Lost In The Fog

Crazy! Good luck and I hope it works .

Thx Shed. I think I need that.

This is going to be fun to see if it hold up. Full report tomorrow! Watching MI Fallout tonight. Started laughing, one of the bad guys is called White Widow.... That's my favorite smoke. My X is at her daughter this weekend so I'm all alone! GREAT!!!

So are you ditching the tent all together?

 

[CraZysWeeD]

So are you ditching the tent all together?

No, no way. This is just a test of the rig. No seeds in the pots yet. Must be sure of the rig before I start this next run. But it's closer to the grow...

As much as I enjoy growing, I also like seeing others grow. I'm about to drop some beans and ship them to your ass!

Haha. I know your want to see green so do I. But the timing is everything to me. It's going to be awesome to try this kit out and tweak it up some more. I wonder what optimum temps will be.

Are you still going to run those LED side strips along the front and back with these 3 lights?

Haven't decided yet but it leans towards putting them in another tent for vegging and cloning. So I mite start up the grow with them the first few weeks maybe. So I have time to dial in Poseidon.

I like how you've never named this mad scientist contraption Poseidon

Nothing ever gets official in my life, it's always trail and error.

 

[CraZysWeeD]

No Poseidon is alive. Running with two pucks for an hour now to start with. I think I have been running the third one hard. Its been solo driven by a Meanwell HLG-185H-48A. The pucks take 2,1A a piece and that's the lowest you can turn those drivers.

So is it working so far?

 

[CraZysWeeD]

The Peltiers are running full tilt after 10mins of running I think the water temp is at 30C:ish. Dont trust this IR thermometer. But you can easily touch the cobs. The photon radiation heat is intense so will still need good ventilation from the tent.

 

[CraZysWeeD]

So is it working so far?

U bet it is.

 

[Pennywise]

You'll always have some heat I think, but winters coming so all good.

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Well if this doesn't bring the results I want to see it's a bust. Then it will be those pin fin heat sinks and hurricane extraction. It's not as noise free as I imagined it but I haven't made any attempts of sound proofing it either.

Yes winter months are always the best for inside growers.

Still working and cobs are around 34C now. I got a good reading on the photon heat, 52C. That's HOT light.

 

[Pennywise]

They do produce some heat, how high above the canopy are you?

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Test has been aborted! There is something wrong going on with the peltiers. The water going in was 34C and the water going out 37C. It's heating the water.....

 

[CraZysWeeD]

They do produce some heat, how high above the canopy are you?

No plants under them yet. The reading was taken underneath the lights.

 

[CraZysWeeD]

I'm keen on trying it with just the radiator I got. Think I will run a test with only that. Now I'm going to let everything cool down again before I try anything else. First test lasted 30min....
