higher air temps but COOOL water temps? (performance) - Indoor Grows - Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hey guys,

Im wondering if cooler water temps in a rdwc setup would allow for higher air temps?

For example, summer is about to hit cali and temps easily go into 85+ range. Im not trying to make my electricity bill crazy with ac but I would like a decent grow.

Currently ive been rockwool only and have been successful however, that was in winter/cooler days.

If I switch to my rdwc setup with a chiller controlling water temps will I need to pay a lot of attention to air temps compared to a rockwool only grow?

Succinctly:
If air temps are high, will I be successful with a rockwool only grow vs a rdwc grow with controlled water temp.

OR is it the same performance?

What do you think?

thanks
