You will be fine, its not the ideal temp for your average grow but since your adding CO2 you need higher temps anyways so you should be good. I have grown up to 90 with good results. This is of course as long as you are not using type of DWC. What is your ventilation setup like?

not knowing your set up..i would have to go with the common knowledge of you need to exhaust more of that hot air out of the room..hit me up..im usually always around,and always willing to give advise and help ya set it up!!

but as smppro said,ull be ok..ur going to be useing co2..that will lower your temp a bit...just make sure not to have that exhaust fan going when your running your co2...the bst way i know to have that set up..is to make sure the co2 comes on,when your lights and exhaust fan go off...
otherwise that co2 is just going to suck right out not even having a chance to get near the ladys..

are you intaking cool air? are you exhausting into the same room. i'd check air flow and make sure you are dumping the hot air away from your intake air.

hey thanks for the advice sorry about the lack of detail...im doing a soil grow with 2 600watt hps an e-fan=exhaust fan and my area is just under 800 cubic-feet and around a 150 square feet (only using half of that at the moment) The fan is rated at 600 sum odd CFM and its attached to a carbon Filter. Have vent-able hoods but no money at this time to get more fans and ducting.

Actually you want you lights on when using CO2, otherwise it does no good. A cooltube is going to be your best bet for not exhausting your co2.:peace:

With only 1 600 watt HPS light I have 3 fans.. 2 humidifiers... an air purifier .. window open and it's still 80-82.. my plants seem to like it though... I would get a tube vent if I were you to push hot air where you want it...

pretty sure co2 doesn't lower the temperature of your grow room, but it does allow the plants to withstand higher temperatures.

if anyone has experience using vent-able hoods pls advice ......so basically i run a vent from the intake to the hood then a can-fan in between the 2 hoods and then a vent attached to a seprate efan venting it all out?? do i have it right and will the air being pumped out of the lights "stink" once plants are mature since it isn't being filtered?

Also what is the temperature of the air you are bringing into the room ? If you are pushing 85 degree air thru the room that is all the cooler you will be able to get it. I'm sure you understand that but thought I'd mention it in case it was overlooked.

When you guys mention "vent tube" are you guys referring to the tubing that comes on with the radiant 6' or radiant 8' type? If it is then what if you are using a reflector that does not come with any vent tube?


If I am going in the wrong direction with the vent tube thingy, then can someone point me in the right direction because I am having a major heat problem also.


Thank you,
