Had to figure out how to train the branches 90* out away from center stem without being able to poke rods in the dirt or drill holes in my buckets so I devised this method of bending the 1/8" aluminum rods around the main stem and out. strapping the branches loosely to the rods with velcro straps that are adjustable/removeable as needed.
@Bamarayne Thanks. My system is 4-13 gallon buckets with a 13 gallon reservoir. My chiller also is the 42 gallons max. aporox 40 gallons in the buckets with 10 more in the reservoir, so it’s definitely overworked. Good thing it comes with a 3 year warranty. Sometime in the future i will buy the bigger chiller so it can take it down a few more degrees. I’m soo deep into this grow and system I need to try and get by as best i can. I do use hydroguard. We live in the desert of Arizona having a daily temp of around 110-115* degrees outside. It’s all we can afford to do to keep our house temp at 78*. So add in the lights, fans, pumps, chiller, all generating some degree of heat.
Next year I am thinking of building out a grow room in a portion of the garage so I can cool that space down more. We’ll see.

Born in Florida so i know your kinda humidity. No thanks… our heat is high & dry. I agree. Once grow is over it will be worth it. No matter how good or bad it turns out I will be smarter. I look forward to chatting & learning as i go.
