Ive had an A/C running basically since beginning of June in my living room where the tent is located. I have a 4in vivosun exhaust fan. My temps during the day get to about 77F and at night gets down into the 60’s. The A/C helps greatly.I have been doing living organic soil and I'm thinking about doing one DWC, 13 gallon. I live in southern CA and it gets hot here. With lights on I could hit 89-91 sometimes without AC. I run them at night so those temps don't happen except for a portion of the end of the day like 6pm sometimes.
Are you running this without a chiller? How do you keep the environment cool? I have a tent indoors, AC Infinity exhaust fan with passive intake.
I really want to make it a one pot operation, I am looking at Current Culture 13 gallon Solo but I keep reading about RDWC and how it's better but I don't see any "plug & play" RWDC one pot systems so...and I would just rather spend the money than building my own.Ive had an A/C running basically since beginning of June in my living room where the tent is located.

As for a chiller, no I am not running a chiller. During lights on which for me is 12pm-12am I throw ice bottles into the res system which keeps the temps of the water under 73F at all times. It’s a bit annoying since I have to lift the lid up to change the bottles every few hours, but I do not have the room for a chiller so it’s what I have to do.
eventually a chiller will be next and also I’ll change to a RDWC system for the less hassle of nute changing
so you can't plumb the one you have to drain without having to pull it all out? I don't want to do that. I will research RWDC more.So RDWC is a 2 pot system because you need the one Rez which holds the plant with water and the other Rez which holds all the nutrient water which recirculates into the first rez.
it ends up being easier because you don’t really need to be opening the tent up so much and Rez changing the plant itself.
i have about a 12 gallon DWC style and it works but is annoying always having to Rez change and pull whole plant out and stuff
Just drill a hole in the top and run a tube and funnel. Put a valve on the bottom drain and just test some from there. Shouldn't have to lift the lid except for inspection.You can, I have a drain plug. But to test the ph and add ph down or Up or even add more nute water or regular water you have to lift the lid to do all that. Which once the plant gets bigger and roots start getting heavier it CAN be a pain. If you Have a RDWC you can check all that without touching the plant because you have the 2nd REZ.
What’s a good amount of frozen h20 to keep water chill safely in relation to say 5 gals? Would you or anyone know this ratio?Ive had an A/C running basically since beginning of June in my living room where the tent is located. I have a 4in vivosun exhaust fan.

I want a current culture with one plant but I’m not sure how to buy their stuff since they sell a (4) pot or the solo. I’m thinking I could get the solo, and expand but I’d like to do it their way so I’m inquiring how I can.You can, I have a drain plug.
