Holy crap Bobbble, my new name for you is the "Iceman"....you have ice for blood your so cool!

Walk in cooler HOW do you think this shit up, I mean did you hit a 4 way tab and just become enlightened or was it just some of that good Ear Wax?

Also on another subject and completely random, HOW do you get the picture in your signature line "centered" w/o using little dots to do it like I did? I also was wondering how you did multiple images in your sig line?

lol... I was at work... inside the walk in cooler... and I thought to myself "I bet that evaporator could handle all the heat I throw at it..." And the room is air-tight. Pre-built. Lots of restaurants go out of business and sell their coolers... which are really just 4" foam walls, with a mini-split. Anyway, it's not a terrible idea for a pre-fabbed grow room.

Highlight the picture text, and click the button to center it just like you would anything else... and just put the pics next to each other w/o any spaces. It might take a few tries to get it how you like it, but you'll figure it out.

Amazing...I am always simply amazed at the unique genius's we have in the vertical section yes I'm biased......I mean we have peeps hear creating new uses for old equipment ( recycling), creating wealth to stimulate the local economy which creates jobs and added wealth and new taxes are generated and people who buy our meds are made better or at least FEEL better fromthe finished product.

We are are the Droids Obama is looking for!

Bobble used to see a lot of those heat exchangers back on OG, used to work very very well... from what I recall water is more efficient than air at cooling.... Interested to see how you get on with that ....

Mega you crack me up dude u must be good shit in real life :D 'my ninja' loooool! first time I heard that...

Yeah I'm using DIY heat exchangers already... and so I thought about it, and I don't want that old compressor when I'm using chilled water... I need to upgrade my fans is all, and I bought aftermarket race car radiator fans and a 12v power converter to drive them... No more temperature issues in the future... But I had to grow in the summer
to experience peak heat and find a solution. I've tried soo many other fans... and finally, I found something that I'm positive will do the job.

Ready for a final trim and jarring... The two large boxes are Straw DD and the smaller ones are USD.

Care to explain about these fans and exactly how you have this set up? Very interested.

Gotta love a box of buds bro :D

What you got there? # wise...

it's at least 3-4lbs... ;) more than that is gravy.

Ok... All cooling units do is displace heat. They pass hot air over a chilled coil to remove the heat, and return the air to the room. People heat their houses like this too. This is an all in 1 heating/cooling environmental control unit, not too different from a mini-split.

I buy my radiators on ebay. The 2 in the pods are 12" x 18".

The problem for me has been moving enough air over the radiator, w/o causing too much increased transpiration with the plants. I put my radiators under the lights for multiple reasons. 1- should there be condensation (there never has been), it won't fall on the lamps. 2- My fans are ducted in at the top... Cool air falls, but does that apply if it's being sucked right out of the room? I don't think so. So I envision this cool air wind tunnel... however I haven't had the proper fan. I used a high powered inline fan, but that rattled the lamps with it's 6" outlet, even on a temperature controller. I used 6 large PC fans, but they weren't powerful enough. I need the fan to have a low profile, and move air over a large surface area, AND be powerful about it but not too powerful... And then it occurred to me that they make fans specifically for radiators, and I just need to fork out the money and do it right. The fans aren't expensive, it's the 12v power converter.

I got red cause it's my favorite color... :) They're 12" x 12" and are supposed to be rated for 1550cfm? lol... w/e, but at 80w that tells me they're pretty powerful.

So, I pump water through the radiator, that has this fan conditioning the air in the bobblepod to be the same temperature as the water, right? Well, I have a reservoir with a chiller and a heater. I have a $180 controller that keeps the temperature at 70F, with a variance of 1F. That's how you keep temps within 6F lights on/off.

How long a cure do you give, generally?

As long as it takes to sell it all... Normally I wait 2 weeks, and then it's gone cause shit like this doesn't sit on the shelf long.

My personal smoke... I like it after 3-4 weeks. Gotta give the chloriphyl time to break down.

Later... I'm beat from work. I have 1 or 2 more grows with this plant lined up already... So it'll be plenty well documented. I'm gonna flip a room with the mom and way too large to keep around clones... Did I mention it will be a USD MONOCROP?

Yeah bro, I can tolerate a lot more... lol...

I'm coming up on 5 years as the grower bobblehead... I wasn't really taking things seriously until the past year. Now I have a goal and a plan to achieve it. I have a solid record of smashing all of my goals. Sometimes it takes a little longer than planned, but I always achieve my goals.

2 houses a year for 4 years, paid for with "donations" from patients/dispensaries... Stop growing commercially with 8-10 houses. Keep investing the proceeds being received from existing portfolio... Build said portfolio up to 30+ properties w/o the stress of doing some shit that can land me in jail. Go fishing.

Just wait till you see the shit I drop on everyone in the next 2 weeks. :smokey: Only a few are privy to what I've been up to.

True story B has a very bright future! Goodluck brother

Thanks bro. :dance013:

Awesome pull Bobble!
Too bad your pod takes up 6x6... Maybe I could try a slightly smaller set up in a corner of my room after I set up my weed donuts.
Looking forward to the "secret" plans lol
