I have no expierince with those lights only led. But I would say having both bulbs air cooled by the 6 or 8" fan will give you a fighting chance. I know that it's harder to try to cool air than to just remove the heat. So however you decide to go about it, I would try to get the heat out of the grow. might be tough to do that out that window and it be quiet tho. Post you exact setup again nice and organized explained and pictures. Make it simple in your explanation and maybe you'll come across someone with more experience wih your problem.

I know I need to get it figured out before summer and flower though.

Setups 7x7x6 pretty much.
In my cold cellar framed and insulated.

2 1ks.. One being exhausted through it from filter and outside small window

One non air cooled.

Intake is bottom of door 8x8 hole. Outside room temp is 72 ( laundry room)

One light running temps are 78-82.

Two lights jumps to 93..

I'm in a jam of what to do to make this work.

I meant maybe start a new tread. just cause new eyes will see it. I don't want to try to give you any advise cause I don't want to send you in the wrong direction. So take it or not. It may not be useful. I think getting that heat out is gonna be your solution. I don't think you should need to run an ac growing in your cellar. I think that maybe finding a high powered squirrel cage fan or something that has an opening the same size as your window hole. Like this.. It may or may not be more efficient at removing the hot air than using that 6" duxt coming off the light hood and it being squeezed even smaller at the window hole. You have one light hood with 6" duct flanges and a 6" fan. I think getting a light hood with 8" duxt flanges for your other light and using your 8" fan for that one. Blow them both out the window with carbon filters attached or the 6" out the window and the 8" upstsirs. Gotta get that heat away from the grow.

But this is why I may be wrong and you should start a new tread based only on your heat issue. Cause simply runnin a portable ac unit outside the grow and blowing in the grow rolm. And having just the Exaust you have setup now exausyijg the room to outside might be enough to solve it. I don't have enough experience to say

I would wait just a little longer only because this is the first pic where they were all perked up and look happy. Let em ride out fr another couple days then top them. They'll recover faster. I top mine at that size in hydro but the roots are probably triple the size yours are at that point.

Take it slow man. This is your first grow. Let the plants do their thing so you can learn. The soil looks pretty moist also. Gotta make sure your letting it dry almost bone dry before watering again.

And waiting a bit longer to top is better than doing it too soon. Like I said my hydro plants are plenty strong because they have such big roots. Your soil plants are probably a bit more fragile.

Could hardly see the pic but they look great now man. Let them grow. Top em if you want maybe a day or two after you water them next. They'll be good. But use a razor blade or very sharp scissors that will give a clean cut. Clean them with rubbing alcohol before cutting just in case. Cut just barly below the top two leaves. Cutting just above a node. Make sure not to cut too close to the nose or you may damage where new shoots come out.

I think you moving the light away is why they look happier. And yea charge that shit lol. But if you are banking on making your money back I wouldnt. You may not for a long time. Depends on how you grow and are learning. I'll be trimming my first grow harvest a little later I'll throw up some pics

Yea but it's winter and you have heat problems now. Wait till summer. And you always under estimate. 15 females? Female seeds? Say only half survive and turn out to be female. i bought all that I did knowing Id make my money back. But it's hard to sell pounds for me. Is be surprised if you got a pound out of that off your first grow. But well see. I'll be watchin it. Keep us updated
