C526, thank you so much for that current draw quote. I now know that it pulls about as much as one of my HIDs, and in my current arrangement I can make that unit work if I replace my MH for veg with a floro panel and get a gas stove! That's a definite possibility I am now considering, so thanks again.
Koncept, unfortunately I am constantly changing things so by the time you get around to recreating some of my stuff, I will have been moved onto other stuff so you'll then have to claim it as your own. I'm finding the skill of "fabrication" only consists of doing whatever ya gotta do to make it work the way you want it to. Some call it Jerry Rigging, some call it McGuyvering, whatever it is, just do what ya can to make your spot the best you can make it to be with what you have or know you can get.
I was going to get wall mount fans regardless of which direction I take when I get that money, so hopefully this will alive some of that humidity. If I do go back to getting 2 more cool tubes, I know at any moment, I will never have more than 2 of them on so then it would just be a matter of getting that gas stove and hopefully my carpet finds a way to repel dirt! I will explore other options for possible funding of both.
I should've waited to shoot a vid b/c I changed a few things in veg after the res change and it looks way cleaner in there. I'd like to get back into trying to take cuts and hopefully successfully root them in a bubbler, so hopefully I can get on that pretty soon because I just topped the clones again today and discarded the offed tops, some cutoffs could have been considered large measuring roughly 6" in height which would have made good clones IMO. I also went ahead and poked a hole in the ceiling and ran some 1/4" tubing for the RO feed line. I will splice into the existing line that feeds the veg tank and hopefully there's still enough water pressure to push the water up another 9 or so feet on climb to the next floor where there will be another larger tote with a float valve in it. I am also planning to feed down a long length of 1/2" (I.D.) PEX tubing right down to the basement and terminate it right into the waste line. If I can make it snake all the way down, I will then be able to at least have a dedicated waste line from the attic down, and possibly the veg room if I can fit in a DIY sink. I'm really looking forward to not have to carry water up or down if possible.
For the 1 remaining seed plant, I intend to (but haven't yet) try to sit it on a 5 gallon bucket of nutes and have it drain right back in through many holes cut in the lid. Hopefully the liquid flows and doesn't bind up anywhere as it would then spill over in seconds, so gotta get it working perfectly before I can trust it to be alone.
