Scott Carley (Spambie) is doing it with some pretty decent results, nobody here can beat him.

Most of the Pumpkin guys are still staying quiet.


I appreciated you sharing what you did in your diary Eddy!:)


Good luck in 2019!!! Going to be fun to watch!


If I had the extra cash I’d be right there with you. The cooling system would break the bank for me.

Dry ice + fan. No excuses So cal. I know dry ice is expensive at retail and expensive to store but... add it to your wish list.

You might be onto something! Then I wouldn't have to vent as much because of the cooling effect!

I think it much cheaper to buy and use tanks of CO2 than to use dry ice

Theres a better idea.
You would get a very slight cooling affect there too because gas cools when decompressed. It would at least not create heat and would be better for the environment since its probably captured and recycled from some fuel burning industry so it would be entering the atmosphere anyhow. You can earn one carbon credit but only if your pumpkin weighs 2k. No carbon credit if it weighs 1999.5.

I would guess weed growing sites would be a good place for info,I think you can just run tubing out through the patch.The poor man's way is to set the end of the tube into a glass of water to see the number of bubbles coming out.
