Could you show what you are referring to as a cooling system? I am interested in what you would use that is that reasonable in cost cause a chiller normally costs a couple hundred pounds (250-275 US).

Good, you should see explosive growth once the plants get through the initial root growing phase. Mine sort of pause when they are pushing roots out of the net and then really take off.

This is only for 30 ltr system but the main component could be doubled or trebled in theory.

Ok bro, I get it a Peltier solid state cooler. The only thing I am wondering is if 60W is enough to do the job. Maybe you chain a few together but then soon you are at the price of a standard cooler. Also, how do you control it would you use some kind of thermostat?

Love the creative thinking!

Nice! How many watts do you think you need to make it cool enough?

Well the system I bought is this
The components are above for half the price you could run two coolers without the box kit. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/282726884924
2 heat sink kits for next to nothing
