Big Big Heat Issue

[gobears4eva]

Ok so the heat is fine when im running the 2 cfls for vegging the 3 plants,but when the hps is runnning it hits 100 in teh grow room,anything to cool it down?i cannot build an exhaust anymore then what i already did,cut a hole in teh drywall into the wall and have a 4 inch inline fan blowing into a carbon filter blowing through the venting pipe.not helping the heat but the carbon filter will help the smell i hope.We built it ourselves from a big thread on here.ok so anyway to lower heat,im intrerested in anything! lol and what would happen to 3 plants under 100 degree heat?

Get a bigger fan, which you should have anyway to strengthen the plant. There are also small AC units that you could use to keep temps down. Cooling shouldn't be a problem.

Portable A/C's are pretty pricey I think. Look into a cool tube or vented hood. Your plants won't grow very fast with that much heat.

A swamp coolor would work. Have to by a Wall plug thermostat and build the swamp coolor or buy one.
Probably for that cost u could buy a Window unit...

I was thinking of getting a swamp cooler. They're cheap like 60$. I just got a portable a/c from craigslist

My room never goes above 85, but if it gets up there i have 2, 1gl jugs of water in the freezer i cycle through. 1 knocks the temp down 5 degrease maybe 2 ore 3 will get you to a reasonable place?? If you do end up doing it make sure your water is ICE not ice around water they wont last long like that.

i have 150mm inline fan i have like a 10 litre bucket at the end of the ducting with a hole cut for the ducting and i sit 2, 2 litre froaen bottles in there i alternate them through the day to keep temps down works well

found my solution,the closet with the door open a crack went from 100 to 88 last night,then the temps went from 88 to 78 during night hours and now the lights have been on 3 hours this morning and the temps havent been above 81 witht he door cracked,looks like my heat issue is solved!
