Hi

I have a nice closet set-up, but I could use some advice on ways to keep my hydro reservoir temps in check.

I am currently keeping the room temp between 73F - 79F with an office fan.

Any tricks of the trade would be great
Thanks:leaf:
 
at that temp your res is fine for ebb @ flow, but wrapping your res in reflective insulation it will drop a couple of degrees
 
try freezing some 16 oz soda bottles filled with water that will drop temps but its a chore to keep up with
 
@Pilgrim
Thanks a lot bra bra, I have been told that mold can grow above 72F so I was worried. I also had some mold issues, which caused me to freak out and question my reservoir temps.
But if you say its golden it should be I guess. I will cover it with reflective ducktape.

@Fabfun

Thanks bra I bought some camping ice packs and I have been rotating them into the water. I just wasn't sure if this would cause shock to the roots if they glide across ice cold temps?
 
i used the bottles and put them in empty net pot hole with a string to keep away from roots
sometimes we just got to rig something up

hahaha Rigging is what we do best
good look I will try this out and see if I can save these ladies, if not I will know better next time and I am ordering some Auto Beans so it will be mine from the start.
No worries about if it came from the mother of the clones
 
i seriously dropped my high temps with this simple fix

I am pretty sure I got root rot and the little girls have locked up, but all of this advice will help me the next time.
I am gonna try one last time with this Hydro-Setup and then I am going back to soil.

Thanks Fabfun you have been helpful.
 
Have converted to soil and had super great results… 2 successful runs with old mother nature and a lot of super funk
try hydro/aero ponics later on in my life I guess...
