    CFL closet major heat

    How many intake ports are you using, and since I'm asking, what size are they? Checked out your journal, looks good, dude.

    CFL closet major heat

    I'm no expert but it looks like you have more than enough lights, but they could be optimized for better coverage of the plant. I think that you could probably even remove a few of the lights, and move the ones you keep to be around the plant (like a dome of lights). Just a thought from a...

    CFL closet major heat

    I was speaking about a bigger exhaust fan. I have a Holmes 10" stationary fan in the room right now, but I feel my exhaust may be too weak. I threw my t5 on a separate timer from the rest of the lights, on a 1 hour cycle of 30 on, 30 off. Checking on max temps again soon. Hopefully your right...

    CFL closet major heat

    So even with the additional intake my temps are at 90 with all of the lights on. With the T5 off its only 85. I'm not sure how to go forward. My exhaust fan is rated for 65cfm (pretty weak, I know). So I am thinking of getting a more powerful exhaust fan for starters. Will that make enough of a...

    CFL closet major heat

    I made version 1 of a light trap out of a cigar box while watching some Top Gear. My lights are off now or I'd test it out. I did add another 3" intake hole, and will add one more tomorrow (battery on my drill got low). For some reason my place was actually like 76 degrees, not 72, so that...

    CFL closet major heat

    I set up my flowering lights today and am doing a test for temps. Right now 72°F ambient and 89 in the wardrobe. Yikes. Have not added the additional intakes yet. Going to hope I can get it down to 80. These lights are bright! Sorry for the bad photo. I will line my wardrobe with Mylar...

    CFL closet major heat

    Finally, a thread that seems to be all helpful. Haha ;) I was thinking about getting a couple LEDs, or making a few COB fixtures. I'm a bit confused about powering them (probably over thinking it), but its something I'm considering for the future. Good note about 40w heat vs 23w. I have plenty...

    CFL closet major heat

    I have the same thermometer. 9 bucks at home depot. Lol. I was laying.in bed last night thinking about the heat issue, if its too high after adding intake ports, im going to modify the wardrobe and buy a better quality blower and a bigger scrubber. I made a diy scrubber/blower for 30 bucks that...

    CFL closet major heat

    I'm growing OG Kush. Its was up at 85°F for a couple days and they looked great. The only time it gets droopy is for about 2-3 hours after wattering. The photo below is right after watering, temp at 84°F Good info BB. I exhaust from the top based on logic and intake from the bottom. Ill add 2...

    That's true, but they'd be tied down anyways...which would probably also hold them up...strangely enough. Haha I probably won't try until i get a bigger place, but if i ever do, ill share. A windswept plant would probably be just as good or better... I've been growing bonsai for a few years...

    CFL closet major heat

    Subscribed! That's almost the exact same size as my wardrobe, and the same ambient temp as my place. I currently have 4 40w lights, a 4" scrubber, and a 3" intake. My temp stays at about 82. My plan is a second intake, and possibly a second exhaust fan. My exhaust fan isn't very powerful so it...

    I was thinking of doing some lst on my plants (working on my first grow) but said decided not to. I've been thinking about it the last few days and once I repot them next week, I'm going to tie them down as they prepare to flip to 12/12. This thread did it for me. With my limited space (wardrobe...

    Stealth Closet Perpetual OG Kush

    Assembled some of my supplemental lighting today. I didn't feel the 96w T5 was enough. In the photo the CFLs are 23w (100eqw) but I'll have a couple 40w (150eqw) lights in there when I hang it. The mothers looked a little stretchy to me after topping and taking clones, but I'm finding each...

    Stealth Closet Perpetual OG Kush

    Just a couple photos, the 4 clones on the left are doing well, I am letting the one on the right live for now, but it doesn't seem as healthy, if it doesn't make it I won't sweat it, I'd be happy with 4 of 5 making it. Also a couple photos of the mothers. The more I think about it, the more...

    Stealth Closet Perpetual OG Kush

    I've made some progress on the nursery/mother rooms. I lined them with Mylar, ran power, installed lighting and 12v fans. I still need to run the ducting and actual vent fans, and lastly install the carbon filters. That should be done in a few days though. I took a couple more clones in case...

    Split leaves? Huh?

    I wasn't exactly alarmed, mostly surprised. When I Took my clones I strategically cut so I could save this leaf in a book. Kinda neat to look at.
