well you might not need all them fans with cfls.
and your lights will be ok for one plant.

note420 · May 13, 2008

my temps like 95 f is that ok

daisy2687 · May 13, 2008

Depends on the strain. Some do fine at that temp.

Try finding a tiny desk fan (I have one thats 6in in diameter) and point them right at the lights. This helps a lot with temp

the small ones are the best for air flow and loss that tin foil and paint it white coz tin foil makes hot spots.
unless you havnt got alot of it.

Wow, you need to cool your grow space down, your plants will most likely die! I would try maybe buy one of those ac fans that you put regular ice in and it blows cold air, they are like 20 bucks but i have a friend that swears by them, claims they lower a grow room about 10 degrees...

nice set up man, but where are the pics of your babies?? also using the extension cord as a mount is a good idea i guess, but you cant put that many lights on it (size) looks like you might be able to add one more socket. i would recommend just buying a vanity light set up from home depot for like 5 bucks and plugging that into the extension cord. could we also maybe get a full view of the box open. gl and happy growin

if you want come by my thread im doin a grow cab too.... just start 2 days ago

ive built one myself man and they cost more then just buying the vanity, piece of wood, 3 light sockets, 3 extension cords, and splitters alone will run you like 30-40 $ or just buy one 3 socket vanity for $5
