My 1st grow in the closet.

Welcome to my Grow Journal. Sorry the picture quality is bad (cell phone)

Here is my Hydro System

One of the plants got stretched.plant#1

Plant #2 got nute burned

Plant #3

They have been growing for about 2 1/2 weeks. We planted 5 (bag seeds) and only the three sprouted. They were on 4 150w cfl's. I just changed it to my 600W MH. Now we have heat problems and humidity problems.
I just bought a exhuast fan (dayton 131 CFM) and got it setup. I used ducts to draw the air out from near the light hood. And the exhaust is going out the door. We cant cut through the celling. But the temp still ranges from 95-100. as aposed to 120 before we had the exhuast fan. Our Humidity is now 25-30. We put a dish of water on top of the system to increase the humidity. The closet is about 2X3X8 on either side of the central column. I "sorta" covered it in some 1 mil Mylar. I have both 600w MH and HPS.

I need some help if anyone has any Ideas

btw I know I shouldnt have added nutes.

how hot i the space without the light on? it sounds like you are going to need some kind of cooling system given your temps. options range from diy containers of ice in front of a fan to a swamp cooler (would increase your humidity) to an airconditioner. if you use a portable airconditioner you will also drop your humidity.

its about 95-102 temp and 27 humidity with light on, and its 86 and 56 humidity with the lights off. Should I leave my exhuast fan on while they are in darkness? I found you can get a little swamp cooler from newegg for about 40 bucks.

Thanks for the info man
