Confused about DWC tremps??

Yeah I took your advice and restarted again, better late then (potentially) never right?

So now I´m on a single again with 68 in DWC bucket and kept there by a chiller + around 77-76 in the rest of growroom, hope that is the answer for me? I mean I´m in a small apartment with inner temps of about 82 - 83 in the summer so even when running a cooled reflector I still need to also run AC in the apartment to get down temps..

Thanks to all of you for helping out!

Run it under 68 degrees. Im running mine at 63 degrees, no problem.

Thanks GreenThumbSucker appreciate you info a lot, guess I could give it a go.. The one main thing that is a bit hard for me is to "select" and go with a certen temp based upon others saying.. I really wish I had more then one single bucket to play around with so that I could have one to experiment on, I cannot imagining it being healthy for the girl to play around and swap temps to the left and right each couple of days/weeks to see what she likes the most? or...?? At least you guys have given me a number to aim for so that I might later fine tune it for my specific needs and find out what´s best for my strain, conditions etc..?


Gotta love the this place, I have also asked elsewhere and despite writing about my chiller some just keep posting that I should add ice bottles to the res? Makes me think they didn´t read it at all which in itself gives the trust a blow! I´m referring to take tips from somehow who didn´t care enough to read through the initial post? At rollitup I have several good answers thanks!


Little girl is growing now but extremely slow imo, of course no real roots yet but roots are growing very slow to.. Looks white though, thinking about skipping H2O2 if it´s healthy and go with beneficials instead. If I now can do that after having started on H2O2 already? /dr.medecine

Basically requires the use of a chiller, unless you're room temp is at 60 degrees all the time...

i used ffrozen water bottles for years. you just need to not let the temp stay warm for too long.

How would you guys keep the temps down in a smaller setup, like a Waterfarm? Wouldn't a water bottle do too much? It has been in the mid 80s here, my room is air conditioned to the mid 70s. I assume that is where my water is at. I had a Fruit Auto experience some minor root slime on a test run with my setup.

This is 100% un-true and false! So false that vx420 must be cofused between room temps and water temps!
books are the worst form of info a person can sorse.


Best temps are 66f to 68f

You could setup a sub res and run a chiller to it, then run a pump from that to a wort chiller coil thats in your nute res.
