Whats up everybody ,
We've been redoing quite a few things in our room since our last grow finished in hopes of bettering the use of light , control of temps. , and lovering the "God Awful" electric bill .

1- We got rid of 1- 630 cfm blower that was running through our cooltubes = 1260 cfm through the pair was way overkill .

2- Got rid of 1- 449 cfm blower and carbon scrubber in favor of a new space / energy saving VaporTek 4000 that "Bluebear" posted about ages ago .

3- Added a much much larger 950 gph suleaves airpump to feed the 4 DWC airstones . = 240 gph air through each stone verses 40 gph last grow . Using backflow valves for safteys sake now too . Better a lil restriction than die from electricution .

4- Changed the style of airstones in favor of the type "Deftdrummer" uses too .

5- Added 6in. of insulation , 2 layers of 4mil. plastic sheeting , and shower surround material to the ceiling . 3.5 in. of insulation , 2 layers of 4mil. sheeting , 1/2 drywall and flat white paint . Venting through the walls is trick = darkroom vents outside / soffit vents inside , w/ steel collars joining them in the wall so no moisture etc... can ever get to the insulation . Part of which was "PharmaCans" idea .

Both ballasts are ceiling mounted outside the room so less possibility of interior room heat issues .

A wall mounted therm. / rheostat that can measure interior / exterior hum. and temps w/o ever opening the door . It'll also tell you the highest / lowest recorded temps and hum. in the last 24 hrs .= badass for $11.00 .

All air passing through the cooltubes is prefiltered via. a pleated furnace filter seen in the corner above the res. - cleaning the insides of dusty cooltubes is a p.i.t.a .

The room has it's own Heat / Cent. A/C run .

Exhaust is 250 cfm inductor booster fan w/ 0 restriction because they're weak by nature to begin w/ . Intake air is passive through the lower vent sys. = 9 - 4in dia vents - I'm to baked -n- tired to figure out sq. in. of passive vent space for you . 4in. / 3.1416 x 9 maybe ???????? "Rhizome" !!!!! . LOL :stoned:

The dehum. is plumbed through the wall and into a 5 gal. bucket w/ drain fitting and hose run to a floordrain . No emptying the dehum. and also eases res. changes by pumping it out right into the 5 gal. bucket right next to the res.

Huge adaptive improvements as far as ability to run the sys. myself - After a lil bit of brainstorming w/ "Rhizome" about a fellow growers op. who is also wheelchair confined . I went to work on my own sys. I can now do just about anything but raise -n- lower the lights myself . = Less fear of the "HOOK" hauling off the loved ones too .:thumbsup:

Now to get some form of life in here !!
