Cooling Issues

thomasttech · #1 06-30-2008, 12:29 AM

Hi to all in the forum,

Heres a quick question:

Temps outside are around 35 - 38 degrees Celcious (and will be rising over the next 2 months).
No matter how good ventalation is with my 1 65watt cfl and 4 42 watt PL cfls, temps in closet are around 35 degrees C.

Has anyone used a compact or small A/C to help with temps ?
if so any brands, or info to help out

P.S. Closet is around 6 ft tall X 5 ft wide and 3 ft deep.

Freeze a bottle full of water and put it in your grow room, it's a temporary fix that works a tiny bit.

I'm sorry guys, but 35 degrees is waaay too hot! They will stretch like mofos. They may survive, but you will not get what you want from the plants.

Thanks Allot for the tip!

the "temporary" fix atually is double help, it dropped the temp by 4 degrees C and raised the humidity about 8-9 percent!!

Great idea, all I have to do is change the bottle every 8 hours (or get a huge bottle )

Put a small AC Unit in the closet. End of story.
