Grow Mediums RDWC cold air triple aeration - Co2 and seaed tent heat

[cowboy]

If anyone is interested. I will post up details. Heres a pic. Lemme know. Pretty simple, im ramming < degree celcius air into 2 airstones.

1 in each bucket and ramming the same freezing air directly into the water feed line. Aerating and cooling. All the meanwhile recirculating like a beast in CO2...

. The sound is awesome

I'm sure people would want the tutorial

Definitely interested!

Easy, cheap, cold, aerated, and co2 enriched.

So I have a two bucket 5 gallon each recirculating system. It is aerated normally, via a GH dual diaghram pump with 4 outlets. However im sure some have done this but I found I would aerate the water at the same time cooling it also further. Place the pump outside! Get a box made though to protect it. Snow, rain, etc.

1 Outlet leads to the controller bucket which sits outside of the tent. Inside a pre soaked 4 inch round airstone is attached and pump opened.

The second, runs from the pump to the 5 gallon grow bucket inside of the sealed tent and enters the bucket through a hole drilled atop, which is also connected to a pre soaked 4 inch airstone.

The third line however, runs from the pump, to the water feed line. A barbed threaded nipple is pressed into the feed line and is thus attached. Pump is turned on 1/2 turn.

All of this for a lot of us in colder climates can use this method not only to aerate, but to cool their water like a chiller.

The water pump sits in the controller pumping out to the grow bucket inside the sealed tent.

Make sure your return is of larger diameter tubing then the feed.

Pump the water through the feed hose which you have attached the barbed fitting to into your grow bucket and I suggest a stern system. Something that would be stable. Trust me. Top feed of course. Adjust air pump to desired ridiculous aeration. Its too violent maxed out.

Sealing your tent is important. Please note using co2 in any form is useless unless all variables are in place. I don't like to use the term maxed out. But its simple. RH you want below 60%, Temp you need between 28-37, ppm greater then 400 of co2.

Co2? Bottled costs a fortune but if you can do it. Fermentation. Don't do this yeast sugar deal. This system is MUCH stronger. I'm not selling the product so I wont say names ill post my pics and you do your leg work.

Presto, solution is prepped.

The bucket lid is sealed. Tube runs out into catch can bubbler and routes up to the back of your fan. You need ALOT of circulation. Not going further into detail.

Keep your shit in check, and read about co2 and nutes. Im at 2.2EC. and going to 3.2 tomorrow. No burn.


This was a quick write up. Was it worth anything?

 

[realcarlos]

Well worth it, thank you

Apparently 1500ppm without a bottle doesn't interest many...

Actually feel like this is a pretty amazing set up !

Cant have my air pump out the window but I used to keep it next to the open window on a piece of stone slap and worked great to keep my buckets at a constant 18 c

Its great and they say they can get the ppm up to 2000 in a sealed room up to 175 sq/ft... How true is that. Don't know. But I know this. Its given me a slight feeling of co2, and its the direction I want to go. Less plants but grow in co2. The difference is huge.

Ive tried lights. tents, heat, rh, nutes, everything. Nothing really changes things like co2. And im not even dialed in.. .

The money I would save buying jungle juice instead of connoisseur, and running co2 with jungle juice, makes it more cost effective then to use the more expensive brands, All I know is my next purchase, is co2. And if I could start again, I would have a 5x5 tent, 1000w mh, massive aircooled hood a cm off the canopy with a bottle co2 system at 1500-2000 ppm. Temps in low to mid 90s DWC. Forget it. Crazy ness.
