lets see this as expiriment. i will get some good srain soon, and it will get cooler (it allways does) . i cannot get AC in this room. BUT, if u got any otherway to cool it down. i am listening. i figured to add co2, so i built co2 yeast generator, but the fan wont let me built critical mass, and i am afried to stop the fan.
swamp cooller?
i have no idea but to w8, and i gave it somre thought.
what u say?
The environment is essential to indoor growing. You temps are high, and your plants will suffer, so will yield.. You may even be spending more then you are getting depending on other environmental factors.
 
House box fan is one of the greatest 20 dollar fan investments, i have an old one from the 90s i use, you can put it close and have the wind bounce off the walls to the plants or set it back a bit and use direct wind, you could probably get one at the Goodwill for a few bucks.

this may be a pain in the ass, and take some extra effort, but if you get a clip on fan or two, fill a cooler full of ice and clip the fans to the side of the cooler facing up. It will cool it down. Like a said pain in the ass but it will work for a small area. Desperate time desperate measure.

i see a fan in Pic on top near the filter blowing Down. that is counter productive, Blow the air from bottom to top not top to bottom. your pulling air away from your exshuast like that a causing it to stay hotter in your area then needed. space out ur plants and put the fan on bottom with a couple 4" risers<upside down 4x4 pots work great> and blow toward the filter. i guarantee it will help, and dont leave Veg till you get your temps down, Veg can handle high heat allot ezer then Flowering can.

[h=1]maleficio[/h]hello everyone and tnx for advices about the heat. i took your advices and its only 87. yes i know, its too hot :(
and now for something completely different.
one of my plantes started to show some signs of illness. i think its nuts burn, but i am not sure. its the healthyest and strongest of my plants, and i feed them less then is recomended.
nevertheless, i will starve them with only water for 4 days, then i will see.
i added pics so if some1 has any idea what it is, please tell me. its better treat it now when its small.

if you are feeding less than recommended, I would think that is heat damage, where is it mostly? top of the plant (new growth) bottom of the plant (old growth) mid of the plant (inbetween growth)?

big leaves, old ones. at the tip but also some stains on the body of the leaf. the color is bright yellow.
i dont think its heat dmg. 87 its not that hot.

sup all.
still havent figured what the yellow stains on on of my plants, but i guess its a water burn of some sort (by the pattren of the stains. mybe the water with nut accumulated on the leaves and dried out to make a burn. keeping my eyes
at ay rate
here is my veg chamber. i have 2x62w daylight cfl in this shelf/closet. walls are with white pvc. its about 60x80x80 cm. my Q is the W is enough? i plan to leave every plant in 2 weeks veg and send it in the perpetual 12/12 600w tent. is that reaveg1 29.8.jpgveg2 29.8.jpgveg3 29.8.jpgveg4 29.8.jpgveg5 29.8.jpgsonable?

tnx bro.
the tray i got at the hydro shop near my house. i usualy try to avoid buying there, since they are extreamly expensive, but this i had to buy. we can talk about specific location on privte if u like.
do u think 2x62w cfl is enough for flowering? or should i add more cfl's?
i dont want to add more, cuz they consume W and make heat, but if i have no choise...
tnx again

hi and tnx for the response.
this is my pot progerss:
once they are rooted in the RW, i put them in a 1.8L (=3.8 pint) torpedo pot (long and nerrow, as in the pics) for 2 weeks of veg. after 2 weeks of veg off they go into a minimum of 6.5L pot for flowering (got also 7.5L airpots and 11L pots i designate for speacial good strains and retiring mothers). seedlings i start for 2 weeks in 1\2L (1 pint) pots and then the same pot progress as clones.
is it reasonable?
tnx for advice

you should definately have more light, I was using 4 of the 23W (100w replacement) and 2 75W bulbs (these were florescent tubes, they were 75W all the way, no light saving on those guys) for a total of 242W, and I probably could have fit more lights for sure. your set up sounds good, as long as you transplant them well each time you should be good
