This guy speent $5000 just to check his lights PAR.
He's also put a light mover rail in a small tent
edit: having read through his threads, he turns out to be a total ass and spoils everything. He did way too much research and became a know it all before even planting a seed. Made me realise I just should keep things as simple as possible.
Godzilla mate, you should definately look at the first part of Franks grow, before he turns into an ass and gets into a fight with a LED manufacturer. He builds a water cooled airconditioning system using recycled water from elsewhere in his system, and gets it all in his tent.
Also spoke to Muddy, and he's got a mate who is a wizard with electronics, and were discussing a watercooled system for the LED using bits from an old radiator. There's a few Aquatic stores that sell reconditioned water coolers, these might be a good size to plunder for a cooling system for the LEDs as well. I don't have a clue, I'm no electronics expert.... you are though!!
Interesting you mention an oxygen generator.... it dawned on me that if I up the CO2 ppm in the air of to 1500 surely the oxygen levels will drop, and we need oxygen going into the air pump for the DWC. I thought maybe having the pump outside the cabinet, but that would mean long airlines and noise +++. I've got 4 air inlets in the cab, 2 with fans an the bottom front, and 2 passive holes on the back wall at the bottom for cabling etc. I would have to position the air pump right over one of the intakes to make sure air from outside (with a higher ppm of Oxygen) will go into the DWC to oxygenate the roots. Another thought was to put an ozone generator in the cab, and as Oxygen is a by product of its breakdown, that should improve the O2 ppm. Of course Ozone is hazardous, and I'm not keen on having it as my lungs are bad enough as it is. Again, I'm no expert, just throwing ideas out there so someone can catch them and elaborate... plus its 4am, just got tattooed down one side of my ribs (ouch) and I'm caned.
Would like to see your DWC system though, I'm going to write up a post showing the workings of my 16 site 50 Litre DWC unit with built in drainage tube and top feeding drippers with a water cooler plumbed in. Then I need to get my arse in gear for a Christmas harvest. Must hit the sack, but thanks for your input. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with regarding the controller setup.
