Agreed. I don't have any particular problem with Zandor- I've liberally thieved from his FAQ entry on DIY cooltubes- and sent a thanks for that in a +rep too, if I recall correctly.

However, when it comes to the grow op, I begin and end with science. There's quite often a marked difference between a sales pitch and reality. Gimme the proof, double-blind wherever possible. If it stacks up, I'm in the head of the queue with a fistful of ducats and songs of praise. If not, I'll point out where it falls over.

Try a knock and talk from your local NARC's. Even when you know they have a warrant in thier back pocket. with a nephews name on it. Then they tell you exactly what is in your room like they have a picture. It's a bitch. I don't want to jenks myself so maybe news in a few days.

Peace.

yikes, LN... I've been real lucky so far not to get that sort of rudeness at my door. Sorry to hear of your unpleasant visitation.

Thanks man, it'a all good. I like sience too.

It's easier to try , than prove it can't be done. I will try when the science is behind it. LOL

Well I'll stop hijacking. Sorry Chabnoc it's yours.

I wish all of you the best with your grows!!

Happy growing!

It is all good. I have my heat trouble all figured out for my Flowering room. At least I think so. Will have to get it up and going to see what happens. But I am sure it will be GREAT.

didnt read any responses...but here is mine.

Window A/C. They can be bought brand new from Home Depot for about $350 for a good one. Used...they can usually be found for free. I found my 10,000 BTU A/C for $20 off of craigslist, but garage sales and local newspapers are great too. Just make sure the compressor works. I couldn't get mine to work when I got it, not realizing that it was only 60 degrees outside which was too cold for the thermostat to turn on so the compressor wasnt going on.

Portable A/C can be an ok temporary solution but they are expensive and not nearly as efficient. There really is no other way to drastically lower your temps.

RacerX, I take it you did not read the whole thread or even look at the pictures. I have a picture of the new AC window unit I already bought for my new room.

Scroll up to Post #38. My room is only going to be 5'X5'. So this 5,050 BTU unit should do more then needed.

This is off subject a little , a swamp cooler going out not in.
I used a swamp cooler to suck out the air from the room. The grow was at the beach in So. Ca.
I was growing thunderfuck and the smell was out of this world. Like a skunk in the Texas sun.
I used lysole (liquid cleaning solution) in the swamp cooler resivore. One day it ran out of Lysole (sp) and you could smell it 4 houses away. Do not use the perfume stuff as that is a dead give away to the cops.
I have alway grown next to the beach and always had the problem of RH . As with any grow good air movement does the trick.
With co2 induction you always need air movement in all directions , making sure you have one on the floor going up to move the co2 in the air as its heaver than O2 and N2 80/20
I use a ac unit at the end of a bloom cycle to drop the temps to help kickin the tricomes and like a night time temp of 65 d.f.
Using a computer to control the cycles of light,co2 controler, fans, venting, flood and drain. Makes it easy control program relayrunner is real easy to use.

Hey Oldsanclem,

How did you get it where your computer controls everything? This sounds interesting.

I have my AC unit set at setting 5/10 for power, and my outlet fan set on the lowiest setting. My room stays at an even 78f, with 38% humidity. It has stayed there for the last 48 hours. Seems to be working very well.
