Had to move the drivers to the outside of the room. It was topping 88F. Now its only gotten up to 74 after letting it sit for 5 hours. We will see how temps hold for a 24hr cycle, but it looks promising.

Good job !
Check where I bought the piece to hang?
Are you asking where I got that? Its just the hangers off my old hps hood. You can buy them seperate though.

Temps and rh after 18 hours. Gonna need a dehumidifier, any ideas on size?? Never needed one before... im kn the desert so it hardly ever ges over 25% outside. Maybe I can just vent if I can light proof it?

you can get an idea on dehuy size by the amount of water you are putting on the plants.so if you use 30 pints a day to water them you will need at least a 30 pint dehuy to remove extra water from the air.but if you have a humidity problem in that spot already you need to account for the extra square footage. i run a 70 pint unit for a 12 x 20 x 9,5 h area with 16 full size plants and it keeps up fine but it also has a hose and pump for water removal so i never have to worry about dumping the water tank,so it works all night without pause.temps could use to be a bit higher imo,but the plants look fine so prob fine.

The last pic the 1 on the right in the back..keep a eye on that...
Thats an ogkb pheno thats been like that its whole life. The cut is growing normally under t5's so Im guessing it doesn't like intense light which is common for ogkb. Thats why i have it back in the corner... trying lower light for her :)

Increase your ventilation and you should be fine. I wouldn't worry too much about it until you get into flower though, then you want to stay below 50%.
Thought about this but Im trying to keep the room sealed. Id have to figure out how to keep it light proof too, any ideas other than those expensive light proof vents?

Ok cool, thats what Ive been reading. Right now Im only using about 2 gallons per day, but that will change as flower progresses. A friend of mine actually recommended 70 pint, but that sounds like way more than I need. Maybe it will be a good idea to jist go bigger than I need to be safe. $150 for a cheap one though... damn. Oh well... Im gonna need it.

Sealing the room introduces more issues - you'll need to supply them with CO2. Vents merely need a light baffle - easy enough thing to make.

I agree with 6string, i think youll want your temps up a bit... I struggled with temps at the beginning of my first run here with cobs.. I think 78-80 is were i have mine now and there loving it.. I had experienced some slow growth at around 70.. I was always trying to get rid of the heat with hps, now i had to add a heater to my tent...
Cheers

Running lights + heater would you call it a wash with your HPS?

I didnt upgrade my lights for electricity savings per say, as power is pretty cheap here.. I just hated having 1 light source trying to blanket 10 plants.. And i hated having the extraction fan running non stop, ballast fans running, bulb changes, etc, etc... My low temps are also happening as i am only doing 4 plants right now and am only running one panel.. Once both panels are up and going i dont think the heater will kick on at all.. With one panel around 300-350w , my tent stays at about 22c, I've found that the girls like 25c..I have one of those heavy duty canvas tents(called premium canvas), and it seems to hold the temps in well.. Ive only had it come on once while ive been in the tent.. I bought one of those inkbird temp controllers that u plug a heater in and you extraction fan and it will regulate whatever temp u want... They work fantastic..
Cheers
