haha. plug the intake of a pump and i'll have an electrical fire. :) while it's self cooling (to the pump) the heat generated does go somewhere - ie: into the water...it's a matter of how much it generates. i'm guessing this tiny pump will not be enough to change anything and i'll have to go...

Approximately 2 hours later ( yeah, not a lot of time ) - no change in res temp. So I dumped a little submersible pump in the tote. Everyone says submersible pumps tend to heat up the res when growing in a warm climate, so I'm going to test putting one in to combat cold climate. Will check in a...

for today, i put my tubs up on 2020 (mm) aluminum rails to get them ~3/4" off the ground. will check res temps in a few hours and compare.

That's the goal. Just because being low is bad for me and the wife's back (no can do on getting on knees at all). But maybe until I can build a proper shelf i need to find some stuff to just prop the tubs I have up off the ground a little...

yeah, i'll have a number of options, just wondering if 60F demands those options. the recirculating pumps I have are in-res so hopefully that will bump up a degree or two. getting the tubs off the direct ground and on spacers will proabably help as well. i thought cold (at least for lettuce) was...

Still planning a first grow, but in the meantime I'm doing lettuce in DWC style tubs. 3 weeks in and I'm seeing slow growth and another thread popped up about res temps, and finally it's one about maybe not being warm ENOUGH instead of the constant opposite of having way too hot. My 8g tubs are...

Forgive my noobness, but can you go into a little more detail of your setup (or do you have another thread that has it)? I saw on page 1 what looks like a cloning box, but i'm truly trying to understand your green lid bucket situation. Ebb and flow? based on the tray the buckets are on, you'd...

"For work" - yeah, I'm a techie, so I sit by the laptop all day pounding soda because I'm an addict to it. I'm only 2 weeks into hydro lettuce, so we'll see if I'll be a cultivation guru or not. So far, I have some 18 rockwool cubes with sprouts, and another ~25 or so heads that were seeded on...

Hi Everyone! I figured after lurking the grow journals that I'd pop in an start my introduction thread. My wife and I are looking to not only reduce our medicinal use costs, but help find the right strains to help her out. My wife is much more of a connoisseur than myself, I just like to have a...
