Will painting the tops of my net pots white or coating with aluminum tape reduce the temperature inside the buckets? Thanks!

Hello.. Hope you are well.. It mite in the first few wks as ur plants do not yet produce a canopy to shade ur resivour..pei always cover my tank with sumthin reflective like black out and also try to keep as much light off my res tank.. This will obviously help.. But by how much depends on ur individual rooms parameters.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

Hey there Hoodoo, nothing you can really do like that except maybe knock a few points off a single degree or so, better would be white pots but it will be much the same story. Good news is chillers work, it's one of those you'll always be using so it's money well spent . Hope this helps ! 🚀

A freezer pack in the buckets will. Best system is rdwc with a chiller keeping your water cool. I just don't like all the work involved with dwc or rdwc. Cool water is essential for healthy roots and slime free buckets and reservoirs. With a chiller you can eliminate all but your ferts. Expensive root enzymes a thing of the past. I went back to growing in straight sunshine mix with a one part veg nute, one part flowering with massive bud formulation. That's all I use...big plants big buds and great taste.

Salut le jardinier ! laisse de l'aluminium en plain soleil et dis moi si il chauffe ou si il dissipe la chaleur . la couleur blanches est connue pour réfléchir la lumière quand les couleurs sombres retiennent la chaleur et c'est pour ca qu'en été on nous vend plus de vêtements blanc que de noir. bonne chance bella ciao

Hi! Yes at least in theory when the light/heat is reflected from the paint or tape surface then it should not heat the bucket and the water. How much, I don't know maybe few degrees
