Need really fast help with my temp/light problem

Hi Guys!

I hope that I can get some help in my first grow.

I bought my grow setup with following inside:

- 1.2x1.2x2m tent
- Carbon filter fan kit 4''
- 4 breathable 16L root nurse pots
- 600w Lumii Black Light kit
- Canna coco natural
- Canna a+b

I have already planted 4 seeds, 2x white widow, 1x amnesia haze, 1x Skunk XL and they are already seedlings about 3cm long.

I ordered few more things which I am waiting for ph meter, and 2x 6'' fans for air circulation. Fans I will receive today.

The most important thing that I worry about is temperature, it is around 37c inside the tent, when light is running is literally really hot in the grow tent so I think is too hot and 4'' fan that is connected to carbon filter is not really doing the job.

Do you think that 2x 6'' normal fans will help ? At the moment my budget is really low so cannot buy some big expensive fans.

Also tent is in small room and there is no way to get the air out to other room or outside.

How much more I will have to spend to get it cooled down? Are there any old school methods? Ice in the bucket or cold water?

I dont want my babies to fry.

I hope you can guys help me.

Looking forward to your replies !

4"hole saw and some ducting,or turn your light down.Or HAVE your light on the coolest part of the day.Or put your plants outside.

Is the carbon filter pushing air into your small room where tent is? If so try to cut hole into attic and exhaust it in there.

Yes it is and I think it will not be a good option to cut a hole mate. Flat is not mine so will be hard.

So there will be no way to get temp down if carbon filter and fans will be in the same room ?

No,you need to plan ahead.You need cooler air coming in.Change your light.Part of growing is being a good problem solver.Pretty simple to fix a 4" hole in drywall.Good luck

Do you think that moving it to a larger room wwhere window can be opened during the day will be good ?

I can afford to buy some more setup next month but it will be too late.

what would be the best way to setup carbon filter and fan? I have seen too many options not sure which one will work the best.

Just leaving the tent door open when the light is on should help,fan on top of light run hose to window.Doesnt have to be through the window just by it.Open vents at bottom of tent to replace air.Play around with it,youll get it.

That’s what I do. I have my tent by window. I don’t have to run my carbon filter yet.

Yeah just recycling the air is not going to cool anything, plus your humidity will go sky high and your co2 will drop.

There is really no substitute for proper air exchange apart from running sealed room.

The easiest thing you can try is just moving it to a bigger room, least the more volume of air will take longer to heat up and have some sort of passive exchange via windows and doors.


Your not the first person to try and grow half assed and you wont be the last.
