Update On A "sealed Air Flow Geo Thermal Grow Shed W/l.e.d.'s

Looks like a nice setup man! Which LED unit are you using? I've been skeptical about them but bought one and doing a grow with one for the first time, would be great to hear a success story!

I can't remember their name and it's freezing cold to go out there now but I know it's in the top 10 practical led's costing in the area 70 to 100 $ with that in mind I have pulled 2 harvests off 'em and although the amount in weight wasn't even close to an outdoor grow I must say them buds was FIRE-- the indica's would have ya not just couch locked but sitting there dueling thinking man I smoked too much and the hybrid and sativa's would have ya sitting in the same spot but have ya thinking how the dam couch was made in the first place lol. On a serious note; my advice is if you can afford it definitely get led's that have light spectrum dials as they are stronger and you can focus your growth stages. That's what I'm buying after this harvest and I'm willing to drop a couple hundred per light but not 1000's like some growers that have it like that lol things to consider in your determinations on choices of a light are full spectrum, power/wattage, the area the light is most efficient-- as in square footage and distance from plants, heat produced and life expectancy of leds. I know that sounds like allot of figuring but it's like they say, "The mind is stronger than any sword!" I'll add you as friend and give you any knowledge I have acquired that will help. Remember that a quarter lbs. of some fire is far better then 3 lbs. of common grade buds!!!

Too true I have the mixed spectrum at the moment, wish I'd spent a little more and got dual but still getting on well with it... Thanks I'll add you too always nice to share findings!

I've been doing a bunch of research into these, so awesome to see someone actually doing it.

How many feet of pipe did you bury and how far down did you go? Assuming there's a fan, what CFm did you go with?

There's allot involved and consider that many will bring doubt and denial when you build it but just keep going! here is the link with most info on it

I noticed it said i was running 4 inch and thats to small and hard to push air, I used 6 inch slotted drain hose at 100 feet and I used 2 sealed 15 feet hoses for the inside/outside intake and exhaust. I dug a massive hole 4.5 feet wide by maybe 10 feet long, about 9.5 deep where I ran into sand that kept collapsing. So i started with the exhaust side first that goes straight to the bottom of pit. Then i made a single coil or ring and back filled it about 1 foot of dirt then using X shaped pieces of wood to prevent cave-in from weight then I made the next ring on top of spacing dirt and rince and repeat . here is a link to the inline fan I use and dont go cheap on the fan it must have long life and a bunch of torc

Good looks thanks dude. I'm still a few months away but will eventually get there.

Nice man! I've been really intrigued by GAHT Systems since I learned about em. Glad you got it figured out for your setup!
