my room stays at a steady 90' I've got early skunk derban poison and a big bud x skunk is this too warm?? they seem to be doing allright but I dont want to stress too much I dont want hermies or anything like that. I've got a killer exaust,a 10 inch can fan and a charcoal filter so I cant pull the air too fast through the filter because I was told that if its set too high the air wont have enough time to scrub in the charcoal so any body got any tips on how I could drop the temp or if I should even worry. thanks in advance for the help budz
 
Yes 92 degrees is to hot. Roughly 70 to 75 degrees is optimal. You do not want to be colder but a few degrees more is not a problem. Much more though and you do get into problem territory. At temperatures over 85 degrees THC will begin to break down so if in flower your temperature is high that will hamper proper/good THC accumulation.

for now I'm just intrested in lots of growth to get clones I probably wont try to bud anything out for a couple months 3-5 ish so do you think that the heat stress might turn them hermie or slow their growth?thanks for the info friend:hump:
 
I believe it depends on the strain and weather or not your using Co2. If you keep the medium wet and have plenty of Light and supplement Co2 to at least 1500ppm 92 might be ok. Otherwise anything over about 85-90 could stop growth, stunt and shock the plant. I have also read that if you cool the roots to like 60-65 degrees it can handle hotter weather.
 
elaborate on your exhaust/ventilation system

what kinda lights are you running

are you running cooltubes? if so, are you exhaust the hot air out of the room?

I'm running a 400 watt hps and a 250 watt hps. my ventalation is a 6" canfan and a 14"canfilter with a 6"flange ducted out side.the room is 3x4 and 8 ' ceilings painted flat white.I was told to run the fan slow or the air will pass through the charcoal filter too fast and it won't clean the air propperly. I tryed to crank up the fan to full blast and it only brought the temp down to 88'

I had a much more detailed answer for ya but it logged me off when I tryed to post it. aghhhh
 
When ventilating a grow No amout of ventillation is going to cool a grow room anymore than ambient temperature. If its 85 degrees outside the grow area, expect it to be higher than that in your grow room. The only way to battle this is with an air conditioner
 
the out side air temp of my room is around 68'-75' give or take its nice and cool
 
itall depends on your setup. i run 82degress to 95 degressduring flower. if it was bad for my plant then i would not have pulled 385 grams plus off one plant. if you have plenty of freash air and air flow in your room high temps wont hurt.
 
If your outside air is 68-75 then that 6'' can fan should cool that room easily. Is the fan ducted through the lights or are you just exhausting the room alone?

I have the can fan mounted to the ceiling in the grow room and the can filter is about 12 inches above the lights with ducting to attach the two. then I have 6 inch duct that goes from the can fan to outside.I also have about 6 one liter bottles with yeast and sugar around the room

now that i think about it more do ya think it would help if i cut a large hole in the wall of the room close th the floor and maby it would help suck in more of the colder air outside the room?? my room is not enen close to air tight so i thought this would be good enough,just suckin air through the cardboard cracks and overlaped sections ,but most of the overlaps are above the hight of the plants do yas think this might help?? and if I do this anny sugestions on how to prevent light from gettin out the hole or when I bud them how to keep light from gettin into my room at dark time?? thanks again

could you explain why this is wrong.to me it makes perfect sence,the slower the air moves through the charcoal the more impurities get scrubed from the air. the faster the air passes through the charcoal the less time the charcoal is in contact with the contaminated air and inturn less oudor gets removed.

sorry for the delay.

Activated carbon is a mechanical filtration structure with a chemical adsorption surface. The molecules pass through the very porous material and certain molecules fix themselves within. You will have a rated capacity (not necessarily what is advertised) that will decrease with time as adsorption sites decline and the filter becomes clogged.

The capacity is a function of the mechanical filtration properties, not the chemical, which requires virtually no dwell time. You can 'over-blow' the filter, which will cause the filtered fluid (in this case, extracted air) to bypass the carbon particles (this is possible in some filters, depending on the medium packing structure)

My recommendation is to use your nose. It knows. ;)

Many/most commercial AC filters can be opened up (you may need to drill out rivets and use a rivet gun to close it back up) and the AC 're-activated.' Be sure to replace the pre-filter (best) or thoroughly wash it. The quality of your pre-filter is very important to the long-term effectiveness of the filter.
