I have two plants both maui waui in my 2.5 by 1 and two inch cabinet. the one on the right i think is shocked because she was closer to the fan (before i switched them today) and was recieving constant air, but at the same time by box heats up up to 93 degrees, Any ideas on how to cool it down without the plants getting affected? also any ideas on how to get my plant growing again? she hasnt changed in over two tays im starting to worry. any input will be greatly apreciated.



Im running 6 26 watt cfls.

As far as the heat problem goes, you may need to adjust your fan set up and your exhaust set up. The air may not be moving in the right directions to work its way out of the box.

Nice Super Nintendo by the way, have not seen one of those in like 10 years. I miss it.

Be patient with the babies, some days they just explode and some days they just chill out. What kinda light cycle do you have them on right now, i dont remember if you put that in your post or not? Soil? Watering?

is that tinfoil? that can be part of the heat reason.

I agree, Super Nintendo = massive respect, best years of my gaming life, xbox et al can't touch it.

as far as heat goes, its all about the ventilation. get that hot air out of there and you'll be fine. doing that isn;t always as easy as it sounds though. can you eave the door open? or will this let light in? can you use a stronger outtake fan? have you got good intake flow etc etc.....

In the pic you can see how much my other plant has outgrown my weak one. They are both the same strains. What do you think guys? is it time to go hps? :neutral:

i got a similar setup and when it gets a little warm in there 85+ I will spray the top of the soil with a mist from a spray bottle and itll drop the temps 5-10 degrees for a couple hours
