one is a bushy little fucker - only about 4 or 5 inches high but probably has 7 or 8 nodes! the other lost some of its lower leaves - but what is there is looking kind of healthy.

i think they stand a chance - once i get the res temp regulated for a week - i'll probably throw them into 12/12. i was hoping to do that last week but the stunted and bad growth is slowing me down man!

i'll grow in soil eventually. I want to see for myself if i can taste any difference (i don't think you can - all things being equal but i'm often wrong).

honest question - wouldn't the soil get just as hot (if not hotter) than the reservoir under similar conditions?

Top soil would, roots can't reach the bottom of the soil, its 55-65 degrees year round blow the frost line. VV:blsmoke:

i was talking about indoors - growing in soil instead of a hydro system - everything else remaining the same. would there still be root-zone heat issues or would cold water watering prevent this from happening?

or does the frost line hold true indoors also - provided your container is large enough?

I obviously wasn't lying when i said i never tried soil :)

i am thinking the containers would have to be pretty big to not be affected by the heat from the lights - but i know very little about soil growing.

"or Else" Not Here, I Just Moniter The Room Temp. And Water Temp. Like A Baby Bottle At Tap, When Watering. And Yur Done... So I Kinda Feel Its Easier... Less That Can Bite U, And Kill Yur Stuff.

So it is OK for soil to be the same temp as the room - that means the root zone would be 75-80 F ? - that seems high to me but like i said - don't know about it.

But here is what i do know... i installed the chiller yesterday and after a couple of hours here are the stats (remained virtually unchanged for over 12 hours)

NOTE: This is with BOTH HPS and MH lights ON!!!!

outside the box temp: 87 F or so
Inside the box: 75 F (yeah baby!)
The reservoir: 68 F (FUCK yeah baby!)

and that means my pH is between 5.6-5.8 steady, steady... i think i may have fixed this!
