Can't just dive in man. Read up!Water Temps.
In hydroponics it is important to keep the water at a steady temperature. Especially in Deep Water Culture (DWC or Bubble Ponics).
As water becomes warmer it loses its ability to hold dissolved oxygen. A lack of oxygen slows growth and encourages “Bad” micro organisms to grow, the end result is a mass of slimy brown roots.
I have found that ideal water temps are between 16c to 19c (61F – 66F )
It is also important in the winter months to keep the water temps above 15c (59F) as low water temps can shock the roots and stunt growth.
Keep your Rez Cool
Here are a few ways to keep those temps down.
Most effective is a Water Cooler. These cost $$$ but will do the best job.
Ice Packs, You can place ICE packs in the Rez every day, this works okay.
Air movement. Placing a Fan to blow air across the top of the water can cool it by as much as 10C ß I have never tried this method but have been told it works.
