I have a strain that's a temp bish. 1 of 18 I run have this issue. Aside from just putting them on my cold basement floor last night, chilling the water is needed.
If I didn't like this strain, I would never even bother.
I'm running a 6x6 tent, and would love to get one of those Hailea chillers.There have been others, but I think it's time to build a new thread about water chilling as a viable, if not outright superior alternative to climate conditioning indoor gardening spaces to traditional AC approaches.
My own experience is this; basic AC only addresses temperature and does not regulate humidor well. While this is acceptable in an office environment, an indoor growing space is a completely different situation.
It is therefore my contention that about half of a typical indoor grow's cooling bill could be saved with the use of chilling. This savings can be increased with a heat pump, geothermal and certain other technologies beyond the scope of this thread.
I hope I didn't bore you, I'm trying to save you a fortune!
I have a second one coming today. It’s wort your time.Would anyone recommend using a Wortchiller?
I thought i could throw something like this into a cooler full of ice and water?
Worth the trouble?
Hi Smokey,do you mean you have a second wort chiller now, or another chiller?I have a second one coming today. It’s wort your time.
It’s a baby wort that would fit in pail.Hi Smokey,do you mean you have a second wort chiller now, or another chiller?
Oh nice...thanks for the reply.
Hey Smokey, oh yeah i have a magnetic drive pump, does 52liters a minute, about to get a cooler and hook it all up.Cooler , wort coil. You must intend using a pump ,.
Your almost there for full out system.
When I experimented with RDWC before going to coco, in main reservoir i had fishtank heater set at 68F and would put in one or two 2 liter bottles frozen solid in freezer every day.
Hey Smokey i haven't been able to find a single picture of a wort chiller immersed into a cooler.Cooler , wort coil. You must intend using a pump ,.

I'm relying to my own post!Hey Smokey i haven't been able to find a single picture of a wort chiller immersed into a cooler.
My wort is pretty large and struggling to find a cooler box to house it in, can you share any pics?
My wort's inlet and and outlet are pretty high, and cooler box's aren't that high, so not sure what i can do so it's fully immersed in cold water..do people leave the lids open on their coolers, etc?
I just want to run the water from my system through the wort and back into the main res.
