    cooltube vs open wing

    Going from an open wing to a cooltube, is a ~5F/2C temperature drop a reasonable expectation? when using a proper fan? 2ftx3x4 room

    Evaporative cooling

    Also got insulated ducting, heard it'll reduce noise better but was mainly bought to retain the hot air in it.

    Evaporative cooling

    No it's an 180cfm 4" "blower" not a booster fan. Was the growbright blower/can combo thingy

    Evaporative cooling

    I broke down and ordered a cool tube. How much will it reduce my temps if my current maximum is 85? I have 4" everything, but cool tubes only come in 6" and up. I ordered 2 6 to 4 reducers, it should still make it a lot better right? I am using a duct blower. I plan to go can filter >...

    Evaporative cooling

    Wouldn't a bucket of water sitting under the light cool the room slightly due to evaporative cooling? I need humidity up and temp down, this seems to be a easy solution...? I thought I had my temp issues resolved, but overnight the room did get back up to 85 with the door closed for 8hrs.

    heat from 400w

    My humidity is too low to begin with 30-35%, but i imagine that would change as my plants get big. I struggle to keep it around 50%

    heat from 400w

    81.5 room constant, 83.4 at plant shaded probe.... is that ok? I achieved this by hanging a cold water towel. Can I freeze a 2 liter bottle or something ? The towel drops the overall temp from about 84.

    heat from 400w

    been moving the fans around and trying to get it right... i moved the carbon can to RIGHT above the reflector...and it seems to be helping a lot. wow the 400w puts out some heat

    heat from 400w

    I'm google-ing and it's saying that - to measure the airs actual temperature with glass or plastic probes they have to be shaded. How do I accurately read the temperature under the light?

    heat from 400w

    I just checked, the temp of the air leaving the room is 76F but 16inches under the bulb it gets up to 95, or both my meters say...

    heat from 400w

    If the ambient temp is within range, but directly under the light isn't the solution would be - additional room circulation, correct? Also, are temp probes off when directly under the light. Mines saying 95 but it sure don't feel 95...?

    first timer ?s

    The folks at my shop seem to think the 400w will be fine as well, especially since colder weather is approaching, so I'm excited about that. --- Can I use fan leaves for clones? I know it's supposed to be 4th node back blah blah blah but will it work? I just topped my 18day widow, she was...

    first timer ?s

    How hot would a 400w HPS ballast get? I'm guessing it would be a fire-hazard under my bed?

    first timer ?s

    In a 34in wide x 20in deep x 8ft tall space, could I use a 400w HPS without having it in-line cooled? Or is the space just too small for 400watts? I have more than sufficient exhaust with the blower I'd think, but I have 0 experience with HPS anything so estimating the heat output is...

    first timer ?s

    75F = 24C, so yeah your math is on. A 400w is out of the question though, correct? Considering I can't actively cool it...? I want good shit and as much as possible.

    first timer ?s

    34in wide x 20in deep x 8ft tall 180cfm 4in duct blower, carbon can filter, sunblaze 4x24w T5, internal circulation = 8inch moving fan & 2 30cfm computer fans My 1st question is, currently at 2inches off the plants the temp of canopy is 75.2 (room temp constantly around 73). I'm vegging, but...
