Spy mang.. I’m the last guy to say this.. but that’s how you know it’s true..
you need to run high end max efficiency LED s exclusive.. no more hid.. ? i know man..
So like cobs or strips run super low power but lots of em $$???
Jesse and coffee and a bunch of folks could help you plan the build and you could save a bit at least doing everything yourself. Basically ask advice from anyone but me or I’ll have you running cheap Chinese premade units and household bulbs and shit.
It’s the only way.. it’s too damn hot down there. Can’t imagine. Running 2 315 cmh s and a handful of leds myself, I have to open a window if it’s a ‘warm’ winter day. (You’d still be dying if you were visiting but hoodie weather for locals) even with 6 inch exhaust wide open, no carbon muffler venting out of the room. And 4 inch cranked with filter drawing intake (plus negative pressure drawing through a vent and under the door)
When I run the leds even in place of 1 cmh, I can’t even keep it warm enough. And my leds kinda suck even compared to what you could do.
There’s your answer homie

I is working on it mang. The HID and Vipars (to a lesser extent) were a cheap stop gap on my journey to outfit the whole shebang with "real LED." I summoned my inner Rom and was quite resourceful last year. My grow was increasing by the day faster than the light situation could keep up. Remember when I was scopin out street lights n stage lights n shit? Then super bargained those new Cmh ballasts and pieced out some "hood" options?

You're absolutely right. Got me a coupla sets of turp bars, so... It has begun! This year oughta be interesting. You may even get to see me fumble with a soldering iron with Jesse going :facepalm:

Mornin! It's :coffee: time

I have that dehuey heat problem too. It saved my ass on PM but the garage gets too hot. 70 pint. Plus it fills up 3/4 way through the night. I could hook a hose to it but nowhere to drain except another bucket and that could overflow
Hey @spyralout i no longer use this setup because i kind of ran out of room but it worked pretty good when i was using it. The dehumidifier needs to have a pump on it for this to work. I set a 35 gallon barrel on a furniture mover with wheels. I put a drain valve at the base of the barrel. Then set your pump line from the dehuy to the top of the barrel. You can do one of two things to the water wheel it to a convenient dumping spot( usually once a week). or leave it right there and use it on the plants. If you are storing the water you will have to treat it to keep the nastys at bay.
