whats up fellow botanist. im currently growing 1 og kush clone in a 2'x2'x5' closet. im flowering with 190w of cfl's and will be adding another 60w this week. im currently at day 4 of flowering and temps are on average 88 day and 74 night. thats with no fans to move air and no exhaust. well i think air circulation is verry important but when i run a fan it rises my temps by like 6 degrees. why is that? i have 2 4" pc fans that i plan to use as exhaust fans. but i dont know what to wire them to to plug into a stanard 110 outlet. can i just splice any cords and connect that simply or do i need some sort of 12v adapter or something along those lines? if so where can i find them?

I think you know what the problem is.
You need an intake and an exhaust.
The computer fans would work.
About splicing them, not sure tho.

i wouldnt splice either man. circulating air within the closet isnt going to lowers temps. like he said, an intake and exhaust.

You tell him not to splice but than tell him he needs intake and outtake. He wants to use the cpu fans for intake and outtake, thus meaning he would have to splice the wires to wire them up correctly...

You will need a 12v adapter for the fans, you can find them at radio shack

Just splice the wires on the adapter and fan and wire them up, I would use some wire nuts.
BongJuice if you want to call me out at least read my posts lol :dunce:
