Grow Mediums Res temps

[Smokechoke]

What should be the "average" res temp in a Waterfarm drip system for optimal root development and over all plant happiness???

Im not a hydro guy brother.All I know is that anything above 85F can stop plant growth since it channels its energy to cooling off.And certain strains like somewhat cooler temps but in soils its often around 72-78(depending on the strain) degrees F.But Im sure someone who truly knows drip systems will chime in.Soory I couldnt help ya bro.Happy Growning my friend.:group:

Im running hot by 5*f any suggestions on how to keep it cool? I was pondering making icecubes out of ph'd water with some nutes and throwing them in to top off my res every now and again?
Hers my solution to the drip ring not being able to water seedlings
What do you think??

Easiest thing you can do to bring it down is freeze a water bottle and stick it in there. It will bring down your temps and last longer than a couple ice cubes would, I would think.
