That's awesome numbers aero.

Laylow whilst I fully agree with you that my room is uber productive, with the uk new sentencing guidelines, due to high plant number I would get a mandatory prison sentence of around 3 years. So I need to lower plant numbers. Also figured to the untrained eyes of the law that a bare bulb vert looks no way near as pro as a duel blockbuster system sitting on essentially an f&d table.

Nice number on the first lady :D
As u mentioned a chiller from an aquarium u had earlier, i tried looking around the net for one similar... Jesus are those prices high :/
think ill pass this round up, and see if i can get me some cash saved up for a chiller in the future. Unless anyone got suggestions on how to make one yourself ?

Anyways, still keeping an eye on the thread for the final number ;)

Fair enough mate.... you can make any size room work but if you have the space the bigger the better :tiphat: good luck will be watching out for whatever you decide to do :D

Get a window air conditioner, take it apart and put the evaporator coil into a container of water. Pump res water through tubing from your res into a loop in the container and back to res. I think I did a how to on here at some point. I've been running one for a few years.

Hey Aerohead I hope all is well with you. I just reread your entire thread and I know it has been asked and answered but damn, you ran the entire grow just using a small fountain pump? Would you mind posting a pic of it if it is not too much bother? I have a couple but neither has wattage info. I know you said it was a 30w but any idea on the gph? When I change my room I am going to copy you twice :)

peace brother

interresting, ill have a look around for the how to and see if i can come up with something :) Thanks

EDIT: Searched the forums, and only fell over a 25$ DIY guide with a water cooler, where the images in the thread didnt work.
Is it possible that you have a link :) ?

Maybe I never posted it here or it got lost, so made a new thread.

You can get one for about $100 new and sometimes less off craigslist. I spent under $100 on mine including a/c, pumps, tubing, etc.

We finally have dry weight:

RB #1 292 grams
RB#2 234 grams
GDP 254 grams
CM 361 grams (3 plants)

Total 1141 grams of frosty nuggies.

118 grams of Larf that was not weighed into the total...

There is still about 2.5 pounds of dried sugar leaf that will be made into bubble hash very soon and I'll post how much it weighs after it's dry.


Here is a picture of the final pull next to my favorite beer (minus about 5oz) that didn't stick around for the rest to be dried.

Hey MC, Yes, I made the entire round with a small fountain pump but it was rated at 8 watts, The 30 watt I mentioned will be the upgraded pump so I can top feed 8 buckets. I'll try to post a pic of the pump soon, it's about the size of a small pill bottle and came out of a desk top water fountain.

One of the 3 CM plants was in the center chain of buckets top fed by the fountain pump and it was almost twice the size of the other 2 CM's. I can only imagine if that GDP monster was in that spot....lol So I decided to modify the system to top feed all 8 planned buckets next run.
