Been thinking about your heat issues. I keep tropical fish and this time of year always poses problems. Do a google search for aquarium cooling fans. I've used them in the past. Once you get the idea its easy to diy with pc fans.

Thanks Gman i looked into that but light would get in through the fans 
Been looking around and can't find the dehumidifier, i have a sneaking suspicion it was one we borrowed, kept for a long time, then gave back when we moved.
Lol - i have imaginary possessions !
So for the moment i have the chiller bucket up top, managed to push-fit the hose onto the tap :
And also managed to push-fit the hose onto my float valve intake :
It's a bit leaky but i've ordered a clamp.
Right now the plant isn't drinking enough to have the tap on but i've read about plants drinking up to 4 litres a day!
They're obviously bigger plants than mine but once she starts drinking over a half litre a day i'll turn on the tap and begin Flow Wars again ;+}
Cheers,

Hydro day 23 ...
Day 23 in the HydroBox!
UK temps have been a little lower so that's been a boost.
I've removed the circulating pump as the roots were being sucked in wherever i placed it :
The plant is doing well :
The roots are healthy and strong, they no longer break when i take her out to clean the res :
I'm not bothering with my crappy PPM meter, just going on how she responds and the concentration of nutes to water.
Right now, per litre of water she is getting :
1ml grow nutes
0.5ml MagneCal
0.5ml Silicon
3ml Rot Stop
pH is 5.8
I will buy a better EC meter when i next get paid because i'd rather know as i go along than react to changes.
Meanwhile, enjoy this gallery someone stuck on imgur :

Seen those pictures they are great. Great going there steely.
Hey Steely gotta ask something before we continue this relationship... Do mind being treated like a whore ( no offense to any whores out there in the community ) I only ask cause I'm like the wind, free and coming and going as I please but never really having much to say.. Nothing important at least most of the time, lol. I usually pop in and give a shout to let ya know I hadn't forgotten about you.
I abused Trap the same way.. But I think he kinda liked it...
Just had my morning medicine gentlemen so please excuse me...

Looking good! Shame about the pump, looks like you need a external one but see how she goes.
Humidity is going to be your next battle. she'll transpire 3ltrs a day once she is finished stretching.
Love how she is developing!!
