Made a few temporary adjustments to the hydro system. Using a submerable water pump with two 360 sprinklers until the water chiller comes in today then i'll be making it a DWC with water just touching the bottom of the net pots.
The chiller is a ecoPlus chiller amde for hydroponics, 1/10 HP. Should keep the water chilled all the time at the perfect temp (68F). This should be my final addition to the system.
My main concern is getting the roots long enough to start the vigorous growth. You can have the coolest hydro setup, but if you don't start with making the roots grow your plants wont do doodoo. Some roots are long, i'd say myl ongest one is 4inches. Im using rapid rooter plugs, this medium is hard to over water and has a great air-to-water ratio.
After i setup the water chiller and all i'll post up some more pics, also turned off the AC to see if the temp would get too high, for now the temps are good, about 81-83F
wish me luck, any comments or suggestions are welcomed
