Bubbleponics: water temperature question.
- Thread starter Panos
- Start date
Regarding water temperature in a DWC, I know that the optimum water temp is around 65 degrees or so.
Assuming that Hydroguard is being used in the reservoir to prevent root rot, at what temperature does water temperature really become a problem? In other words, when do you start seeing problems with your plants and what kind of problems would you be looking for?
Checking my last grow journal, my ambient air temps averaged in the mid-70's during the day and it would drop to the upper-60's at night. Without using a chiller of some type in my reservoir, I'm expecting the water temps to mirror that. I'm using LED grow lights so they are not throwing off much heat. So I'm wondering if I'll be able to do a complete DWC grow knowing that my water temps will be a bit on the high side.

Hey John, I went back and re-read something on GWE, and Nebula says this:
"I personally have found hydroponic plants tend to grow the fastest when the temperature is between 73-80°F, with 75°F being a good temperature to aim for. However, with warmer temps make sure you're using a beneficial bacteria supplement to prevent root rot!"
Sounds like you are in the zone!
