Turbo Stang - NYC Diesel CKS - DWC Hydro

Yeah, my rez temps dropped 4 or 5 degrees by wrapping them. I cut down one of those car windshield reflectors from the dollar store and velcroed it on. I cut a smaller piece for the top of the bucket to make sure no light is getting through my hydroton and help reflect heat away from the rez as well. Water temps now stay between 65 at lights off and 69 during lights on.

Looking good turbostang . You asked about light Hieght . I've had mine as close as 12" without any real issues other than a cal/mag . This is my first grow with led lights and well based on my experience so far the promote very dense growth @ 12-16 inches . I let my plants grow until they started getting tip burn which was around 10 inches @ 18/6 . I see you are using distilled water . You are definitely going to have to supplement with some cal/mag .due to the water and also because of use of the led . I'm getting that the ppm of the water before nutes is like 17 , I use purified water and add cal/mag . Last but not least check out hydroguard for that root zone ! It was recommended to me and it's my first time using it and I like what I see . Feel free to stop by and check out my grow . Hope this was helpful .. Keep up the good work ! I'll be watching :) .

What the other folks are hinting at with the root zone is truth. Get a solid microbial enhancer for your root zone, it's super important in a water based growing medium like hydro/dwc/aero. I use Voodoo Juice by advanced nutrients. It's one of those *essential* additives, for me, at least, because of the intensity it adds to your plants natural root propagation. What happens above ground is a reflection of your plants health below ground. I want my reservoir to look like a giant bowl of spaghetti when I open the lid!
 
100% My first dwc used no bacteria or mycos and i was constantly battling temps and finally got the rot. Then i switched to voodoo and great white and since to hydroguard and another myco product and i would never do without again. My roots are huge and beautiful and the plants reflect that. And i dont have to freak out if my water temps get a little high. No more frozen water bottle juggling.
