Hey guys/gals,
My CFL grow has been going well, but I think in another week or two I will be flowering them. These 4 plants (and one tiny one) have exploded outward and made my closet a jungle!! I wanted bushy plants... but damn. I'll be doing CFL again next time for sure.
Anyways... with 4 daylight CFL bulbs, the closet temp is around 85-90F, which is high but the plants are loving it and I keep them well watered. If it gets up around 100 they seem a bit unhappy. When I switch to flowering, I will need to use the soft-white bulbs for their spectrum, but I noticed they produce WAY more heat than the daylight. What way can I keep the temps down? A portable AC unit is huge and very conspicuous. Could I just hang a 2L bottle of ice in front of the fan? Any ideas? My space is small and its on the top floor (hot) so with summer I'm afraid of overheating!!
