hello,
i am running a hydro setup and my current water temp is 77 degrees. i know this is high and i know about chillers. but what can i do if chillers are not an option? i have a built in resevoir on my table so i have no way to chill it. will aerating the water help? any advice will be appreciated

It sounds pretty good to me, but i'm not sure about hydro grows, isnt 77 probably damn close to your room temp?

i hear water after 73 degrees grows pithium (root rot) and ideal water temp should be 68ish. is this not correct information?

put a fan on the res,yes ideal is about 65 68 but mine get up to about 4 degrees under room temp have window a/c on 65 ive not had any root rot. my grow room has gotten up to 85 when it was 106 outside i froze gatorade bottle and lowered it down slowly make sure your air pump if you have one is in a cool place not in light of an hid trying for cool air in your pumps hose.my res temp this am is 68 and after about 8 hrs of alot of light its about 75 thats when i add the bottle for just a few min.watching the temp gauge my res has about a 10 deg swing lights on and off im doing 8 dwc and they all look great GL HOPE THIS HELPS.
