Thanks Sworth! If they doubled at this stage that would only take them about 1/2 way to the top of the tent. Why stop there? I'm thinking of going maybe another foot or so. Bad idea?
My first grow. Been vegging for about 2 weeks now. I'm using a tent outdoors because it's MUCH cooler than indoors and much easier to vent. Using a 600w MH, 2 intake fans, 1 centrifugal exhaust and a desktop fan pointed directly at the light. Temps have been staying around 70-90 at the canopy...
Took the great advice here and added a 2nd intake fan at the bottom for a total of 2, and a 6" centrifugal exhaust sucking out from the top. I also pointed the desk fan right at the light - which btw I switched back to the 600w MH. Temps have been between about 70f and 92f at canopy level -...
Thanks Torontoke. Ill try adding another 6" exhaust fan and see if that helps. Everything I have read elsewhere says MH bulbs do run much hotter than HPS so I'll stick with the HPS.
The reason for a tent is to allow 24/7 light and speed up vegetation. Its also to allow a switch to 12/12 for flowering. You can't do that outdoors.
And it's MUCH cooler outdoors here then indoors. Why increase the heat by placing the tent inside? And as I said the tent is outdoors but under...

I got a 600w light that came with both a 600w MH and 600wHPS. Starting with 4...
