flowering bubble bucket temp?

wonder6977 · Sep 9, 2019

So I'm going to be having a 20 x 15 flowering room, running 4, 600 watt hps with bubble buckets and probably co2. my question is will the lights generate too much heat in a 20 x 15 for bubble buckets without a chiller? yes obviously I'll have ventilation on the hoods but I don't know if that will be enough.

Thanks in advance!

My understanding of co2 is sealed room and high temps like 90f.Hard to run just dwc,youll need rdwc and big rez

thanks for the input bro. I just stopped down at my local grow shop and they're telling me I'd need to run a chiller and maybe insulate the buckets. I'd be better off doing an Ebb and Grow system with the res outside the grow area I think.

I have found the closest method that gives results like RDWC in flower is 1/4" rockwool cubes in pots with a recirculating top feed. Water once or twice a day. Rockwool is a buffer against root rot like soil. I run mine at 85F. You don't need a chiller. Now in veg, RDWC will blow anything out of the water.

Whats going to heat the water more is your air stones.
