Luckily with the cobs i can turn them down and they are supposed to be cooler then blurple. Ill make it work even if i cant go full power but im sure ill eventually need a bigger fan. Its supposed to get hotter as the week goes on too. Well see how it goes.

 

[Pennywise]

In the mid 80's here at the moment

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Yeah! Its a cool 86 here today but its been crazy hot. One day some areas had over 110 i think it was 120 in death valley.

Nice!! I wish I had the bigger space. My plans keep getting delayed...grrrr.

 

[Pennywise]

Having the same veg and flower space is hard. I have troubke keeping up with demand. My last harvest lasted a whule but we are almost out and my next harvest wont be for a bit. Hoping to change that to 4 plant harvest every 2-3 months

 

[Pennywise]

4 nice plants every 2 months would be more than i

 

[Pennywise]

Would be perfect for the 2 of you.

What kind of gasket did you use?

I used a step bit that runs to 13/16" the grommet is 13/16" and a 1/2" inside. I run the bit through but check for fit before I hit 13/16". One bucket I made the hole a little too small and had a little leak then went too big. Ill post more pics when i find the extras i have.

 

[Pennywise]

Ill look and see if i can find the grommets online, i hate use a bunch of silicone if i dont have to.

Trolling through deweys face book. Looks like someone is successfully using a peltier cooler to run aero outdoors in over 90°f weather in florida. Says temps stay abiut 65°f

 

[Pennywise]

Wow thats sweet, the big problem ive run into is the root ball is so huge its grown over and under the dewey base. Try to pull the roots out of the bucket and the dewey misters are completely entangled in roots. Thats why the base really needs to be on the outside. It will also keep airlines outside so their not a friggin nightmare. Lol

I didnt think about that but i can see that now that you say something. Havent had that problem yet but they did eat the airstone. Its much cleaner mounted outside for sure

Start running bigger plants and the roots are unreal.

Start running bigger plants and the roots are unreal.

They were in 1 gallon buckets so they stayed pretty small but tge roots were still insane! I cant imagine what a 5 gallon bucket would do

 

[Pennywise]

I have a pack of grommets supposed to be here tmro and i have the day off so hopefully ill finish my tote tmro, the Lebbies will be ready for the cloner by the weekend. Coming together .

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Hey alright! Hope that works well for you. The grommet with 1/2" holes is recommended for dewey.
