Haha thanks for the love :)

It's what comes form being made redundant and therefore have too much time on my hands XD
And I know the one your talking about but cant remember for the life of me what it was either I'm sure it had an British presenter for some reason!

o_O I'm having a wack problem... I got a fancy 6" clip on fan... yay!... 15 mins into a light cycle for testing purposes, the motor overheats in the fan and slows right down not even blowing... great... it works again once it's cooled down but the same problem next test.

More than enough space... fan should be ok but always go for something bigger/better if you can.. my space is depth x 38cm, height x 80cm, width x 60cm and temps are at a stable 25-30*C. My fan is about 425 CFM give or take probably closer to 400 CFM, but the small cab does make it more difficult.

Thanks man, this is my third try indor and first whit autos the both plants are autoflowering, Afghan kush and Pakistanian ryder in the end of week 5 from seed! I have serious problem whit the heat these dont like temp over 28* C (82*F)and had PH problem also I changed the soil on the second week because wasnt good enaught and now here they are! They are on 50 sm(20") from the bulb and I feeding them ones a week. The plants growing in the closet whit 3 fans one - out, one-in, and one straight to the tops for saving them from the HPS.

Can I ask about the feeding, on my fertilizer recomended dose is 2 ml for 1L water for every week, I giving it to them ones a week can I split the dose and feeding them twice a week ..?

Too much time? There is no such thing lol. No problem, you deserved a shout out imo. Yeah it's driving me nuts not remembering the name, it was a pretty good one too gah!!

Defective fan maybe? A 6 inch shouldn't do that, at least not that I've known? Other than that, my best guess is too much positive pressure or negative pressure. I don't see how negative pressure would do that though. I'll figure out the numbers later. I have a small 8 inch box fan and a small 4 inch clip on in my bigger tent and they've never over heated. So one 6 inch fan over heating is pretty strange to me. Where do you have the fan?

What nutes are you using? Depending on brand you can usually do a watering with just plain water between feeds. Some brands you can feed every feeding, so it really depends on what you're working with.

Thanks, there can be such a thing as too much time, it's kinda painful when you get there though lol.

Seems to have sorted itself out now, I drilled some more/bigger passive intakes and it's sorted everything right out, I took the guard off the front as well but so far it hasn't overheated again. Last time I think it was on low and too close to the light now it's on high and quite close but it blows the heat away more efficiently so problem solved... touch wood XD

You should be able to split the dose to 1 ml per half liter a feed.

Lol haven't gotten there yet then.

It seems like it was a pressure issue, glad you got it sorted out.
