Cooling buckets down

[Vaporeyes]

Anyone got any ideas other than frozen bottles? Ive got 4 buckets in the upper 70s and i cant keep up with the frozen bottle changes needed.......

Have you tried putting a fan on them?

Putting a little space between your floor and the buckets (some type of spacers) will allow air-flow to reach the bottoms.

Decent size floor fan pointed towards the bottom.

What's your average room temp?

when I mix up my nute,ph water for my tub I make extra gallons and put them in the fridge... Then I pull that amount out of the rez in the morning, add the cool stuff and put the warm stuff back in the fridge. I just keep swapping them out. Adding bottles on top of that should help!

Youve got all great advice so far!!

Another idea is to insulate it with towels...will help it maintain a temp for longer and keep more light out. You can duct tape towels to each side except that of the fan, and on the top till the canopy is large enough to shade the entire top
