Hello RIU. I am just starting my first cabinet grow and I am having some temperature issues right off the bat !! Here is the skinny:
Cabinet Size: Each Chamber is 36"W X 36"H X 18"deep. As I have just sprouted these little one's I only have them under 26W CFL's (6 of them). Total wattage is 156watts.
Intake/Exhaust: One 50cfm fan coming in and One 50cfm going out into 4" ducting through a cold air vent into the crawl space under my house.
Here is the problem: With the lights on and the fans running, my temps are sitting around 92 - 94 degrees !!!!!! Is this an intake or an exhaust issue? If this is a problem now, what about when I change to 42Watt and 65Watt bulbs? It is going to be WAY TOO HOT !!
I do have a 6" in-line fan that I purchased but need to build it into a box before I hook it up as currently it would be too noisy. It is 250cfm and when I did hook it up preliminarily, it didn't seem to be sucking the way I thought it would? I had it on the 4" line in the crawl space and then fed in to a DIY Carbon Filter and it didn't seem to push the air at all??
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. The sooner the better cause I am going to roast these little bastards !!!!
