Just got a 5gal res on the floor in the closet. Temp of water 62*, got a heat pad and wondering the benifits. Plants don't look that bad but would a 68* be better?
I hate you. I have my chiller set to 61 deg F. The colder the better (to a point). I know fellow growers that use 58 deg F.
Ok, your not the only one. Would you also know if seven ok plants drinking 2-3 liters a day, is normal. New to the big res, were in small individual res's before. Didn't notice nute consumption then. Surprised by the 58*.
My 6 in bloom go through over a gallon a day easy. Read this: http://www.simplyhydro.com/nutrient_temp.htm
