20150811_191227.jpg 20150811_191149.jpg Sup guys, I finally Decided to plant one of my seedbank seeds despite the lack of equipment. I planted an O.G Kush autoflower in fox farm ocean forest soil yesterday. My set up is getting really hot 82°-84°f on average. I've tried everything in my in my ability and limited resources to bring it down but no luck. Cant cut holes in door & definitely can't buy anything right now.

The setup is in the basement bathroom. The basement has an air conditioner inside but it's not reaching the bathroom well. What i really need to know is, will my autoflower be okay in these temps.
Thanks guys

the two of your highest lights can be turned off they arent close enough to really do anything but produce heat ...... cfl's are really only effective in the 3- 8" range

those 5 or 6 cfl's that are like 3 feet above the plants and blocked by the other lamps are only creating heat and very littleif any of the light they produce is reaching your plants.

my solution would be to remove them and optimize your lower CFL setup to reduce heat

and yea after 90ish degrees a cannabis plant will start shutting down growth to focus on cooling so its definitely not optimal.

also that little sidebar T-8 fixture or whatever it is, kinda isnt doing anything either so.... its just making heat
