Thx for the props and the feedback on the evaporative cooler PB!ps. that evap cooler works wonders. I have found it will go through about 4 gallons in twelve hours on the high setting. I suppose that it would go through more or less depending on environmental circumstances. No, it doesn't make good noises when it runs out of water- sounds like a dryer alarm; ooops. Needs timer.
Shady, nice work bro.

Sounds like a proper solution brah! Thx for the advice again...in drier climes, swampers are da shizz... cooling AND humidifying, all for a tiny fraction of the cost of AC.
You might consider installing a evap. cooler style float valve, and connecting that to your water supply. Less hassle keeping up with refills that way!
Nice mod eh! I haven't picked up a humidifier just yet, but I will look for one or an evaporative cooler soon...Don't know if you got a humidifier yet? I buy the whole house humidifiers from sears
they go on sale all the time 100$ off. I have 3 of them hooked to my res with auto fills hooked up. Just drill a hole and set and forget. I use H2O2 to keep them clean and replace the filters every 3 grow. When they brake you just take it in and they replace it. I have had one crater so far. Here are some pix of what I do to them...
Thx bud! I'm just trying to stay on top of things...Your kickin ass shady good shit bro
Current Culture H2O Net Pots... A Shady Transplant Tutorial
Thanks to Dan and the Current Culture crew I was surprised with a nice upgrade to my existing 8" net pots. Last Thursday night I transplanted all six cuts to the new and improved Current Culture H2O net pots. I'm really diggin' the new design from the solid upper half of the pot which should help prevent any light from entering the buckets, to the inverted conical planting deck which provides a standardized planting depth, and leads to an increase in both lateral root growth and more atmospheric O2 to the heart of the root mass. As noted by Dan, this design should also help decrease the chance of an anaerobic root zone and subsequent disease issues...
I'll start the shady transplant tutorial with the White Fire #3 with roots poking out of the regular 8" net pot...
Then I've filled the Current Culture H2O net pot to cover the inverted conical planting deck with a single layer of hydroton...
Simply set the rooted cut on deck...
And fill with enough hydroton to reach the rim...
Here's a shot of all six cuts transplanted...
