First Growroom Evaluation / Advice

So I upped the bill and bought a 6" inline fan, then I noticed it was causing one of my 120mm fans to spin in reverse, it needed that much intake and I guess I just didn't have enough, made the intake hole twice as big and it's still sucking like a champion... So the passive airflow seems to be ok.. Last recorded temperature was 84 degrees but I'm testing now to see if that climbs anymore. :) getting closer and closer!

your going to have to lower the temp of the sorrounding room. the temperature of the air coming in needs to be lower then. this is the danger of grow boxes. unaircooled lights in such a small space is a no-no. look into a 6" cooltube. you wont lose much height but your temps will be reduced drastically. gotta spend money to make money.

ya loose the 120mm fans even on the intake, i use stronger fans to cool my computers.

I've grown in a similar sized space with an uncooled hood @ 400w. You can fit 4 to 6 small plants no priblem, an should be able to harvest 6 to 8 oz. You just need a decent fan. Don't get a crappy duct fan, get a real fan that will push at least 190cfm.

I have a thermometer on the outside of the box as well, 66 degrees outside and now it is 82 in the box. I don't think it's getting any hotter then that.

Weve actually been experiencing extreamily hot for the time temperatures riding in the mid eighties... Not saying its going to get hotter but the area it's located is almost always the same temperature year-round
