damn boy its hot as shit in there. are you trying to do anything about that at all? no way those plants will stay healthy w those temps. the humidity is even worse brother how long you been running it like that? you need to turn that CFL off at the very least and get some ventilation going asap.

in fact it looks like that space is pretty small my man. maybe that 400w needs to come out. what does your CFL look like? 85w .. that should be enough for now man you should turn that HPS off untill you can get a lower wattage HPS bulb or some a/c crackin in that bitch cus i dont see those plants performing well at all with the humidity so dry and the temps over 100.

excellent questions, as we have our heat waves I take them out during day. Recent heat and humidity have 101OG, Chocolope, Fire Og now outside, pic August26-2012.jpg. I have a fan, air circulator, large carbon filter/ 240 cfm outtake fan. the reading was hot because had not yet run system long. I have a MH 250W Vert OFF for now, this 400W is cheap and very good. $110, light, easy to keep cool. . .

the 85 puts out 450W daylight, the 65W 300=320W of flowering 2700. I use them on top of plants that are stretching, or finishing. The last 2-3 weeks 400W HPS, 250MH vertical and spot cfl placement. CFLs run cold. . . Thank you for watching and I appreciate any comments or Q's. I have much more space, 4x4x6.5 tent, to adjust plants out as they grow. Come along for a grow. . .

ahhh.. ok. this picture is starting to come into focus now..

slighty. lol. why do you put them outside if your capable of keeping your space cool enough? do you just prefer the natural to the artificial?
