Oh no!

I made a chiller out of a water cooler. Took the guts out of the tank to put a 15' coil of 3/8" tubing that runs off a small fountain pump in my tub to circulate the nutes up and back. Worked so well that I had to put a timer on the cooler so 15min on 45 off. Need to cover the exposed tubing to block light or algae grows inside it. The cooler tank is filled with auto anti-freeze for better heat transfer and cut evaporation.

Mosquito screening hot-glued over the pump intake to keep roots out. The pump runs 24/7

It could easily chill a larger rez or at least a couple of those tubs that hold 50L each.

Is that a big ol CO2 bottle you got over there? Piped into a bottle?

So, between the shock tx, new net pot and change in nutrient back to fng: Houston, we have lift-off! Thanks gents! One thing I noticed: when I got my bucket temp down to 63 my plant did NOT like it. Limped out. So I try to keep it 70. Until more is revealed.

65 - 68F was where I kept mine. Wrapped the tub in white wall insulation held on with baling wire. Very ghetto.
