well question to the Hydro gurus :) well am gona be attempting a DWC but it will be out side, al of course cover the container with black polythene and duck tape to stop any light, to stop algae and heat but i have a blacked out container out in the green house and even tho i think the Ghouse is well vented its always a few degrees hotter than the outside, and that means a hot DWC res. i haven't had any issues with bacteria but since al be growing Mj this time i really don't wanna fuck up. are there any ways to keep the solution cool or does it not matter, what temps (hot) are really bad for roots ?

This might sound crazy, but you could put your res in a hole in the ground. IDK how much cooler that would make it, but it is cooler.

wow! seriously? that seems crazy to me. Around here the humidity is nasty in the summer, so in the shade you're still sweating like mad.

I really wonder when they will start regulating these bikes more. They are getting to a point of insanity. I don't care, but I'm just guessing it will be soon.
