Hi Skybound.ideal water temps are 66-68f you can get away with a little warmer temps if you use a product such as Zone. i recommend Zone cause i have used it and had very good success with it. i would keep using the frozen bottles and add Zone to the res.
Is a heat exchanger out of your budget? If it's kosher, I could share a few links of some products that you can build your own? I'm all about DIY if you haven't noticed. Let me know if I can help, or maybe I'll just build my own as soon as I get some new fans to repurpose my PC fans from my box, and post another DIY in the proper forum?
Girls look very good. Question, does it matter when topping, LST, super crop or other types of redirecting occur? I was under the impression that this was all done during veg? Can those exercises be done in flower too?
i had a problem with my res getting to warm and caused me problems for a couple of grows, but i sat their thinking about it then i thought about cars sitting in the sun, the sun is heating the car up so park it in the shade and its cool when you get in, so all i did was cut up some cardboard so it kept the res in the shade, i have about an inch gap between the top of the res and the cardboard, that solved my problem and not suffered since but im using hid's, so not sure if that would work the same for you,
but it wouldnt cost you anything to try, not sure what temps the light is giving you on the res but having it shaded would prevent any heat from the light warming it up, also if the ground its on is quite warm then just raise the res off the ground just a tiny bit with some card under each corner or small piece of wood, that will allow are to flow under and may help with the temps,
also check the air pump is getting good cool air as well, cant remember if your using co2 but if you are then make sure the air pump is not picking up the co2 instead of o2,
im sure you will get it sorted, im just trying to think of some ideas that wont cost you a penny, but im not sure on leds and how much heat they put off but i know when my res is in the light then the temps creep up slowly over the day, so as soon as it used cardboard to keep it in the shade then the temps stayed stable,
also if you could sort or used card to create a sort of shelf an inch above the res, sort of so the res is in its own space and the plant is growing above, so sort of boxing the res off just with a piece of flat card, could even use mylar or paint it white to reflect the light back up into the plant, but if you could use card and sort of seal off the res then the heat would have to remain above the card so anything below the card should be cooler as its in total darkness or as near to as possible,
it would just mean probably cutting 2 or 3 pieces of card and fitting them over the res and cutting slots so the stems of the plants could fit through then you could tape it up and raise it so its not actually sitting on top of the res, it just might save you some cash and might mean you dont need to keep using ice,
i was amazed how effective it was, it solved my problem strait away, i could seal off the area with the res in but just having it in the shade is doing the job, but if i just had a big res then id make something big enough that fitted wall to wall and front to back so the whole res is sort of in its own space thats totally dark, it wouldnt need anything special just cardboard will do,
also is your res totally dark inside, no light can leak into where the roots are can it,
im sure you will have it sorted,
I'm going to put the girls into the dark for 24 hours before I turn the lights on to 12/12 on this grow though. Just to see.
Im curious about this. Why do you put them into the dark for 24 hours?
They look Fan'F$%^ING'Tastic!!!! Great journal so far. +REPs
