hi my room runs abit to hot around 28c on normal day but on hot days it can reach 35c,

its 8ftx8ft room 8ft high, have 2x 600w hps lights

1 intake air fan 6" ruck 150l

1 outtake fan 8" with a carbon filter on it,


on hot days the air coming in is still to warm so i must get more air out the room maybe?

someone said take the carbon filter off as this will let more air to be sucked out?

any advice as i would like to drop the temp a good 6-8c

thanks

Are you nuts? :D

So small room and so many watts.... take 1 x 600w out and make another room for it.

That would be a simple fix, wait til winter to start up the second light.

Or get a higher cfm fan.

Are you venting through the hoods, or ambient air?

Is a/c possible?

Yeah A/C or make them 6/24 and another 6/24 and place times same time when other turnoff then another turns on. That way u get good yield from all your plants and temp problem is solved :blsmoke:

taking off the carbon filter will bring up your flow rate and bring down your temps. if you have access to a/c or other form of active cooling, implement it. focus on raising the flow rate on the exhaust.

That is not a lot of watts at all! Why would you even say some shit like that!
You could use at least twice as many 600's in a room that size if you could cool it down. If the room has a window, a small AC unit at walmart can be had for a hundred bucks or less. I am using a 10' x 10' x 7' room to flower with a window AC and can get the temps down to 65 degrees in the afternoon(100+ outside). I am only using one 430 watt son agrow light setup right now, but will add more when I get the money for it.

If you dont have them already, get four box fans and run those on high in the room spread out, otherwise next u will have mildew and mold everywhere. Heat kills crops, NO JOKE, u weill lose a whole crop if u let heat control your room

You have 3 options, only 1 is a good choice

1.Bigger CFM fan. You should have atleast a 800 CFM moving out of that room, 1000CFM would be ideal. Its a big room!

2.Airconditioner. This will help, but u really need better airflow before u worry about this

3.Turn off a light. Do u really want to lose that much bud? u are losing ounces everyime those plants get heat stressed, so it's better to keep the heat lower and have less light. Get a nice fan for those poor things. Those are your babies, but they don't cry if they arent happy, they steal weed from you.
