this is not possible.the air outside is too hot and the a/c is gonna die trying to cool it down.

well im not sure what to tell you. everything ive read and been taught about enviroment says the air needs to be replenished every 5 mins to give the plants fresh air. but i think if you run co2 that can help but im not super informed on co2 systems yet. thats the next step:joint::mrgreen:

so what do i do?there are some people that believe you dont have to change air that often with a/c?may i let the door a bit opened or is not enough?well the temperature without the a/c was way too high like 95.and i had some spider mites so i dont wanna risk it.

If that is going to be your growing area you must deal with the temps. Otherwise your wasting your time growing b/c continued problems will cause poor grows. Just like putting a plant that is a shade plant in an area of direct sun. The plant will fail. Same with hear indoors....If you can't cool the area your in deep trouble. Appears some people in hot areas only grow in cool times of the year. you need a/c and air to circulate as starters. IF your new hear study up a couple months on every area on this site. Note design issues before spending time and money in this hobby. Think it thru bud...

Why not get an inline fan and duct fresh air to the grow space? If the AC cant cool down air, it's a shit AC is it not? That's what they're for!

its not the best a/c but can cool the place even if there is fresh air coming.the problem is that outside air is something like 95f and i am gonna pay really a lot cos the machine have to cool down new fresh hot air all the time.well i think i have something like 20 days to finish so maybe its not gonna be that bad.in greece where i am electrct is really expensive.GOD DAMNED FUCKIN CRISIS.everything is getting more and more expensive.

Damn, i didnt realise it's costs so much out there. A couple of weeks shouldnt really matter if you've been ok all this time.

They'll start to go yellow and droop and slow right down in growth.

No probs. Remember to get the right dilution of neem. Hopefully they'll start perking up from now on, if they havnt in a couple of days then maybe think about more air, or even some Co2 would be better than nothing.

Yeah, dont raise the humidity. You want it 50% or under for flowering, more like 35-40%.

You should be fine, just keep an eye out for any more mites and also be careful around the buds when your applying it to the leaves. Make sure it all dries properly :)

approx. 1 liter spray bottle- lid/cap full of Neem oil, Hydrojine peroxide, seaweed extract....fill with phed water...
