i have a grow room about 5 feet wide by 2 1/2 ft deep
its a sliding door closet
i am trying different ways to keep light in and keep the temp in the room low
but i cant keep it lower than 80's 90's
anyone give me a tip or some kind of advice to cool my room down
i tried a air purifyer blowing hot air out of room up top in closet, but not enough
any other advise would be greatly appreciated since the seeds have been in rockwool without the room for quite long enough ( a few weeks)

ello HydroIce,
An extractor fan and ducting straight to the light bulb/globe would be essential....hook that up so the ducting goes into the roof/ceiling.
For the sliding door, i suggest the white reflective plastic (white on one side & Black on the other) so light doesn't escape.....you could use mylar but it still lets light pass threw it.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Peace & Merry Christmas,
Bliss

ohhhh kay cuz i have mylar up right now but a lot of light is coming through so it seems like i use different things to make it seem more discrete, like cardboard for a side wall, i have some tubing connected to the light but no air extractor....
do i need to get one inbetween the tubing and light? where and how much is this white and black reflective mylar...?

I went to lowes got a plywood cut to the size of my exposed side on my grow area in my closet. Lined the inside of the with mylar. then just for extra measure i drapped dark towels along the edges. keeps it nice and dark.

There are tons of sativa varieties you can grow in those temperatures. Try fruity juice or a thai clone and you should be fine, and these varieties respond well to high or low humidity when flowering.
