Lookin good

That lamp looks cool

where does the water come from and go to?

I guess the water is recycled through a container.

Could you tell us more about this lamp?
 
Nice looking plants you got there Gill, I don't know much about Hydro but it sounds like you are into it :D
Keep us posted!
Good Luck!
 
i use a real basic method..I started with a seperate res ie..40 gallon trash can.Didnt work the water was getting to hot, so I bought a mini fridge and cut holes through the top and out the door to see if I can can control the temps but still no luck..So I went out and bought a 100 gallon can.. figured a lilmore than double the water should take care of it..Nope.So what I am doing now and works for me is filling up the bathtub and recycleing the water from there...When water temps get high I just drain and fill with fresh cold water..I have no more problems with heat no need to vent,Light spectrum is actually a lil bit more in the reds because of the reflection through water,But what really sells me is that the Watercooled light gives off less heat than a human body....So if anybody were to maybe thermal the spot they wont get a hit......

Nice setup bro, where are the fans!!! Id be nice to see moor pics of the entire setup. And also if you want to keep the water col you can buy a water chiller LINK
 
Also, why not try flood and drain? You already have everything pretty much.. Also what nutrients are you using?
 
i know nothing about hydro but those babys look like they could use a drink. i could be wrong but they look droopy to me. besides that they look good. keep em green
 
pic was took when they were sleeping so the droop is normal.I am using
Flora-Nova grow ,Superthrive,Liquid Karma,Floraliciuos Plus.My strain is
OG Kush started from clones..the temps in the room never reach above 80 (Thanks Fresca Sol) so the fan in the room is just to promote strong stem growth..I want to get a chiller but all the money ive spent on this setup I'll just stick with the bathtub till harvest time.. heres some more pics of the set-up thanks for the replies and showing my thread some love .....
