I'm in a 5x5 tent with a single DWC 5g bucket. I have no way to control lung room temp. I can heat the inside of tent, but I can't cool it.

My water temp sits between 74-77* F usually. I am using a bit of H2O2 in each fill-up, and also using Hydroguard. No signs of root rot or other negatives.

I do have a couple of frozen water bottles I could use, but my concern here is the bottle would practically be sitting on the roots, or vice versa...and wouldn't be too much?

My other option is a water chiller....but they don't appear to be cheap. I would want one that can handle a small expansion from what I have now, and support (2) 7g totes in an RWDC build project. But all I see are either Amazon specials for $300-ish, or pro-level units for over $2000.

Any better options to chill my water down a bit, closer to 65-70 is where I would like to get it...

I'm in a more-than-typically-sealed, 5x5 tent. I have a single 5g DWC going, week 2 post-flip. Added a 20# tank, and an Inkbird controller with photo sensor built in.

I had the sensor sitting on the lip of the netpot top, so it was directly below the plant itself. Then I moved it off to the side, so it was no longer in direct flow of CO2.

Make sense, or should I try to suspend it right above the canopy? I figured the co2 curtain falling down on it would mess with it, making it click on/off repeatedly.

Target is set for 1100-1300, plenty of light as well...next battle is water temp, but using frozen water bottles swapped daily to maintain 67...hope that is good enough.

Anything I can do to improve? After this grow, plan is ditch tent and build a proper room....
