Is everything wrapped up? Could radiant heat be the culprit, beating on your pipes and buckets?
Not to be Capt.Obvious but did you calibrate the thermometers in the same water at first to see how close they measure to each other?
It would be highly unlikely to have the system temp rise in the middle of the system but then decrease again at the last module....especially given there is nothing to cool down the solution from the mid onto the last modules.
Ur epi will likely be lower because of the coil but other than that the solution will equalize once it homoginizes. The solution acts more as one mass rather than multiple individual volumes of water.
Only in the event you added in a warmer or cooler mass of water might you experience dif temps in mods as the solution slowly mixes and achieves equilibrium.
Try using the same therm to take all ur readings to ensure continuity. Feel free to hit us up if the inconsistencies persist and we'll help u trouble shoot.
That seems pretty standard temperature deviation when I was using a cooling coil. It all comes down to the amount of lighting that you use. The whole UC system acts like a radiator and will absorb the heat in the grow room.
Try to wrap the grow centers and pvc piping with reflectix. That will help.
so glad I'm not dealing with the headaches of UC growing anymore...
best of luck
thanks for the reminder
What we found was best was to get rid of all of the poly hose, and run PVC, just use a union that has a disconnect. We have zero flow issues now, the poly hose has been the biggest challenge. Also watch for hydroton getting stuck in the inline filter.
