Increase intake/exhaust diameter/fanspeed.

I av a 2 speed 6” turbo extraction fan and only passive intake available right now plus 2 fans in the tent :+1::star_struck:there must some genius with a cheap idea lol

#4

are you exhausting the heat to outside at least? not recycling the exhausted air

i think if you can do active intake from somewhere cooler, it might be best, maybe check youtube for DIY air conditioners or swamp coolers, or maybe amazon for small air conditioner

@Stonkie mate have you got a window nearby your tent, if so buy sum 4 inch ducting and a fan to either suck or blow some outside air to help, but you need to freshen the air or your just blowing about a lot of heat…
Or try leds (when/if finances avail. )…?!
Anyway good luck with your grow…

Hi just my 2 cents even though it’s good to keep them around 75 I’m hoping people realize that weed grows in hotter places with no trouble

They should be fine then you can tell when it’s to hot because the leaves will drop even if they don’t need water or taco

That’s what I don’t want . I can’t wait 3 waeeks and then put the other light in and fuck all the work to get em there I just need a method to cool down in flower or preflower :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::full_moon:without causing too much stress

I got ya just thinking about what you can do then

#18

If you can find a portable aircon unit for a decent price that would do the job. Some sell used ones on ebay.
