New lights

Sparkster79 · Wednesday at 9:26 AM

I have got a new light from Spider farmer.
I have upgraded from the old King plus blurples, which I did get quite good results from. I'm wondering what the best way to raise temp in tent. With the old ones heat wasn't an issue but this new one isn't getting my tent anywhere near as warm. I'm in a tent in the loft the plants are only 3 days out of the soil. I'm running an inline extractor venting straight out the tiles. Fitted tile extraction points. Pulling air in from one of the other vent fresh from outside. Would it be better to pull the hot air in from the loft itself and leave the intake vent open so it can still suck in fresh air. I'm just sucking fresh air in passively. Do I need the extractor fan on permanently whilst the light is on or just have it come on intermittently to replace the stale air. Like I said they are only babies. And before the old lights got the temp just right. Any help

I don't like pulling air from the outside (too moist when it rains, temperature fluctuations)
I'd say just pull the air from inside the room, as long as the extracted air goes somewhere else.
Adds stability to your environment AND it's easier to manipulate.

Yeah, skip the intake from outside .

Then if still needed add a speed controller to the fan to slow it down.

Or in the meantime you can get a digital timer and run the fan for a minute every five or ten..
Though obviously you need to see how that affects your humidity too

You leave it on always you don't turn it off unless your gonna run the exhaust on a timer but I wouldn't I run mine the whole grow it's never off regardless of lights on or off bud

I have a spiderfarmer se5000. I need to pull in outside air during cooler months, to cool my tent down. I have both intake and exhaust fans. I set my ac infinity controller for the temp i want, then set my desired vpd. The controller takes care of controlling temp and humidity for me.
