running into some issues on day 11

i did the first 7 days with a bunch of CFLs, now i switched to my MH light and I cant keep the temps down, I am running an AC in another room(20 feet away), a huge fan in the grow room (which is the corner of a bedroom), a cracked window and my temps are at 100 degrees..

My water temps are very hot as well. I dropped a couple of ice cubes in there, not sure if that helps or not

I have an aerogarden with 5 plants and 4 plants in soil, I am running a 400 watt MH light and using entire foxfarm nute line.. Soil PH is 6.7 and aero PH is 5.4

The strain is master kush

also one of the plants in the aerogarden just fell down and collapsed.. is there any way to fix this?

Here are some pics thanks for any advice

more pics of room and damaged plant

and even more pics

temps are reaching 104 F.. Its only 80 outside.. someone help please!!

shut off your light! then come back for answers

so I should give the plants no light? i dont think this is the answer, I raised it a bit though

why the hell is it getting so hott in there when ur in a open room?

I am not sure.. I removed the reflector material (same used for car windshields) and it got a little cooler now, but not by much im at 98

Its Your Fucking 400w Mh On Seedlings.

Turn The Mh Off And Just Use The Ag Lights For Now


Peace
Good Luck

Nah its producing 30,000 lumens its good energy for em , just lift it up a lil higher and put the fan blowing towards the bulb

yeah, dont tuen it off.
lol my bad.
but its the heat from the mh.
raise it about 7inches to a foot?
i dont know ..never used MH

holy shit.
u want that 400 watter about 16-20 inches from the plants

Well id say atleast 1 foot (30 inches) , i just installed a 400watter mercury last night , its looking pretty good at 15 inches , gives 22,000 lumens , might get a 400 mh bulb tho

...are you retarded?
a foot is 12 inches. not 30!
jesus...
and yes 400w's STAY 16-20 inches from canopy on plants.

haha 30 inches one foot...
what the fuck that makes me like 2.5 feet tall.

I have a heat problem also. I got 25ft. of flexible ducting and ran it from my central air vent in the other room to the back of a fan sucking the cold air and blowing it right on the grow area. This lowered my temps like 10 degrees. I got the duct tube at menards for cheap. Just a suggestion.

Good luck and happy growing

chill out man..he obviously meant 30cm. 1 foot= 30cm....jesus

oh my bad... i didnt kno that 30cm = a foot

sorry dude

i did the same with my mh lamp. follow what these guys said, i'd say at least a foot between canopy and the lamp if you still have babies, bring it a little closer if you want when they get bigger. no need though i say cos ur plants just get bigger quickly with an mh so the distance is always decreasing. when i used the mh in the beginning, the temps were pretty high too but the distance was good enough that they did ok. as long as it isnt too high and u have co2, u should be fine. gl

isnt co2 realllly dangerously flamable?
not a good idea. with all the plugins.. fuck i dont knoe. seems as if theres any spark flame anything it will blow up
