Just a quick question about my room temp and ballast

hey guys,

I have 8 White Widow, 2 Vanilla Kush, and 2 acapulco gold that I started from seed. They are 24 days old. I started veg under CFL's. I just recently switched to 600w MH for the rest of my veg.

under the CFL's the temp was always between 76-79 degrees and 39-44% Humidity (lights on). Since I have switched to MH i can't get my temp below 85.5 degrees. and my Humidity is 29-34%.

Is this going to be a problem?
Do you think I should move the ballast to the outside of my room to help lower temp?



Here are my stats:
Room: 4x5x6
Light: 600MH
Light Height From Canopy: 20 inches
Vent OUT: 160cfm inline exhaust fan with carbon filter
Vent IN: Large .21A/120v computer fan
Room Vent: 2 oscillating Fan
Medium: ProMix
Pot Size: 1 gallon for now
Nutes:
Feed1 - Cal Mag, SuperThrive, Liquid Karma
Feed2 - Pure Blend Pro Grow, SuperThrive
Feed3 - Water ph 6-6.5

*all nutes feed at 50-75% of recommended dosages.


Here is a pic. Thanks for the help.IMG_0733.jpg

First of all, very nice looking plants M8.

I would say yes to moving the ballast out of the room and trying to keep it under 80 unless you are running a CO2 setup. CO2 allows the plants to tolerate higher temperatures than normal.

I keep mine right at 78 during lights on and drop it to 65 during lights out and all is well so far. (first grow)

Peace and Great Grows

Thx Man

I noticed they are drying out quicker. I think that this from the low RH level. Not sure......Anybody out there?
