temp pissing me off!!!!!

[sweetnug]

ok.... Do you exhaust the a/c outside, thats just so hard to tell why man. whats the temp outside of the closet?

 

[rockydog]

A carbon filter should take care of most of the smell. We need to figure out how to get fresh air into your closet so your not recirculating the same air.

see te picture of the closet is the portable a/c which is vented in the attic. Now that i have the door open on the tent with a/c blowing in there the temp at the plant is 81 and the water temp is 72, top of the inside of the tent is 77. the closet can pull some air from the bottom of the door which leads to a bedroom.

 

[sweetnug]

Well I hope all turns out, check on co2 you may just need a regulator but they will blow up at 88 with co2. Just watch them close they will eat more and do every biological activity more frequently

what do you recomend for my co2. so i could run it higher temp with c02? how much do i use and how often? how is that temp for growing now?

 

[sweetnug]

maybe it wont smell, sometimes they dont til the very end, sometimes never. I wouldn't worry about smell until you get that temp worked out

awww think thats the prob.. rockydog spotted it also:hubba: need fresh air intake I think....

can you tap the floor and draw from under the house? 6x6 foot grow room needs a 12x12 inch hole for freash air exchange so think'n crack under door is a bit lacking(I know yours isn't that size, just an example of mine)

good intake and I dont think you will need that AC thing IMHO.

good luck

well i tried having the door open to the closet and it didnt seem to help.

18/6
how does this sound, now the temp is 73 and water is 71. now to keep the temp down during the day what about turning just the lights off and one fan for 6 hours during the hottest part of the day.
however there wouldnt be a cold period like night for the plants. it would probably just hover in the mid to high 70's as an average. dont you want it colder when the lights are off? I dont want to train the plants this way for a month then change the cycle would I?

 

[sweetnug]

Colder nights are great. Glad the temp. went down man. Keep it 75 minimum if you can during the light phase. Dont change the cycle 18/6 is fine, it can't hurt at all.

 

[ytrew]

but with this cycle i wont have colder nights. 75 minumum?

 

[sweetnug]

It will be ok. But when the lights are off doesn't it cool down with the a/c, 75 when the lights are on

but with this cycle i wont have colder nights. 75 minumum?

wish my min. was 75 I have to work at get'n it UP to that..... would love to have it at 88 in my grow year round
