what is the advertised wattage of your vipar? most of those purple things say 600w (or something) but really run around 250w. also in terms of heat: are you venting the air out of your caravan and drawing cool air in somewhere? If not, the biggest fan in the world wont help. You need to get rid of the hot air and cycle in fresh stuff from underneath or something

Is it sucking air out of the caravan to? If not that's your problem. You need to suck hot air out and cold air in. Otherwise your just circulating heat around the tent.

Not really man as long as your smallest fan is adequet the bigger one will only help. One way or another you need the hot air out and cold air in. It also makes a difference on where you put them

I might rearrange the big cab to be able run two plants in that space over summer. I've got 3ft x 1.76ft of floor space to utilise. I'll take out the middle wall. Move the exhaust kit. Possibly sound dampen the back wall. Reinforce the floor. And probably mount the power brick to the light. Don't know how ugly cable management will be. But it's not likely to be pretty.

@bobqp .how big could I expect outdoor plants to get if they are planted now? Most my plants are just seedlings and the clones are about 1 ft tall. Thought you would be the best to ask because your the closest to my area

Well some of my Sativa's won't start flowering till end of Feb. But indica sativa crosses should get full size between 7 and 15 foot tall . to give you an idea with clones .I put 6 inch tall clones outside 1st of January and they reached 6 and a half foot tall. So if your clones are already 1 foot tall then they will grow to maximum height.average size should be 10 foot tall. Make sure the hole is atleast 100 litres for the plants and atleast 50 litres for the clones.

Sweet. I was thinking I left it a bit late but nothing wrong with some 10ft plus trees. Cheers for the answer I thought it might have been a "how longs a piece of string" question

A decent knife with cut through a caravan wall,floor or roof. Duct tape and cardboard is good to block windows and seal holes. Are your windows blanked out? You will be surprised how hot it gets with sun going through the glass

And some cheap silver or white spray paint on the roof and afternoon sun side will help reflect the sun. And I've said it before but a tarp or shade cloth draped over the caravan will reduce more heat than anything else. Believe me I grew up in one for 7 years
