time for an update on my grow and as you will see iv been pretty busy ..and hard on my wallet bt the plants are def worth it!
the wardrobe was getting a bit crowded and was causing more problems then it was worth so i decided to splash out on a grow tent ..its not that big only 80x80x160cm but a big step up from the cramped wardrobe i was using.
in the tent i have 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan, both are 120mm and have a cfm of 79. they were free and are silent but temps in the tent are higher then i would like, 25c-32c (77f-90f). i have a fan aimed at the 250w HPS inside the tent aswell.
humidity is low, only 25%-35% with the fans on. when fans are off during the 3 hour dark period (i turn them off to keep the temp from getting too cold) it can get up to 80%.
any suggestions for these problems would be greatly appreciated!
iv been looking into cool tubes and saw 1 that lets you put 2 bulbs in it, sounds like a great idea but ill have 2 cut a couple holes on either side of my tent and put in flanges for the ducting, not something i want to do if i can avoid it!
as for the humidity i think ill have to get a cool mist humidifier but the selection of them out there is crazy! does anyone know what to look for or watch out for when buying one?
