Hello everyone,
I am new to this site and getting ready to start my first indoor, DWC grow. Here's my problem.
I have a 5x5x7 tent with a 400 watt hps in an air cooled hood. I got a 4" inline fan
And a 4" carbon filter. So the exhaust is piped from the filter to the hood and from the
Hood to the fan, and then the duct from the fan runs into the attic
To an attic vent. I have central AC, so I piped that into the tent. I the started running everything
To see what kind of temps I was going to get. With the lights on I was getting a fluctuating
Temperatures between 75 and 81. I think the fluctuations are do to the AC going off
And on. Is it okay to have fluctuations like this?
I decided that I wanted to add side lighting so I added one 26 watt cfl
in each corner of the tent. My temps jumped up to A fluctuating temp of 84 and 91 degrees with the AC.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this? I really wanted to try the
To have some side lighting, should I forget about the side lighting? What if I got a bigger
Fan? I will post some pics this weekend. I really appriciate any advice you guys can give.
