I heard it's between 65 and 70 maybe 72 for optimum growth, then again I heard 65 is too cool and that 68- 72 is the best. Roots love cool water not ice water is what I'm getting. I'm still a rookie so I have no idea lol
Curing humidity range?

I dont run DWC, I prefer my drain to waste systems because I can refresh everything by simply top feeding

I never seen a drain and flood system in person. Have you ever tried any other grow methods that made you decide on drain and flood. How are your grows compared to the other methods. TIA

Drain too waste is not flood and drain bro these are 2 different setups.
I rock a Drain too waste setup using rockwool grow cubes and hydroton inside of plastic buckets atm and i love the end quality!

I use 100 percent perlite hempy buckets , aka Dutch buckets. I prefer them because of how incredibly simple they are. if your unfamiliar with hempys there is a thread "world of hempy" it has everything you need. no pumps or air stones. just requires daily attention, im currently building automatic feeding with a sub pump to make it even simpler.
you can build a hempy bucket out of anything that holds water and is opaque. heres my simple build with catch bins that were found for free on the side of the road (plastic dresser drawers)

Thanks for the 411. I started with dwc now I'm building an rdwc system. So many ways to grow some good dank , I love it.

yep its the same concept as DWC its just we have perlite/hydroton to hold roots in place, without refreshing daily we would need an air stone to maintain dissolved oxygen levels

That's an awesome set up, bro. The ladies are looking yummy. All I got is a 2x3x5 tent for now,I don't need too many girls to look after right now but once I get some good grows under my belt I want to upgrade.

I'm liking the rockwool to, I got two black buckets with 10 inch net pots( too big?) That I'm going to wrap in some reflextic to hopefully keep temps down, I plan on adding an 10 gallon res with a 5 gallon control bucket, hopefully that will sort me out with temps, bit I have a little chiller on the way just in case

60% Humidity when drying and curing, thats also the humidity you constantly want in your burped jars, i suggest jar put a Thermometer Hygrometer in each your Jar(s) after you burped them and cured the buds you can monitor the humidity in the jars, there relatively inexpensive, well worth the investment.

perlite doesn't hold any water , its superheated volcanic rocks and they are like tiny pebbles. they are totally void of any nutrients and are just the "stuff" that holds the roots down in the bucket
