My pleasure.
Keep in mind, I do not recommend anyone purposely raise the temps in their growroom to these extremes. These are methods to help keep temps reasonable enough to get quality results from a very harsh enviornment.

Would put some more thought into the SmartPots. Thoughts like...how does the pot cool the water, or at the very least, not retain ambient heat? The water will act like an insulator, collecting external heat. Or at the very least, not let the heat escape. Also, cannabis doesn't much like being fed from the bottom. At least mine didn't. (no fresh water to upper root zones, and conditions that virtually guarantee root rot in the lower root zones)

I'm a bit doubtful the cloth and perlite are necessary, but...If it works, stick with it. A fan blowing across the pots will circulate air and should cool the roots just fine. (unless your greenhouse is sitting in the middle of an asphalt parking lot, lol)
