can someone help me! Temperature too high

Hey guys so I'm running a carbon filter to 6"fan through light and out in a 4x4x8 tent my temperature is sitting at Around 34.c or 93f and my humidity is sitting at 54%, only 2nd week of veg is this going to damage my growth? The temperature outside is around 30c in Queensland atm!

sounds like you need some AC

Hmm as in putting a portable ac and tube it into the tent?

Got your fan going & try get some cool air in there man

Maybe up size your fan

No diss to Anyone however, I grew 8 foot tall sativas in Arizona desert highest temperature was 112 for approximately 11 days straight. They were growing outside granted virtually no humidity was my first grow still got lots of poundage I hate to say it but I'm not all sold on the high humidity. Although I am keeping my own indoor at 61% humidity and between 75 and 82 temperature sounds like a big swing but look at the pictures should speak for itself.

hey island do you have any pics to post that would help!not that you have a major problem or anything doesn't sound like that.

34 not bad it not good I am down in vic some my rooms got to over 43 this summer.
Just make sure that the strain of the plant you are using will handle the heat good luck

is 34c @ the canopy?
if so just raise the lights

Queensland would be one of hardest place to grow indoors. They have a very high rain fall its very hot and humidity is all ways very high.

You could freeze 1 gallon or 2 liter bottles full of water and then place the frozen bottles in your tent with a fan blowing on it.

You'll need to have others freezing too and swap them out.

Could drop 5 degrees f

I'm running into the same problem. I may attach a ducting system to my ceiling ac unit to run into my tent. But my plants are actually enjoying the 83 degrees F right now. So I'm watching them closely to make sure the heat isn't too much for them. I may also have to move my extracting ducting to another room to get the temp down.

COB light has less heat then HPS for same output so that may solve ur problem
VG

I would like to get a closed MH lamp that doesn't exhaust heat into the tent but runs through ducting. But they are $200 more expensive than what i have now. Im waiting until after my 1st or 2nd harvest to upgrade to LED or MH.

Yeah man, I've heard of people growing all the way up in cairns on the state forest and getting some insane result

Cheers for all the help though guys, got a intake fan pumping some air in and moved the tent to my garage surprisingly it has dropped the temp by about 5-6c

sounds like u found the solution, are u using cooltubes?

Yeah man using cool tubes just didn't have enough ventilation coming into the tent, humidity is still sitting around 50% so happy growing ahead hopefully! Thanks for the help guys
