tempreture hassles

[denske]

im having trouble keeping my temp down,, it seems when ever the wheather is hot like the last couple of days the cupboard temp rises, i have got 2 fans in their going hard, i set one both up to extract but found temps got worse, so one is extracting , one blowing it keeps it down a bit more but, temps still 29,30,31, i use a digi thermomter and its accurate, should i whack another fan in, i have one more, i original bought three, its gonna come into winter soon, an i dont think temp will be a prob then , but in the meantime, what effect does higher temps have on my little babies , overanout

hello, I wish I could be worried about those temps...where I am it'll frequently get up to 38 during the day and that outside,,,usually it's about 5-10 degress warmer in my future grow room...but I reckon this will be OK...Best grow experience I've ever had was in full sun in the middle of a lawn...must have been in tha 40's for that little plant and I used to get stoned every couple of days off it..

My grow room temps can sit in the low 30's during summer with no harm to the plants, 24 - 27 degrees is the optimum temp for best growth and yield but the plants can handle higher and lower temps.

oohh ok, cheers, once winter hits here it should be alright i cant see it being too hot, it might get too cold if anything, but thats a long time yet, just wondering if i was gonna do damage, for some reason i think everything little aspect will majorly affect my indoor grow,man i used to never worry about the outside plants, just give em water every few days, an nutes once a week, an i had no worrries, now im peaking out if temp goes up a degree, an i dont even wanna start worrying about ph,,, overanout

Have you considered running the "day" cycle during the night? And vice versa? I live in Perth so the temps can get pretty nasty in summer, but most nights its pretty similar to the day temps in winter! It helped me get around the temp issue.....

 

Just a thought....

hi

my room frequently hits the 40's in summer. hey, it gets up to 40+ f outside so my tin shed is unbrearable with 880 wts of light as well!.

I run lights at night, off in day to ease temp. I use two inline computer type fans for exhaust & incoming air. Exhaust duct near top of growroom as heat rises. I have incoming air vent directed via duct tubing to the back of a room fan to spread the cooler air around.

 

I have never had any probs or any perish. They seem to slow right down in excessive heat but survive ok.

 

I find it easier to keep room warmer than cooler. In winter just use a small electric heater with thermostat temp control. This is important if you have really fat buds as I had some went mouldy on the plant due to excessive moisture in the cood shed air. Remember that warm air can hold / absorb a far greater amount of moisture or water vapour than cool air which can lead to excess moisture probs & mould on buds.

 

Hope that makes sense & helps
