Crispis' Recent Growroom Mods .
Whats up everybody ,
We've been redoing quite a few things in our room since our last grow finished in hopes of bettering the use of light , control of temps. , and lovering the "God Awful" electric bill . 
1- We got rid of 1- 630 cfm blower that was running through our cooltubes = 1260 cfm through the pair was way overkill .
2- Got rid of 1- 449 cfm blower and carbon scrubber in favor of a new space / energy saving VaporTek 4000 that "Bluebear" posted about ages ago .
3- Added a much much larger 950 gph suleaves airpump to feed the 4 DWC airstones . = 240 gph air through each stone verses 40 gph last grow . Using backflow valves for safteys sake now too . Better a lil restriction than die from electricution .
4- Changed the style of airstones in favor of the type "Deftdrummer" uses too .
5- Added 6in. of insulation , 2 layers of 4mil. plastic sheeting , and shower surround material to the ceiling . 3.5 in. of insulation , 2 layers of 4mil. sheeting , 1/2 drywall and flat white paint . Venting through the walls is trick = darkroom vents outside / soffit vents inside , w/ steel collars joining them in the wall so no moisture etc... can ever get to the insulation . Part of which was "PharmaCans" idea .
Both ballasts are ceiling mounted outside the room so less possibility of interior room heat issues .
A wall mounted therm. / rheostat that can measure interior / exterior hum. and temps w/o ever opening the door . It'll also tell you the highest / lowest recorded temps and hum. in the last 24 hrs .= badass for $11.00 .
All air passing through the cooltubes is prefiltered via. a pleated furnace filter seen in the corner above the res. - cleaning the insides of dusty cooltubes is a p.i.t.a .
The room has it's own Heat / Cent. A/C run .
Exhaust is 250 cfm inductor booster fan w/ 0 restriction because they're weak by nature to begin w/ . Intake air is passive through the lower vent sys. = 9 - 4in dia vents - I'm to baked -n- tired to figure out sq. in. of passive vent space for you . 4in. / 3.1416 x 9 maybe ???????? "Rhizome" !!!!! . LOL 
The dehum. is plumbed through the wall and into a 5 gal. bucket w/ drain fitting and hose run to a floordrain . No emptying the dehum. and also eases res. changes by pumping it out right into the 5 gal. bucket right next to the res.
Huge adaptive improvements as far as ability to run the sys. myself - After a lil bit of brainstorming w/ "Rhizome" about a fellow growers op. who is also wheelchair confined . I went to work on my own sys. I can now do just about anything but raise -n- lower the lights myself . = Less fear of the "HOOK" hauling off the loved ones too . 
Now to get some form of life in here !!

There will be a day, a time will come, and I shall set forth to construct a room which I can only hope is half that nice. Crispi - this is a thing of absolute beauty - I hope it serves well! Very nice job and congrats on the rework!!! I think it is time to burn one in dedication to this masterful work!

Look close at the bottom left corner of the 2nd pic. P.G.W
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . 
Thanx for all the kind words folks .
More pics. of the system itself once Im happy w/ it too = still making mods to it , doesnt recirculte fast enough for my liking yet . I see 3/4 in. drain lines in the very near future and possibly a res. chiller maybe .
Socialistpete - Log in the future ? I honestly doubt any sort of indepth log , maybe just spuratic pics. of things as they progress . Lifes a lil fast paced right now .
Peace all
Crispi

Nice looking work, Crispi!
I can't see in your photos, how did you attach the filter to your vent system? You're right about cool tubes being a pita to take down and clean.

xCrispi,
Very nice!
Very cool...
When we make gardening's chores easier, we have more time to play around.
Definitely a ++ to have more time.
Best Crispi and all,

Sup PharmaCan ,
Click the pic containing the filter to enlarge it . Then move the arrow off the pic. and then back on it= the arrow turns into a mag/glass or crosshairs - put cross hairs on filter way over in top left corner and click = giant view .
I used 2 pieces of aluminum channel w/ badass industrial velcro type material holding them to the wall , we can slide the filter in and out and flip it too = I get 4 dif. uses out of the 1 filter - look at the dirty 6in. ring on it already just from playing w/ the system checking temps etc...
I took your advice w/ actual increased R values w/ drywall / greenboard verses the shower surround material , atleast on the inside walls - not the ceiling though .
If I can get 4 lbs. or better out of the next cycle and can afford somemore down time were gonna sheet the exterior cinderblock walls - frame them , insulate em , sheet em again , and hang drywall/greenboard on them too to help w/ temp control like you said .
I feed off all you guys , try to use the site like I used to O/G = like a big ass "Think Tank"
Theres a little bit of Stinky , Weedhound , and Latewood going on inside here too if ya dig around a lil bit . Major props. to Latewood though for ingenious use of the "Pampered Chef" turkey baster for nutes - A major step towards my independence in doing the upkeep / maint. myself .
"Therapy"
Peace
Crispi

Evertking - Does the Vaportek really work that good?!?!
I hear great things about them on I/C Mag. = cvrs stink from 30-50 5 gal. dwc buckets . Bluebear got 1 and loves it . I'll let you know in 2 mos. when were flowering and theres reason to use it bro. It's cartridges are resealable too so 1 cartridge is good for 2 grows .
Thanks for the kind words Trynagethigh - Never thought my hobby would produce a room / crazy system like this man . I'll post more pics. later today - we added 3/4" in. return lines and valves so the system can recirculate at a full 120 gph . Stuffs crazy huge - looks like PlaySkool / FisherPrice down there now . LOL .
Peace all
Crispi

G'day Crispi,
Very nice work on the grow room. I'm sure you will once again outdo yourself in due time with a setup like that.
I was just wondering if you had a CO2 system going. If not how come? I don't mean to pry but you seem to have the money for it...  |

Whats up ppl.
1. - Back w/ some pics. of the actual system w/ the larger 3/4in. return lines - due to slow recirculation last go round I had the beginings of root rot in 1 bucket = roots plugging lines up . Also the water temps were not as low as I liked . Now the system recirculates a full 120 gph. like the pumps rated for . Full system exchange 6 times an hour now . We added some cool clamps on the larger lines to prevent any pos. floods too .
2. - A pic. of old / new plumbing parts for comparisons sake .
3. - Hydro is gonna be a winter sport here from now on . I gotta keep touch w/ my dirtself . The 6 dirt plants are in cfl limbo
at the moment.
4. - 1 of these dirt plants may end up being a keeper Cottoncandy mix mother plant . In order from left to right =
Cottoncandy - Cottoncandy - Weedhounds Ind. mix.
Nexus - The Church - Ghetto Ind. Bagseed .
Were germing a bunch of others now trying to get 4 sprouts that turn me on for use in the hydro buckets but lotsa twisted leaf Blueberry nonsense is going on w/ Dutch Passion beans.  Won't do biz. w/ them again .
QWIDGYBO - Co2 ?? Don't need the headaches or added maint. I do just fine w/o it . Im burnt like you couldn't even imagine bro. and have absolutely nooooo desire to have a propane powerd gizmo up in my house , and repeated trips to get tanks filled draws far to much uneeded attn. to myself . I have a hard time smokin everthing I grow as it is .
Im betting 4 lbs. this next grow . 4 hydro , 5 dirt , and keep the prettiest Cottoncandy as a mom for clones for next summers dirt grow . I have a filty nasty feminised seed habit I'm trying to break .
Peace all
Crispi
