wow yea you are getting it bad. I am in vacaville. I am growing indoors already. I have a small closet grow with just 1 plant. She is 6 weeks into flowering. I am just using a small 150wat hps. I have having trouble with the heat indoors.

Do you run your 'on' cycle at night to help a little with the temps?

LOL, I used to work in Vjo, and lived there for a bit, but grew up on the other side of the Carquinez bridge.

It wont do any good on night cycle. Its still 85 outside at midnight here.

you will get hairy airy buds.... not solid nugs.....Trich production goes to shit too

Have you tried filling some bottles of water and freezing them ? You can place them in front of your fan and it will help cool the air ...Not by much but suppose its a shot in the right direction ... Ive done that little trick loads of times....good luck mate with the grow...

thank you very much for the reply. I have been placing 1 cup of ice on the soil. and just giving light watering during the days. I will be trying your water bottle suggestion next. thank you again

INCREASE THE AMOUNT YOU WATER WHEN TEMPS/HUMIDITY GET HIGH!!! BigSteve.

If the closet temps get above 90 mb throw a bag of ice in there in a bucket during the day. That plus good airflow and you'll be ok.

I just thought about this because I'd also like to bring my temps down a bit... but what about dry ice? Dry ice doesn't melt as quickly as ice, AND when it does "melt", it gives you nothing but CO2!

With regular ice, I put some ice in a bowl in my cab and put a small personal fan on top of the bowl, facing up... it draws the cool air from the ice and pumps it towards to the top of the cab.
