Walk in and look at your bath tub, the tub surround, now think flowering chamber.
Thats the size of it. For no apparent reason I get a call in the middle of the night last night, "the temp is going up". So I trouble shoot the obvious fan failure, blower failure, etc. No on all accounts. So I am here now.

temp is,



the "in" represents the temp near the display which is four inches above a 250 watt Feliz CFL.

The "out" is the temp probe in the flowering chamber, level with the canopy



The (2) 150 watt HPS lights are getting cold air (74*f) via the ac duct leading to a 4" duct booster fan









There is a Dayton 275 cfm blower on top the chamber pulling through a 12" carbon filter



There is a 6" Dayton Axial fan (235 cfm) blowing air into the chamber,



There are (2) 4" Massey fans blowing from underneath the canopy straight up through the canopy at the lights,





So can anyone tell me why I went from a nice 80*f temp to what you see in the first pic? I have a cheap humidity gauge and good old fashioned thermometer in the chamber also. Humidity is 22% and temp reading are 82*f ?!

WTF?!?!?!

They are only 150 watt HPS lights, they dont sell the adapters for this light to air cool.

The problem is my chamber hitting 86*f with all that equipment running, ac fed directly in and always on. ac boosted by 4" duct fan going in, dayton 6" fan blowing ambient air in (78*f) and a dayton blower sucking heated air and odors out. All this equiptment and I am still getting 86* temps?!
