Very interesting indeed!. The idea is soundand makes sense. I'm running my whole system on solar so every extra watt needs to be considered!. I will keep an eye out for a small bar fridge or freezer that might be suitable. In the meantime I'll be a 'poor grower' and try some frozen water bottles!. Many thanks for your great idea.

Got a small bar fridge or chest freezer sitting anywhere? Pumping cool liquid through a copper or stainless coil submersed in your reservoir water would chill it nicely. To get that liquid cool you basically hold a 15-20L bucket of water in a fridge with a pump inside the bucket circulating the water from the bucket through the coil in the reservoir and back out into the bucket. You'd obviously need to drill holes in the fridge door or whatever. You may hit a refrigerant line if you drill in the side of the fridge so be mindful of that. You'd need a temp controller like a STC-1000 to maintain the reservoir temp by switching the pump in the fridge on and off. Sounds a bit overkill but it will work and a fairly straight forward project if you don't mind a bit of DIY. Another very effective option is converting a 2nd hand portable AC into a water chiller, also controlled by a temp controller. Something I have done with good success but that seems a bit overkill when you only need to chill to 20 C. I'm in a line of work that involves a lot of liquid chilling and temp control so more than happy to elaborate on anything further for you

Dear Diary, It's been almost a month since I last posted and a lot has happened and changed. About a week after I my last post, my indoor plants took a dive, they yellowed out on the new growth like an iron lockout from a PH issue. Considering these plants were 100% until I went and spent 4 days in cape town and forgot to open the reservoir tap before leaving. That coupled with a 36 hour power outage, a heatwave, 7000+ PPM of co2 and these were screwed. I initially I thought I could save them, but their growth was becoming deformed and I wasn't in the mood for a warped difficult grow, so I decided to trash the entire indoor grow and buy new clones and start over. So now we have a full ripper seeds grow: 2x Criminal+ (Critical cheese) 2x Gelato x Kmints x Runtz 2x Zombie Bride (Wedding Cake x Zombie Kush) 2x UK Cheese x Zombie Kush I also decided to switch out my nutrients from Nutriplex (NutriGold) to trying the Gold Label CoCo Nutrients with their Stimulators & Boosters - https://goldlabel.nl/nutrients/ - (I get that it's all just NPK `n shit, but lets give it a run and see, since I don't think there is anyone on this Forum running these nutrients). I acquired the clones on the 7th November and these are how they are looking today on the Gold Label Nutrients: Then on the Organic Outdoor side - these plants have been going great and getting big, I am considering changing their pots to 48L pots. I did a defoliation last Saturday and they seem to have recovered nicely. Still feeding them Biobizz Fish-mix, Calmag, Molasses, Enzymes. Blueberry Sunset Chempie x Purple Punch Zombie Kush that's it for now.
