I can't believe it my temps dropped to 81 deg and thats with one 65 cfm fan with a diy carbon filter.
good thinking dude. I wonder how much cooler my cab would have been without the fans blowing around in there. haha. i ordered high speed pc fans so that should be enough lol.Quick little update
Got outta bed looked in the cab first thing like every morning. Temp 93 WTF. Thought I licked that prob! So I've been thinking it over and I thought about how heat rises. Well I have a big circulation fan in there going while the lights r on. My question to myself was, How do u expect the fcking heat to rise with that big ass fan blowing all around. So the cabs not like a room Where u need that big fan so I shut all the fans off except the exhaust fan and closed it up. 90 deg when I closed it up just checked and it's down to 82 within 30 min. I think the air moving up from the bottom intakes and out the top thru the exhaust will be more than enough circulation for a little cab. Any input? I'll check it throughout the day from my web cam and let u all know whats up.
I think anything in the low 80's should be good. I have a little seedling room going with fluoros and even that has been getting up to the mid 80's on warmer days with no problems. Think about it. Sativa strains come from more tropical climates where I'm sure the summer temps get well into the 90's or even the 1000's. Indicas come from cooler areas, but even there, summer temps can reach the 80's and 90's Some people will tell you the temps have an effect on sex, but personally I think that is determined in seed.
Yeah I agree I think my temp probs r over thank god.
So what exactly did you do? You turned the oscillating fan off and just let the exhaust fan on?
Sounds good to me man. I'm still a novice myself, but if it's keeping your temps down I'd go with it. Like Joe said, a breeze will strengthen the stem, but being able to keep the lights closer now that the temp is down will prevent the stretching. From what I've been reading, they like the fresh air, but the exhaust and intake you have going is probably providing that.I was just thinking about how hot air rises and how that's supposed to happen in a cab while all the air is being circulated. It can't. So my options were to get a bigger exhaust fan or turn off the circulation fans. After turning off the fans except exhaust the temps just kept getting better and better. They range from 77 with A/C on to 82 when it's been off 4 a while right before it kicks on again. Thats 11 deg cooler at the hottest point. I think the air constantly move though the cab from the intakes to the exhaust will be plenty of circulation. What do you think about it?
nice, I love the structure of kush leafs. Keep em growing!
