hi
im having a few probs with my temperature,ive only just started out & just bought all the equipment,ive not actually got any plants in the buddha tent yet as im just testing the room trying to get the temperature down so i can throw my cuttings straight in
at the minute it keeps going upto 109 degrees which is way too high
im using a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2 m buddha tent,with 2 x 600 HPS lights with an 8 inch extractor (800cpm),
even if i just use 1 600w sodium light it only goes down to 94 degrees.
i need all the help i can get as this is my 1st grow,ive been reading alot & it mentions to use a fan inside the tent to cool it down,either blowing through the top of the plants or blowing towards the 2 x 600 w bulbs.
forgot to mention im only in a 3 bedroom house with no attic & i have the tent in my bedroom.
i know if i put the tent at the other end of the room by the window it will probably bring the temp down but im worried about the noise it`ll give off with the neighbours
please can someone give me some ideas of what to do ?
please check out my early pictures
am i missing something,can anyone guide me to get the temp down ??
much apprceiated
thanks
in the pictures ive numbered a few things in case picture quality is poor
1:this is my 8inch (800cpm twin fan extractor)
2)is my vent holes,as you can see 1 is being used for my extractor
3)my thermometer
4)these are my 2 x 600w HPS lamps with sodium bulb
5)this is where the other end of the extractor comes out of my buddha tent,ill also be using a carbon filter & odur sock as well
