I never see info on water temp. My very similar setup dwc, I had high water temp for week 4 and the roots were brown. I rinsed off and gave it a 45 min hydrogen Peroxide bath 1/2 tp to half gallon of water. Cleaned container also and started using my frozen qt.water bottle 3 x a day. Got to keep water 60 to 72 degrees. I use SOS and Voodoo juice. Looks great after 2 days. I'm growing think different week 5.

@Wildotter, Started pre-mixing my nutes and placing them in the refrigerator for this drip/reservoir system. Outside conditions are nearly perfect. Can't check water temp at this point due to the setup design, but with almost 100% reservoir turnover per day, that's a constant supply of cool liquid.

@Wildotter, Thanks. The plastic bottle idea will work well in my other DWV bucket style setup, but won't work in the current drip system with the entire reservoir full of roots. I was looking at misters, but will see how your electric chiller works out.

@DuctirKanabys, get a plastic soda bottle 12 oz to 32 oz and fill it up 75% with water and freeze. Pop it in the tank when the temp hit 71 or so and this will bring the temp down. You might have to do this 3-4 times a day, it all depends how hot it is in your area. That is the most important thing you can do. I also got Hydroguard but once u get root rot it never goes away. Unfortunately it came back and I'm still fighting it! I did order this electric chiller which is in the mail also. $70. How it works , not going to pay $250 for a big chiller. I'll let you know. Once winter comes my basement grow tent will cool down. Soil is starting to look good.

Looks like shit, root rot, res too small for that plant, gl with ph swings and water temp issues, that's why you got root rot, Build a better system or get a bigger reservoir, maybe flush your bud next time, way too green to go into my pipe, gonna be a harsh smoke, crackly throat burning black ash bud right there, need 2 week minimum flush even in hydro, buds look airy and premature, maybe drop your light lower, or get a better one, Jarred wet weed with bovedas, thats a big no no, 79% in the jar with a 62% boveda, take that stuff out and dry it more, gonna mold in that jar, or PM, you choose, also gonna turn to a musty dank basement smell jarring that soon, if you jarred early that means you weighed wet, cut that weight in half IMO cause your yeild isn't what you say, its still wet, Good Luck, you're gonna need it.....alot of it

@Bountykiller420, thanks for the Karma. Root rot never took hold after adding Hydrogaurd. Did 1 week flush. Drained the system many times until ppms down to 300 or so. Agree reservoir too small for such a Large plant. Lights were as close as possible without burning which one center bud started to do. Dried for 1 week until stems snapped. Definitely wasn’t wet and agree very green. As mentioned, I would wait longer next time for a more mature plant. Thanks for the Constructive Critizism.

Day 55 watering issue: Grew so fast I lost track of her and she stalled a little bit. I was 90% finished with placement training and she filled in the gaps pretty well. Dried out at least once. Had to add a lot of darkness to deal with the amount of water intake due to my own time constraints. Drinking 1-2 gallons a day again and noticeable daily changes in bud sizes. The biggest issue I have is the rate of intake vs the size of my reservoir size, and my ability to attend to it once or twice a day, every day. This is a 4 gallon bucket, but only holds 2 gallons of liquid below the rockwool which is a few inches deep. Roots fill the rockwool and get a ton of oxygen and water, but the refill rate is approaching 100% reservoir turnover everyday. I've incorporated straight water additions as well as the planned nutrient schedule. Sticking to straight nutes was throwing the ppm way high and the waste was extremely dark. Trying to avoid nutrient burn but don't want too dilute too much. The current plan is for every 1 gallon of nutes I add, the next addition is add 1 gallon of water. Will watch ppm and flush if necessary, but will be flushing weekly anyway. Intake is slower, but that's better for me. Any watering suggestions to get through this flowing phase? Go easy on the medicine!

Also, does anyone else notice a huge humidity spike after lights out? I'm staying in the low 60's with lights on but am noticing up to the 90's when off. I had the dual timer set to turn both off at the same time, but don't want to get too wet in there. Will leave the fan running 100% from now on.
