Hey I'm guessing its nearly impossible at three weeks into flowering to separate these tangled roots to transplant them into a bigger dwc resivour? I'm having trouble keeping my temps down under a 1000w HPS light.. My plants are about 80f and my water temps get up to around 84 sometimes.. Any suggestions on how to keep res temps down? Right now I drop PH adjusted ice cubes in there but it doesn't even really drop the temps..any suggestions? I have 3 fems in there that are begging for lower res temps!

[QUOTE="SICC";2071725]you posted in the AeroGarden thread, there a sub forum for you guys and us . . . .[/QUOTE]

Ha sorry I guess it would help if I mentioned its in an aerogarden now.. My roots are so crowded all 3 plants are rooted together. I built a aeroponic system to filthy fletch's spec for my next alaskan ice grow.

One other thing I thought about doing is running a rubbermaid dwc/ aeroponic system with a cutout on top for the top half of the aerogarden?

What do you guys think? It would basically replace the 1 gal res with an 18 gal res. The orig AG pump wouldn't work anymore but I could buy a pump and build a pvc setup with misters around the root system. It would be a lot easier to keep temps down in that with the old frozen water jug method.
