I have been reading every1's projects for awhile now. I think its time for me to share my project. Hopefully someone might see something i'm missing and point me in the right direction. I love the nug porn, hopefully with some advise I will have some to show.
Here is a little about my space.
I built a room in my garage. its roughly 7'x11'. I split that into 2 rooms. One is 6.5'x6 (flowering room) and the other is 5.5'x6'(closet/utility room).
Rooms were built with 2x4 frame R-13 insulation in the walls and then foam Reflectix board (R-4.5) on top of that on the inside flower room. The exposed wall in the garage was wrapped in Foam Reflectix board (R-4.5) and OSB on top of that. I did not insulate the floor of the rooms. I put down a rubber pond liner on the floor to make it easier to clean up. Above the the rooms I insulated the attic with R-30 insulation.
In the utility room/closet, I have 2 1k quantum ballasts mounted on the wall. I have a clone cabinet there, its a husky cabinet(24x30) with panda plastic wrapped in the inside with 2ft 4bulb T5. this room stays about 77 with no a/c. This summer its 100+ in the garage.
I plan on putting that garage door insulation on the Garage door. Trying to insulate the rest of attic above garage with R-30 insulation.
My flower room is setup with 2 1k Liquid Lumen reflectors. I have 3/4 pipe coming out of the res. to a manifold then it goes down to 1/2 braided tubing feeding the LL. The water returns to the res via 1" manifold All the pipes are wrapped in pipe insulation. I have a 100 gal vertical res in the corner of the room. its wrapped with a R-11 water heater blanket. I have a 1/2hp(6000btu) chiller on a shelf above the res. i built a box with foamboard around the exhaust and vent into the attic with a 400cfm fan attached sucking the heat into the attic. I also have a single hose Port A/C (12000Btu) that runs the whole time the lights are on. The Port A/C is vented into the attic also. I ran this setup in the winter and I was fine. But now Its a different story.
I am running 1k LL trying to keep the temps under 82 degrees. A/C runs the whole time. when the chiller kicks on it stays on till after the light turns off.
Sorry about the rambling kinda stonered out.
I want to run CO2; if my A/C and Chiller are venting into the attic the whole time lights are on Isn't that a waste of CO2?
Should i lift the res up off the ground and put a insulated pad for it sit on?
Should My res for the LL be completely sealed?
Anyone who runs water cooled lights what do you set your chiller temps to?
Should i pickup a bigger chiller or split A/C?
I am trying to find out if its better to continue on the Water-cooled light path or go to back to cooltubes and a/c?
