No, because it would just blow hot air back in? I need an AC of some sort, but space is limited.

 

[Pennywise]

Ill probably need one soon

Central air for the win lol. As long as my room stays cool I tend to be ok.

Kinda glad i went with cobs you guys are talking about getting rid of it im still tryna figure out how to get my fixture to produce it lol

Lol. Im interested to see PerfectSun's COB.

My girl looks sad, heat slowing her growth. Need to nip this issue in the bud asap.

I added some ice in a bucket with fan blowing in for now. Will come up with a better (no additional power) cooling solution tomorrow. Ha.

 

[Pennywise]

Ill be dealing with heat soon. .

If I had the space, I'd just toss a small AC, but I have to be creative. I'm going to buy a some materials tomorrow.

I tied her down a bit to let some lower bud sites develop and hopefully open some air flow.

Nice lst set up

Thanks bud. Im trying to not train Much during early bloom, as you stated you wished you tucked less at this point.

She's sleeping now, can't wait to see her wake up at 6pm. I hope she bounces back.

 

[Pennywise]

Just cant help but think if i let them go vertical sooner how much more i would have yielded. I had vertical space going to waste too.

Thanks for the advice. You'll have an incredible harvast this time. Not to say your last one wasn't amazing.

I'll build something like this today, with frozen water bottles. See if it helps keep my temps around 75.

In the video, this litte gizmo pushed out 42F.

 

[Pennywise]

Ive thought about that diy chiller myself

 

[VexGrows]

I'll let you know if it works out.

 

[Pennywise]

Ok cool, ill need something in a couple months that doesnt use electricity.

Built this little bad boy. It's a bit ghetto, but will be improved.

So far it's dropped the temps about 8-10 degrees with just 2 trays of ice. I'll monitor it some more, too early to tell.


Also bought 12 of these "Chillers" which are currently in the freezer. I hope 6 at a time will help reduce the temps even more. Crossing my fingers....or my plant will die soon.

What is the temp of the water in your buckets? If you are havinh trouble keeping it down. Get some water bottles and freeze them and drop one in each tank that should help with cooling

 

[VexGrows]

Thanks man. I've been tossing a frozen bottle in my 1 bucket daily. Seems to help, temps stay around 65-70.

Appreciate the advice!

I thought perfect PH was suppose to keep it balanced? My PH climbed to 8.1. Just added some PH down. At 5.7 now.

I wonder if I did something wrong when mixing the nutes? I used distilled water.

Re: 1st Grow - Ebb & Flow - 2x2x7 - 2 Strains - Training & Cloning - 2017

Fuck this heat!! I'm still having issues, can't seem to keep it lower than 85-95....due to location.

I may chop this bitch down, reconfigure and start fresh.

I have an Auto NYC Diesel bean to pop which will still give me a decent harvast in 2 months....

Fuck!

Re: 1st Grow - Ebb & Flow - 2x2x7 - 2 Strains - Training & Cloning - 2017

Should I see if she survives, or chop?

Preflowers? Lol

I'm going to try to vent the tent a bit more, hope it helps.

Checked my thermometer's Min/Max, and it reads 74/107. Shit!
