hi . if your using a 600w light (sodium bulb) metal film around walls, and a 2 speed fan..the grow room is 35c which is 94 f and is very hot. how could you make it cooler cez window is open and it is like a sauna but plants growing ok.

 

also the seeds are a week old how often do you water then etc?

 

any suggestions

hello spud

 

a two speed fan ain't gonna cut it with a 600 burning , you need to exchange the air mate ... pref one fan sucking the other blowing in .... only then you will have a chance of controlling your temps

 

seedlings ... depends what medium your growing in

 

cheers

would two fans make it any better because my friend has 2 fans a tower fan and a 2 speed fan and his temperature is the same in the cupboard and he ahs grown brilliant plants? the medium i am growing is is all mix from u-grow and the older plants that are 2 weeks old are starting to go yellow and curling up leafs?

Hey spud, good luck with your grow mate.

 

Also just working with the heat, extract it high, and bring the fresh air in low, or push it low.

 

Enjoy

so would 2 fans be better then and make it cooler?? i was gonna go buy a 3 speed fan but not sure ..where i live i can't use a extractor fan so that is out of the question. any idear what fan to get that would make it coller? also i am using ALL-MIX FROM U-GROW SHOP and was wondering how often i am suppose to water them cuz there only about a week old but my other 2 plants are 2 weeks odd and are one is starting to curl its leaves and go yelow but the inside 2 leaves are still healthy green?

 

any idears

i would be forgetting the fans and stay with what you have and get yourself an exhaust fan going to get rid of all ya hot air im putting in a toilet exhaust fan soon in the top of me wardrobe and that will work heaps well from what i've talked to people about

 

so keep ya fan blowing and get ya self an exhaust fan

 

hope this helps

so how does that work? where do i get one as i am in the uk?? does it need fixing up,drilling in etc or is it easy to set up? i am not sure you see cuz i am new to all this

[everest]

check out b & q if your in the uk , or uk420"s shop might stock fans , i just hang mine with rope and attach 150 mm ducting with tie wraps ....

 

the all mix should need re wetting every 2\3 days , just make sure the pots feel nice and light before watering .

so a second fan with 3 speed would make no difference at all to the heat in the room? they all seem to be growing good and my m8 has the same setup and temperatures and he gets massive plants so maybe they may like it.
