Water Culture....garage too cold?

[Paublo]

can i use a aquarium heater in my Water Culter Hydro setup ??? i'm afraid it may get to cold ( nutrient solution ) ... garage is chilly, my grow closet is inclosed and worked great with soil grown plants, but the water seems to need additional heating.... what is the "ideal" temp to mantain....

thanks
:)

yes you can use an aquarium heater, just dont set it at too high of a temp.

Howdy notanovice,

Good mornin ! I've got a question too-is there a way to cool off the temperature of the water-other than keeping the ambient temps in the desired range,within the grow area ?

Have a good one...Torog :D

PS:do ya want to chat this mornin ?

most of the time torog, the water is at room temp unless a heater is used
the water should be at room temps, if the water is too hot, the room would be too hotas long as the roots are kept at optimun temps, the plant should survive
