hello everybody, where to being.... well lets start with the new fuck ups
. i had drilled some holes it two coroner of the bottom res ( little flat part shaped like a triangle, those of you who know know what I'm talking about) to originally run cords and air lines. found a better way to do it and ended up super gluing some plastic over them so water wouldn't leak out. super glue failed, not realizing where the water all over the floor was coming from about 4 days.
i had filled up the res up to 70g to help with the heat issue (which didn't work on hot days) and lost 40 of those gallons. fixed that with some gorilla tape but didn't think about the other side which failed the next day and dripped all over my air pump. needless to say:dance:. sucked cuz i had just hooked up a new 8 inch disc air stone, its a beauty!
now the good things
. after hooking up a stronger exhaust can fan, and directing the heat outside, completely outside grow area and room, i have dropped the res temp down to 62f when the lights off and slowly creeps up to 71 73 tops depending how hot it gets during the day. it has stayed at 71.2 for the last week when lights are on:yippee:.
was also able to find some microwave fans laying around that i was able to convert into intake, out-take for the inside of the root chamber. what else can i call it:smokin:? just fyi i got like 19 inches of space with 30g of water between the top and bottom of of this two res's. i mean, thats a lot of space for the roots right? any who, my intake has a pipe that runs down to the first lip of the top res, so it blows air right on top of the water, if its filled up to the full 70g. my out take is only about 3 inches in to suck any heat out the top. had to make a little box for it out of cardboard i took from the box my recycling timer came in, and gorilla tape. love that stuff.
some pics then some more ranting.
