What also really helps with Temps in DWC or RDWC is placing the buckets directly on a tile or concrete floor. Can't beat the heat transfer. 68 to 70 consistently. Love the videos!

Old Mini Bar fridges can be modified into chillers!. 2 holes 1 water pump and a roll of tubing.. A large old fridge could be setup to chill a bunch of systems. Find older 1's for cheap even free online ready for some mod's. Works great, you get a chiller and grow room snack bar in 1 ;). Heaps of DIY info online about them.

i put my bucket in a storage container half full with water and I threw small bottles of water in the bigger container. it started out to keep the ice away from the roots, but it also gives a larger thermal mass without needing a larger reservoir of nutrients.

Solid video. Just validated a few things that I’m planning on changing up for my next run.

Good video man . The cooling of the water is whats keeping me from get my DWC going I’ll probably wait till winter because I’m a tight ass don’t wanna spend the money lol but I see a grower using a fish tank cooler can’t remember the channel but it work good I think 16 gal a hour was what it do for around 130 not bad and one grow you’d pay for it . Happy growing and happy Birthdays man !!

"TRUST ME!" Reverse your exhaust system... Place your exhaust fan near your AC vent. Run your ducting through the bottom of your tent. Place your pump directly in front of the ducting, then you're going to place as much of the tubing into the duct, including the air manifold if possible. The core problem isn't room temperature per say, the main problem is that the majority of the hot air that's heating up the water is coming from the air pump. Focus 100% on cooling your "AIR MANIFOLD" & the tubing at the beginning of the air manifold. I literally kept my water temperature at optimal with this method. The only drawback is based around the location of your grow being that that area would have to be running the AC 24/7!

wrap a towel around your dwc, make it wet and let a fan blow air on it.

I've got an RDWC system, and agree temps of the nutrients has always been an issue for my system. One thing that works for me cause I'm very small... I went out and bought a refrigerated cooler plumbed in as my reservoir, which I plug in and it helps to maintain the temp of the nutrients. Doesn't make a huge difference, but I figure it's a problem that can have many solutions, which when taken in combination, can overcome the problem. I've had very good results with this approach.

put salt in the water bottle and freeze it down to -4 degrees !

Haven't been getting notifications. I got some videos to watch 😂. Good video

Great show my friend! Good information

Thanks for the info

I love my water chillers . Truth is I only use them in flower in summer. Grab huge pond pump and pond style air stones / diffusers.

Like your videos I had to subscribe today!

Happy birthday 🎈🎉

Hvac insulation on the bucket and pipes works great for low temp problems in the winter time

YALL SLEEPING ON THE PUMP IN THE MINI FRIDGE LOL.... My go to!!!!!

Thanks great information

Nice 1 bro some great info as alwayz,,,growerz peace luv an respect brother 💚🌱🌱💚🙏🏻🇬🇧✌🏼☯️an happy growing 🌬💨💭💭

Running 1-5 gallon bucket and trying to grow in a closet in the Texas summer. Water temps were waaay too high. Got a water chiller from Walmart for $110.00. It's basically a small aquarium chiller. Works great. Unfortunately, I still can't get my seedlings in rockwool to take off even after 2 weeks. My flower is struggling and it's my 1st grow, so we'll see what happens.

You can usually get the cheap auto shades with foam on one side and mylar on the other at the dollar store for a couple of bucks. You can wrap a bucket in that pretty cheaply.

I figured out why my comments weren't being posted!! Buy a used water cooler off market place ( $15- $35 ), one that you would normally put a 5 gal jug in the top. Now tear it apart so that you are left with the compressor and the cooling coil. Some of the cooling coils are coated in a protective plastic and some are not. If the one you have doesn't have a protective coating on it just wrap a plastic bag around the coil so you don't get any oxidation in your nutrients. Place the coil directly into your nutrient reservoir. Buy a device that will monitor your water temp. I use the ITC-308 ($50). Plug the compressor into the cooling plug on the device and set your water temps. I set my water temp at 67 deg and set the turn on temp at +2 deg (69).

You can also put your air pump near the cool air intake or outside the tent to suck in and pump cool air into your rez

I been running a heater and an ac unit and for some reason the combination of the two cause humidity to rise if you have that issue

What about taking a small aluminum radiator brand new that was never used. Tie it into your circulation line then mount a fan on it to cool the water.

I’m about to run aeroponics so this is just in time

Love all the information on your channel growmie

Run a small pump on a timer in the Resivour. Run thick black tubing to Window AC Connect to coiled copper tubing , 24". Hang coil in front of AC vent. With black tubing going back. Set room temp to 75*f

Why did the box fan make your house feel cooler? Evaporative cooling and vapor pressure probs

I use 1" + thick 8" x 35" x 17" Styrofoam Fish Shipping containers. I rarely notice significant High temperatures even on the hottest days. My growing method is the passive Kratky system. This is the most Affordable hydroponics at 100% FREE to as high as $6 each for the Styrofoam boxes.

I was thinking about building water chiller with an old cooler coiling a line thru ice water like a reverse water heater

in nature the plants dont have any trouble with 80-90 fahrenheit. i just use kratky which use air roots that are happy with more heat

Is temperature a big problem with aeroponic systems?

I use ice probe chillers on my 5gal buckets...they help

What's the fastest cure for a sick plant in dwc

What do we do if we are in a mid grow and its time to move house's, or we are in a mid grow and we get a 12-24 hour black out due to storms or something? i guess for storms your could use a generator but do you have any idea's for moving house's?

Hello I have a question when using tap water do I let the tap water sit 24 hours then add my nutrients and cal meg and hydroguard then adjust my ph water

how about using a radiator inline with some fans?

Have to change my water bottles twice a light cycle to remain between 68-71. It’s a pain in the ass tbh. I haven’t had any issues with it. Just have to be ontop of it 🤙

Dead winter turn off heat in open closet or open space “ autos only though “

I tried a frozen water bottle and it was melted back to water in under 30 mins. :(

I just let my x ol lady in the grow..everything drops 10 degrees instantly...trick is not letting her hang around.....Thanks for your clips.

I just bought a 4 bucket dwc with drip rings by Vivosun. I haven't set it up yet. I'm wondering how or if it is possible to convert it to a rdwc. Any thoughts? Great videos and info!

Ok I'm running DWC 5 gallon res (STYROFOAM) under a 315 w LEC built in ballast. 1. Add ice to nutrient solution after mixing but before final pH balance.or brake it down to 5 milk jugs and put them in the fridge for a bit . These 2 things will ensure you start off with optimum temp solution. 2. This is most important when controlling and maintaining the air temperature coning I threw your pump ..you gotta have your pumps in front of a fan and best if that fan is ducted to an AC 3.this is RARE tip that maintain temp in your res for long periods of time like this for me eliminates my need for a chiller I will only have to chill my solution at the start of each res change ...... STYROFOAM STYROFOAM STYROFOAM STYROFOAM STYROFOAM STYROFOAM ICE CHEST lined with a industrial strength black garbage bag It is the absolute best insulator and the black garbage bag allows 0.00% of light penetration to the roots ... 4 . enjoy your smoke and a little bit less stress growing .... But I can't stress enough about the container bein STYROFOAM

I’ve tried all the hacks, the only thing that’s worked for me was getting a chiller, at 1/10hp its 70w but rn I’m just in a 2x4 tent with a 3 plant setup so the small one was cool.

Easy fix for you. Put a water hose, into your reservoir at bottom, feed the hose outside the tent or outside. As water heats, the hose will cool it down, too cold, pull the hose in, too warm, release the kraken

I just built a peltier cooler for a total of 15 bucks, great for 1 or 2 buckets but not practical for rdwc.

HELP...! How can it be that the display of my chiller (new) shows 15°C but the reservoir in the 2x4 tent is 28°C ...! Without a chiller its 24° max, so i'm confused ... Inside the tent runs a 300w led with max temp of 29°C at the canopy... How is that possible...?!?😢

Happy birthday good sir and thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience 🙌🎊🎉

I run my time 7pm to 12PM and then 7pm to 7AM helps control the heat

Where'd you get a water chiller for 170 that works?

Im from florida too brody lol

New shirts available on the site 😁 shopdusa.com/products/df-leaf-orange

Chest freezer inkbird and a water pump.

so the room temperature can be 68 degrees fahrenheit is that too cold for the plants?

I put a portable ac directly in the tent and set it at 62. My temp never goes above 72 and that's only when the lights are full blast. Average temp is 67.

Where the dro grows at bro

Use a huge pipe coil and bury it deep in cold dirt. Lotta work but it should work.

Black buckets... Black as we know attract heat, I started using home depot orange and lowes blue even white buckets never had an issue with light leaks. Another tip like you said making ur reservior larger. If you bought pre made dwc buckets that have the grommet elbow and usually blue tinted tube as a water level gauge. Connecting one bucket to another will double your rez size now u won't have the ease of turning one sideways to drain simply place ur plant I'm and empty clean bucket while u drain and clean for your rez change or simply disconnect If you have the ability to just let them drain where they are. You can also place a small pump in the extra bucket and pump it out then refill in the same bucket so u dont even need to mess with the bucket ur plant is in. Yes you will have about an inch or so left on the bottom don't worry it won't harm anything if u are worried use a shopvac for that last 1/2-1 gallon.

I was wondering why u hadn't been uploading now I realize u have been uploading but I wasn't getting my notifications

Bro I been getting screwed, I have notifications on but I just realized it's a bunch of videos I didn't get the notification for

I run a line off my basement fridge's water dispenser with a T line

Your water temp should be about 10° cooler than the ambient room temperature. 😎

Instead of using a water chiller pump, can I use a fish heater tank in the resivour?

🎉🎂🥳🎈

The reason you must have your nutes at 65 to 70 degrees is because if your nutes go higher than 70 is to prevent root rot, and no matter how good your pump is, if your nutes go higher than 70 degrees you will get root rot. I use 5 gallon igloo water coolers for the plants, and a big 27 gallon igloo ice chest for the reservoir , and use a small old fridge as a chiller and if needed ,frozen water bottles in the reservoir to control temps to grow outdoors during summer. Also, I use big air stones in each planter, and 2 in the reservoir

5 PM to 5AM 👍

Aquarium coolers on Ali like $150

No one else gonna call out steph curry moonlighting. We know who you are 🧐

Please respond back

Deep water culture...Put your air pump in a mini fridge. Or multiple buckets us a commercial air pump in a mini fridge. You'd be surprised!.

200 dollars water chiller Amazon

Complete common sense if you can’t figure out these basics stop trying to grow

Hey bro, reddit?

If running separate DWC buckets, the best way to keep the temps in the green zone is invest in insulated buckets, or use bucket jackets, and install micro chiller probes, such as Nova Tech Coolworks Ice Probe and temp controllers. Typically sold by aquarium suppliers. I use one in my aeroponic cloner, works amazing! For RDWC it's no question, a minimum 1/13 HP aquarium chiller, 1/10 is the best way to go. Invest in quality chiller brands, stay away from the cheap chinese chillers, especially the electric ones. 🧊
