well, its 83 in the house right now and my sister wont turn the air on, she says well your room stays hot cause of the boxes, so im more or less fucked right now. i took the fan out and it only has the 2 80mm fans sucking air out and its still stayin at 90, so i dont know what to do right now, im getting pissed, LoL.

Well now that I think about it more, if its 83 in the house, a 7 degree raise in the box over ambient isn't the best, but it is within reason. I think that pulling more exhaust is better than that fan though, but removing it doesn't sound like it helped none.

Is there any way you can pull air from a window. They make plastic ducting for those PC fans.
good thinking man, i got a bunch of pvc pipe and fittings i can rig something up with, thanks.

now that i think about it, the 2 fans in the veg box are running off 1 12v source, so there only working at 6v each, ill work on all this tomorrow, thanks.
Not the cheapest option but you can get a windowshaker for $100.
yeah bro, not an option, money is pretty tight right now, LoL. should only be a few days in the 80's.

youre ok in the 80s, you can even get away with low 90s. 93 is max for me
i paid the price in my last grow...my bud didnt fill the stem and looked to have lost alot of potential weight...consistancy is of most importance so if it does sit in the mid 80s thats alot better than 78 on day 80 the next n 90 etc...if u cant keep ur temps in the 75-78 range than aim for consistancy

Good to know, thanks rasta! Mine has been consistant at mid to high 80's so thats probably why I haven't had much of a problem.

yeah, im gonna play with the fans and work on a pvc air sucking stack from the window and i think will get things right. with the windows open, its 80 in the house and 86 in the box right now. the humidity is good at 45%.

ok, being the ghetto master i am, heres what i just threw together with shit i had layin around. 3" inlet at the window, pipe was just the right lenght and didnt even have to cut it. elbow down to the floor and reduced to 2" cause thats all i had. a couple more elbows and small pieces of pipe and BAM!! right into the box. im gonna get a 2" to 3" elbow tomorrow and put an 80mm fan on it to suck the cool outside air into the box.

i was using the fan sitting in the box for the exhaust but when i fucked with it to put it on the pipe, it quit working of course, LoL. so then i took 1 out of the side of the flowering box and used it and now both are running on a full 12v each. i also went on ebay and ordered 2 more 80mm'sb for just $7.22 shipped. the temp is still at 86 but im sure ill get a couple more degrees when i put the fan on the end of that pipe.

hell yeah thanks, not bad for 20 minutes,LoL. i cant wait to get the other shit tomorrow to finish it. that elbow will go on a shorter piece of pipe and run right into the box at the right angle, not sure which end the fan will go on, but i'll test it at both ends, its only $2 at lowes.

There looking happy, have you started feeding them yet? Are you just going to top and then let them recover for a couple more weeks?
