Bubble Bucket Startup Questions

Checking to see if a few other members have a similar situation. I want to start a bubble bucket system with 3 gallon buckets and an airpump for each. My issue is it is a larger closet grow with LEDs but this is in the southern USA where getting temps below 78-82 are going to be impossible. A res chiller per bucket isn't going to work and I don't want a central res. Can I sustain a dwc bubbler with temps of that range? Second, I want to keep them under 3 feet and run autoflowers so will a 3gal be a good fit? I was also pondering a medium rubbermaid system for 3 plants total per led panel. I am an experienced soil grower but want to move to a hydro system without water movement in and out of my containers. I want to use the advanced nutrients line if that helps answer the questions.

Those temps do sound high , however since you are going to be useing LED's it may be workable .

I would recommend switching your light cycles around so lights come on at night time and off in the day if you haven't already , will help a little on the heat issue.

This is what I do to try and make sure that my dwc water stays extra cool. When i'm feeding i'll usually fill up 2x 10l buckets of water. This is the water that is going to be going into the dwc bubbler bucket kit's.

Ill add my feed ph the stuff etc, then I will top feed them this as if they where soil EVERYDAY atleast 1L , unless they will start overflowing .
Naturally this water has been kept somewhere cooler in the house. So by adding it to the dwc system will cool the water , giveing them atleast a small break everyday from whatever temps the water may be getting.

Keeping higher levels of water will obv help keep the water cooler for longer.

I would really just try one bucket on a test run tho to be sure. Keep some soil plants going incase goes tits up .

Honestly i've loved the switch over from soil to dwc. i'd go as far to say it's been easier than soil , using canna neuts.
