First a quick idea how I grow....
I grow in turface..... using jacks (or petes) with calcium nitrate...
I top feed hourly a bout 5 minutes on.....55 off... using gravity distribution....
Works great..... thats about enough info for my question....
Im well aware that growing in a dwc environment requires some pretty chilly water because oxygen dissovles better in colder water....
In my case I dont think thats important....
I think the plants get plenty of oxygen because they are in turface....
Here is the question....if Im correct....
what temps should the water from the reservoir be...
Im thinking like 72 degrees..... maybe higher
A related question..... does cold water actually slow the plant down????
My expectation that for flood and drain the question would have the same relevance....
Love to hear some opinions....
