thanks jarff i got 4x 600 running all year round at the moment but come winter it gets as low as -20 here :nono: , i have to nearly stop my extraction to keep the temps anything like right !
i cannot add any extra heating as i am running off a very limited electric supply at the moment .
the power for the bigger set up is generator supplied and gives me 80amps of 230v to play with , so if i am running it i may aswell use it all :joint: .
then i can just run a couple of grows through the winter and enjoy the summer outdoors !
Hey Skin I was posting on the thread about the generators as I have a diesel gen which I am getting set up as we speak.Great thread eh..I,m not goin with any CO2 for first run til.I get everything dialed in...But if you insist on a CO2 gen may I suggest the Blue OX as I have seen a few of these and the ppl with them like them a lot.Good luck man.
I am plagued with minus weather here also .it,s a beetch trying to get everything to a steady temp.btw what type generator you running or gonna run.sounds big with 80 amps.I got a Kubota 6KVA...may do a flip flop with it.
good luck
be safe

nice one jarff , i will not mention a name just yet as they are not so common , i will let the dust settle first as i have had some trouble with the dealer .
but all is sorted now , i have just fitted the timed start electronics , my new fancy 24 x 600w light pannel is on route to me as we speak .
i have 12 digi ballasts and air cooled hoods here ready and the other 12 are old type that i used to use ,i just got to go for a bit of a drive and pick them up , they are so heavy it would cost me a fortune in shipping !
and i should be installing my 4000 litre diesel tank sometime next week !
i may do my first run without co2 aswell , just til i get the generators first few services out the way .
i have the little co2 burner i linked to earlier and may try to use that aswell as bottled co2 , if i can get a ppm controller to run them both or run the burner on a cycle timer and top up with the bottles as i think i may need some added heat later on !
oh yeh the genny is 100 amps so i will just use 73amps when i eventually run 24 600's which is about right !
for now i will get some aircon and see what that is like as i dont know much about it .

nice to hear from you anyway mate
good luckl

not sure what your status is on this post but worms way has the green air products regulator for like 110 on sale right now it was normally like 250. I have owned 3 regulators over the years and this one is ceartinly the best.

thanks VERNONSTER , i have gone with the diy co2 controller as recomended by BIGNUGGET as i already have a co2 gen somewhere and got access to big ass bottles of co2 aswell .
the thinking being i can run both or either from the same controller and it is by far the cheapest option , not that the cost is the issue but i dont want to waste alot of cash on something i know nothing about .
feel free to send me the link mate , i would still like a look but most US based companys dont even respond to mails when they find your not in the US or CANADA !

thankyou

edit-
just found wormsway site , shipping policy - does not ship outside US
territories !
thanks for the thought though mate
