man putting my res and controller in a separate room from the lights has really made a big difference, temps are in the mid to high 60's and have seen a great increase in pearly white roots! i would also suggest ether raising the buckets or lowering the controller for full bucket drainage this has seemed to have a great impact on the system IMHO, i havent seen this much roots in the lower buckets and im only on week one of flower and about week 2 since transplanting into the system.

well I went and did it, I turned my ebb monster controller into a rdwc controller., dunno how its gonna turn out but I wasn't able to do it like I wanted, I was just gonna pull water from the end igloo and pump back to the main res but gravity couldn't keep up with the pump and it ended up emptying the cooler that the pump is in but not the other cooler connected to the controller. So I just fully drain every 2 hours to mix and cool the water using the controller as it was meant with the drain pump in the controller bucket.

a check valve? I had thought about using that some way (I have a 3/4 inch CAP recommended by hellraizer) but I wasn't seeing how it would help, I need to pump out of both cooler and back into one 3/4 inch line, unless I tie the coolers together at the drain and put a bucket between them to run back to the main res, this is all confusing and all I really wanna do is grow some really kickass weed but I've been failing lately . I think maybe this time will work out ok, only time will tell.

h202 is expensive whereas I can get a lifetime of chlorine in one bottle of hot tub shock...wow, just went and picked up a gallon of H202 and it was $50, geez! Also discovered that my local supplier is WAY cheaper if you buy online and has FREE shipping? WTF? The 6" Vortex was $27 cheaper on their website and you get a free gift (good ones too) if you spend over $200, like you ever get out of the hydro store for under 2 bills, right!Good to know this stuff for the future but for now I feel violated! HA! Gotta be someplace cheaper for H202, cant buy that online

fidy bux a gallon? must be 32 percent, I get 29 percent for like half that price and yeah its funny if you go into our local corporate hydro store you end up paying more for a product or less depending on what it is, I went in once and bought an atomist, cost me 240 plus tax when it stated online they were a little over 200, I questioned this and the employee told me that its actually a different company that has the online part of it but you couldn't tell by looking at the page, I needed the item so I let them gouge me but wasn't happy about it, haven't been back to that place since, my middle name is boycott.

I run a sterile res in flower, in veg I'll add some great white but I may even go sterile there too next time. I run my flower water temp at like 62 F myself, I'm using a monster ebb controller and two igloo coolers in a rdwc kinda set up, I drain the coolers every two hours back to the main res for 15 minutes, in the two hours my water sits in the coolers it gains like 2 degrees, my temp is never over 65. Its all about DO the water can retain, cooler water can retain more DO. Its also about bad things that grow at a little over 70 degrees, this is why you use h2o2 if you can't control water temps.

I used to use H202 and bleach the 202 never really worked well and the bleach was better but if you miss a dose your res was wide open to
bactiria, so now I use teas to combat bactiria.

bleach def kills but I dunno man, it just seems so .......something...... I can't even think of a word....
You have a chiller, why worry about teas or h2o2 or bacteria at all?
