    Cooling my DWC buckets

    I cant believe this works so well.I run DWC in 3 gal
    buckets all seperate systems and have dealt with temps
    really too high (mid 70 s) I took a starter tray from the nursery
    and placed 2 buckets in each.Filled trays with H20
    and directed a fan to blow over the water. Then I moved
    my pump outside the closet.Im down to 63 deg. in my solution
    Ill have to rase it mayby whichmeans my dangling root zone is
    probably a nice blustery 65 or so.That should help keep
    the nasties away.:hippy:[attachment=o229586]
    thats just above the 60 mark at last check.

    Cooling my DWC buckets

    It hasnt raised any with the addition of the hole I cut in the opposite
    wall.The fan blows over the water acrossthe space and righyt out
    the other side.It took a little to light proof my closet again but it really forced me to finally vent my growspace properly.My solution temp did eventually
    climb to 66 but thats still 6 deg.better than before not bad for
    a redneck attempt though.Pulling the pump out of the closet had no affect
    on the temp at all.:hippy:
