It is a "real" chiller, it's a Current Prime and it cost about $350

get a pond pump from harbor freight, and 25ft of poly line from lowes. all said under 30 bucks. then you can pump in and out of the res instead of hauling buckets. if youre roots arent real bad there might not be too much slime. just change the water when it gets the slime on top. besides while you are fixing the plants with hz, why not just run tap water?
It's mostly the carrying of 5gal buckets (6 of them) out to the grow shed. My well water PH is about 7.5, I don't think the plants would like it much.

at 400 an ounce so is weed. better a successful grow than no smoke. i would either invest in a better chiller, or a bigger bottle of hz. i believe its prevention dose is much smaller than its unfuckshitup dose
I don't see anything that says "maintanence dose" or "unfuckshitup dose" so I can't say how much it would take for maintenance. Right now the recommended dose will get me 4 weeks per bottle. So $80 per grow plus nutes which are about $80 per grow, so $160... I guess that's not too bad...

bitchin, i will go look. you gotta part number?
I tried looking it up but Lowes search function sucks. Just look for the irrigation plumbing and you find the 1/2 inch inserts, male and female.
