I have run dwc without chillers. A product called hydroguard helps the roots if the water gets warm. During summer I would connect it to another bucket outside the tent and have a water pump cycling the water from 1 bucket to the other. The handy thing with that was a could drop ice packs into the external res to cool the water down. You will find you will probably have to do more frequent res changes during summer

I don't use chillers. It would depend on what temperature your water gets to.

Mister vs Dripper (Irrigation Solutions)Basically playing around with automatic irrigation ideas (Soil), the plan is to make an array of misters instead of drippers since they wont wet the soil completely unless i use like 4-5 of them for one pot.
Any additional Suggestions or Kontra against that Idea?Other. General questions

Flush bottom feedI’m using an autopot (bottom feeding) system. They say not to flush because of the salt buildup. But is the “shock” of those salts bad or is it the salts staying in the bottom what is bad?
In that case if you thoroughly flush (say 50+L in 20L pots) would that solve the problem?Feeding. Automatic systems

AutoPot system: moisture of the medium does not stop increasing if turned onI noticed the moisture of the medium (50% coco, 50% light mix, based on a layer of expanded clay) is getting higher and higher with the AutoPot system (now at ~45%). I stopped it for now. I'm wondering, if that is normal? What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions someone?Week 5
