Hello all,
Posted a few threads but i'm still fucking my plants up,
400w hps, 4"inline fan hooked up, 4x4x6.5 grow tent, temps hitting high 90'sf (is know its terrible) humidity is ok 50/60% usually now, i tried using a passive intake method, the box isn't particularly well sealed (zips/velcro) but i zipped it all up and i couldn't see much light getting through, but the passive wasn't enough, i had to have the tent open (again), even with the fan sucking hot air right off the light, the temperature was nearly getting to 100f, with it open its like 85/90? Ambient temps are hot too though inside or out hitting 78/80f
my question is, have i really done all that i can considering i cant afford A/C? my ideas are moving the lights up and (maybe) the plants up so the light is nearer the vent holes to give shorter ducting and/or moving the fan to the bottom to suck in lots of the slightly colder air in from outside?
thanks for any help!!!!
