I did that today morning. Put in a few ice cubes in the water to bring the temp to 21 deg C.

Update on the growth. PH at 6, using ice to cool the water. No nutrient added. Covered with stroyfoam to avoid evaporation. The pots completely covered are empty.

I don't think the evaporation is very high. Haven't actually measured the quantity periodically.
I have 7 lts of water in there and I put in about 500ml of ice everyday. Need to remove the water daily as ice adds in additional water😀
