And I hate to piggyback herbie's posts, but not only soil, but an automatic-drip system with EXTRA perlite would be good since you can't get there often enough to water properly.

I still vote for an air conditioner and conversion to a vertical NFT that air-equilibrates constantly...
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Water temp i got an Ebb and Flow system and the water i am using is 80-95 deg. i no this is bad for oxygen levels but i dont know a way to cool it off cheaply. i have access to it garunteed once a week so is there a cheap cooling method that i dont have to upkeep???
