Would evaporative cooling, aka swamp coolers, be helpful in your area? They need low humidity to be effective.

I've looked into it, not effective I don't think. Its quite humid where I am.

Meanwhile I killed the 400w. Started noticing the plants looking a little stressed. Pretty sure its heat related.

So running the 1kw alone again.

Think the next best step is going to be fan upgrade and I'm keen on looking into dwc.

Hey @ttystikk which of the following buckets would be best for dwc? Having trouble finding a black bucket for some reason lol

The orange one comes with an orange lid.
I was thinking the blue bucket I could just tape aluminium tape to black out the white lid?

Both are 20l

I used the type that most closely resembles the orange one.

Cheers! So is it just white buckets that create issues with the lights?

I used buckets with wide, strong lips so they would sit on tub lids. My netpot bucket lids are of the size that fits right on top.

I see what you mean. I'm just going to go dwc first and then may go rdwc later.

Would light come through those orange plastic pails I posted?

Sweet. I was just thinking of using aluminium tape. I figure it might also help bounce the light heat off them

I'm looking forward to going dwc. Only thing that worries me is that as the plants are attached to the screen, changing nutes could be a pain. Might put drains on them.

Every one of my tubs drains to a central control bucket, hence RDWC.
