    Default heat issues

    i have a grow box in my basement.its about 90-95 degrees in there with the fans on.i have curious neighbors and two teenagers.anything that makes noise is out of the question.i ve heard co2 helps,but i have'nt the faintest idea how to make that happen.could i put a cup of ice in there every so often?i've been an avid gardener for many moons,but never indoors.i need passive solutions.for gods sake i need help before summer really hits.

    What kind of lights are you using maybe you could get a cool tube reflector.

    what about smell ?

    dont you have a outtake of some kind ?

    sumthing like this:

    combosmallsite.jpg


    also comes in smaller size .. and some a bit more expensiv that dont make much sound .. even some realy expensiv boxes that dont make any noise .. but then we are talking +1K $ .. that one ther is like 200$ with filter .. can get the smallest 100mm with a small filter for maybe 120$ runn it at low if ther are two settings .. see if it is enough .. or els on high .. use some tubings and isolate em so they dont make so much noise .. but if noise is what your worry about .. the smell will be a hugh surprize for you ...


    my 100mm ventiltion and filter made my room drop from 90 to 82-84F and did clear all the realy bad male cat like piss stink I had in all of my appartment after 4-5 weeks ..
    Take my advice !! ... I dont use it anyway ...

    I made a homeade co2 Attachment 2217948 the formula I use is

    in a 1 gallon jug
    2 cups of sugar
    1 pack of dry active yeast
    1 tsp of baking soda
    warm tap water 1/2 full

    Seperate jug
    tap water

    get some hoseing from hardware store go from gallon jug into the water of the second jug, then from that jug into your area. you can just leave the top off if this will be in you box(unlike mine). I run my output hose to the back of my fan to disberse the co2. shake the shit out of the bottle with the mixture. should put off co2 for 1-2 weeks.only use co2 in the light hours
    I hope this help you!this is 2 1/2 weeks in flowerAttachment 2217964Attachment 2217965

    i have a phototron.it is a six sided gizmo,but the sides aren't equal.it's roughly equivilant to a 16 to 17 inch cylindar thats about 3 ft. tall.it's kinda cramped.its in the only part of my house that no one else will go.i'd have to run new electric for an ac unit.it would also start the neighbors wondering why the hell i'm air conditioning an unoccupied part of the house.my gizmo has intake/exaust fans.i was planning on jury rigging a filter of some sort when the time comes.so i'm not too concerned about smell.whatever i do doesnt have to be completely silent,but i dont want too much noise.if i put co2 in there i guess my exaust would have to vent outside?do you stop the hose up during the dark hours?

    I pull the hose out of the box. if you look at the pic there is a hole next to the power cord that my power runs through. in dark hours I cover the holes with a blanket. this is just temp till my real rooms are done being built. but yes stop the co2 at night. I don't know why thats just wha I was told. I think it chokes the plant but not sure. if you have a room just pull it out of there before your dark time.

    can you put pics of your set up. I don't understand your "gizmo". is it a grow box or a air circulater. if you are cramped for space run a hose to the back of your fan.
    oh if no one will go to this place then they most likly wont hear the ac anyways
