Hey all, its your favorite noob back with some questions and looking for some answers. Ok, heres the deal, I have a closet that I've recently converted into a grow room and it measures 3x3x6 (approx). I've been running a few test runs before I actually plant and I've noticed I'm having some temp problems.
Basically what I've done is place 8 cfls (5 14w 6500k and 3 23w 2700k) in the room and placed a thermometer underneath them. Now with all the lights on I'm running at close to 90F. And thats with only half my lights because I still have 8 more I plan on adding come flower time.
Now I've noticed that when I open the door it goes down to around 86F which is ok but im not too sure i want the door opened all the time due to the fact of light leaks, security, and odor. I mean I COULD do that but I'm trying to stay away from it. Not to mention wtf will i do when i add the rest of the lights. Another thing I did was got high and decided to cut a hole in the closet wall that measures L12"xH6" (don't ask why). I think I was planning on getting a fan and mounting it to the hole in the wall but I'm really low on cash and cant afford much more if anything at all.
What I'm looking for is an easy cheap way to solve my temp problems before flower time cause I think I can deal with the door open til then. Would pc fans work? cause i have a shit ton laying around here.
Basically I think my mind is just going crazy and I need to step back and look at wtf I'm doing, but I just want to get this grow started dammit!
As always +rep will be gladly handed to those who offer their help.
