My room is really hot help please

[SmokeyB]

I got 2 600w HP's lights a big fan and a carbon filter but room seems really hot would a mister help if I had one on with digital timer so it turns on for humidity isit to hot means needs more humidity

 

[Tunkers]

What's too hot? Got some temps? Or humidity % ?

What size tent? 2 x 600hps would be quite warm but cannabis loves the heat. And you are correct in saying you'll need higher humidity to make them more comfortable in that heat. Will want it way less during flower though to avoid mould

Hi Ljb1, we need more info before anyone can give a good answer. Such as....how big of a space? What size fan do you have? How do you have the ducting? Even a few photos will help! Lots of good people here to help, but you gotta help them help you!

MJ stops growing at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Humans are more tolerant to heat than our favorite plants.
And constant heat stress will cause reduced weight and THC content.

Humidity is as damaging ... maybe more.

You gotta do something to get the temps down. Add more AC, more fans. It is so hot were I live and work that I had to put a sprinkler on the roof of my grow building - it's on a timer and goes on at 11am and off at 6pm.
I set the lights to trim as the temps rise ... but lowering light to 60% or so for hours at a time costs ... yea, you guess it ... weight and THC content.

I dunno what to tell you except to spend money and get more AC.

I set my room for temps to be below 85F, and RH of 40%.

House fan? Or ducting Fan? If it's a house fan, a upgrade to an actual inline fan, or two may reduce a lot of your heat issue(s).

Edit- forgot to add something. Don't use humidity to control temps...short term gain with long term pain

I've got another big fan for house I'm going to take down and put another filter fan to pull air from completey other room as I have split a room with dpc an stuck garage door insulation to get silvery effect I'm guna go back to tents next time for sure easier to control

 

[Auggie]

Fans don't lower the temp in a room ... in fact, some kinds of fans can increase the temps.

You need to extract the heat out off your grow room. Use a centrifugal extraction fan and some ducting. 200mm will probably be big enough for your 2sq room maybe Evan a 250mm extraction fan. Pump the hot air outside so it can't get back In Your room

 

[Southerncough]

Agreed, unless you're removing the hot air from the tent the plants are sitting in an oven

 

[SmokeyB]

The room is split oil take some pics today it's not the best set up I tryed going big with what I had to use next time I'm guns get a cookie 3m tents or 2m tents so much easier to control I got it pumping hot air out room down the stairs n IL try get intake from room with window open

 

[Stoned Ape]

If u can get the ballasts for the lights outside the tent helps alot. Need long cable but.

 

[SmokeyB]

They are put side anyway to scared it catch fire inside the room

 

[Stoned Ape]

I struggled with heat with 1 600watt hps in a 5x3 tent. Got some quantum boards. Solved the problem. Good lights too. The pl

ants dig em.

 

[Southerncough]

agreed, if you can save up a few $$ some quantum board LEDs would eliminate your heat issues.
If you're not ready to let the HPS go maybe you could squeeze them into some cool tubes?

 

[SmokeyB]

I'm thinking of air cooled hoods next as I just got normal hps air cooled would make a difference with alot of heat?

 

[Chimora Ranger]

You need an extraction fan venting hot air from the TOP.

 

[SeniorMoments]

Yep . You need an Inline 6” exhaust fan vented to exterior w/ filter and any AC exhaust should also be tied into It as well .
After battling the heat ( high 90’s outside ) the garage and grow room were staying in mid 80’s with a garage door slightly open and fans blowing out. It wasn’t working.
I added the above and damn temps are back down in the 70’s

PULL AIR OUT OF YOUR TENT... DO NOT PUSH AIR IN. JUST LET THE COLD AIR BE SUCKED IN...
