    if the heat is all built up naturally then no amount of exhaust will cool if outside temps are the same you know. Ive never heard of a CFL grower having heat issues, so if your ambient air temp is high 90's your probably going to need to condition your air. Lots of growers build completly enclosed off insulated environments for these and other beneficial reasons. Indoor growing of quality stuff is costly-----unless you have all this stuff in a tiny ass air tight box chillin up in the poll barn...then yea you should probably cut a hole in the top and add exhaust...thats the cheapest method....13 dollar bathroom exhaust fan from your local hardware, or if it needs more, then 20 dollars for a 4" booster fan from lowes, or if needing more then 75 for a small squirrel cage from your local hydro shop or online store, and if you need more air removal than that then you should have enough money and experience already invested to have complex ducting and inline fans and such...

    hey........
  4. OK, so I have a heat prob. Everytime I look in on my box, its about 90 deg in the box until i open the door and it vents out a lil bit. I took two bulbs out, now I'm only running 4 26W 6500K at an 18/6 schedule, My exhaust fan is blowing air, my little fan I have blowing on my crop is running, but it still gets to about 88 sometimes 91 peak during the day(did i mention this setup is upstairs in a pole barn? Could the heat generated up there be affecting my temps? It gets kinda stuffy up there, but its the only spot I have right now. Is there a CHEAP way to cool off my box w/o spending a whole lot of $?

Update!!!

by simplesmoke81 on 07-05-2010 at 06:05 PM
Back after what feels like forever...Sorry i neglected you journal...But anyhow, after alot of WTF's and tuning everything up, I started with 12 sprouts under 6 26 watt 6500 K CFL's in the upstairs of a pole barn(BIG MISTAKE, Heat was TOO much) which is prob why this NOOB lost 3 babies within the 1st four days. And last week I start looking at my plants and I've got male preflowers all over the place! I switched to 12/12 right away and within 3 days I knew which plants were male for sure.

Here we grow...

Ok, so I'm pretty new to this, but I've done my homework...ALOT OF HOMEWORK!!! I have a "bugeted" CFL setup in a 2x2x3.5 box (I basically put it together from all the other ones I reasearched) After a week of planning and shopping, it was finally made operational this weekend. I have 6 26W-100 watt equivelant 6500K running 24 hrs a day, but no 2700k. Should I have a few in there from the start? I've got my 12 sprouts under all that light, everything seems to be goin well, 85 deg/50
