So I changed grow spaces to a more sealed environment, unfortunately this makes heat always a problem. Lost a bunch of seedlings when I transplanted them to bigger netpots, so I had a shitload of pumps and stones laying around.
Solution: Supercharge the one survivor I had left with as much oxygen as she can handle.
I know, more stones isn't always the answer. but after 2 weeks of 8x 12 inch stones being pumped through the 6.5 gallon tank, I beg to differ. I of course, had to develop a way to control the heat. Luckily I had a powerful tower fan I bought off CL for $10 with a small opening. Was able to run a 4 inch duct straight into the top of the DWC lid. Keeps temps below 71 even when air temps directly above lid get to 85. Also adds a little more disturbance and fresh O2.
The plant depicted is Nirvana Wonder Woman. Shes about 40 days old from sprouting, vegging along nicely. She isnt very tall, but is super bushy. Her roots look amazing right now. Shes only been "supercooled" for about a week, but since she has not added much height, but her branches have branched a lot. Nodes not yet alternating.
What do you guys think, am I on to something here with the fan? Is the cooler temps in the root zone only (continuing warm air space) going to bring out the purps and keep it from stretching if/when I add more light and heat?
