nice man....your plants will love you for that HPS :mrgreen: Looking good!

Yeah man, once it's sealed with glass temps will drop even more as much less heat will escape from your hood. Your extractor will take it all away. Should give you text book temps man! :blsmoke:

yeah man...4mm toughened/tempered glass is what you want. Or so I read somewhere. The hood that I got came with the glass, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Mine are coming along v nicely thanks. Slow and steady. But yep, close to harvest now! :mrgreen:

Those temps are obviously not ideal, but you should be fine for a few days. Don't worry too much, just make sure you give them plenty to drink to compensate for the hotter temps.

the girls have been awake for a few hours now, and the temps are 31c or 88f! i knowit way too hot but it doesnt seem to trouble the girl.... and it only for as couple of days i guess.
NL#1 is coming along nicely, and the buds are fattening up daily :)
NL#2 its not as tall as NL#1, but is extremly compact.... i think this is due to being root bound! ( anyone else think this could be the reason?)

and now the pics :)
