I'm lucky to live in CO and have as much cool/cold air as I need...Summer or Winter. That water cooled shit always scared the fuck out of me. What a mix.

1 leak on a hot wire should be all it will take , for em to move on from water cooled lights.

I am 99% ready to go. Just want to get some seed starter soil for the nursery pots. Just spent about 3 hours cleaning the tents, getting the soil mixed and in the pots, and getting the blumats set up. I went with rice husks for mulch this time to try to keep the humidity a little lower than usual in there.

rice hulls help a lot ,as ground cover

Apparently there are water cooled leds now...seems excessive considering leds run so much cooler than HIDs...

Watercooled LED's have been around for a good while. DIY'ers have experimented with a lot of techniques.
Just never gained traction.

can’t wait for Tuesday I’ll be stalking the mail man. @Heisen that chimera 3 is fire I’ll take s1s of that asap. Lol

Problem might have been, when the lights were off, condensation formed, or oxidation maybe broke the bond between the led base and heatsink. I remember someone talked about it in here or RIU before this forum was created.
It will eventually be a valuable product, if it can improve efficiency and extend the led's life.
For example, air cooled vs water cooled motorcycle engines.
As far as lights, it's "2 strokes" vs 4 strokes. CC for CC, 2 strokes are the "dominate species.".
I'll take a bunch of Vero 29's or 3590's over the strip light(cheapest by far to produce).
All for a little savings on your electric bill, maybe.
Environments change in the grow room, even with different led systems.
It's fascinating!

i know i have faced things nobody said anything about ,even the new spyder drops you on your butt, at about 660 ,right at the edge of what is needed in the red spectrum.

Chunk came from the ice cream cake big fat ass chunky nugs, the dunk was cause it's crossed to oreoz which alot of people dunk in milk. That's why I named it.

I put a little thought in it, and figured out the dunk part with Oreoz. The chunk part I figured was because it rhymes. I know it has to be tough to find new names, but in the classic weed-nomenclature sense, it ain't Chemdog or Sour Diesel. But it has a ring like Purple Urkle so there's that.

Since I'm the only one growing it I'll keep an eye (and nose) out for a new name possibility,

I need it for this winter to keep the contest plants warm.
I'm building a raised heated floor for a growing bed,
Will keep the soil nice and warm, no matter how cold the room gets.

I used a king size waterbed frame/mattress (and heater) back in the day for the same purpose. The mattress was just less than 1/2 full. It worked so well I then used those big contractor bags doubled up and made a spot for the clones. Talk about love it.

The use of liquid cooling comes straight from PC processor technologies, it's a sealed system that's pretty reliable nowadays. If it can cool an overclocked chip an led light is nothing by comparison.

i think i remeber something about them several years back, when i first started snooping around on the forums from hell!
