Had some major root issues due to water temps with the buckets being elevated up off the floor. Almost lost my whole garden but have it back on the rails now and looking strong as ever but basically cost me 2 harvests.I demand an update!
Never tried 100% perlite but I do love the stuff for cloning. Be good to hear your thoughts on it after a run or two. I suspect it will be a winner.Had some major root issues due to water temps with the buckets being elevated up off the floor.

Essentially went to a Bato bucket type drain in my 5 gallon buckets with 100% Perlite as a media.
Moved this batch into flower last night:

Were your buckets a foot or more off the ground?
No, but the cooling came from the evaporative effect of the waterfalls. The concrete floor reached 80F in the daytime because it absorbed radiant heat from the lights and the air.
That's an interesting observation might check that out...
The one and only.
Hey brother, how did this cbd adventure go for you?
Looking good! Running vert from now on myself. Hps above w/ led on the sides.OneHitDone reporting: Garden is back on point and bursting at the seems!
The plants are sooo much more fragrant with their roots in the Perlite than in water. You won't hear me argue dwc or any other water based system being superior for cannabis from here out!
These girls are in week 2

By raising the buckets were you trying to raise or lower the water temp? Right now my DWC is in the basement and the temp stays consistently at 67 F. I did wrap it in foil tape so that is reflecting a good amount of heat.Had some major root issues due to water temps with the buckets being elevated up off the floor.
