Auto White Russian Grow!

Day 7 and must say growing in the summer sucks when AC isnt really a viable option. No one makes window AC units that fit in horizontal sliding windows for under 250$, and thats alot of money on my budget.

I have two WR surviving, and the bagseed has yet to show its head. The other have died of heat exhaustion. Of the two surviving, one doesnt seem to mind that its over 84F in the cab constantly and is looking super healthy. Does anyone have a cheap, viable option for cooling a cab even by a few degrees? I have recently installed a 9 in exhaust fan and more intakes.


Pics to come soon!

Hi, You can get an Evaporative Cooler at lowes for less then $200 which would work. I use a regular electrical fan in my greenhouse and the temps in the summer here get up to 114-120F and the plants handle it as long as I make sure they don't dry out.

Hi, I forgot to mention we got a piece of plywood, placed it over the window cut a hole in it and use a regular window a/c.

I'm seriously thinking of doing this... removing a window shouldn't be to hard.

Whats the deal with evaporative coolers? Don't you have to throw ice in them? Sounds like a pain, but whatever keeps the temps down, right?

I'm away from the house for a few days, but will have friends keeping a close eye on my baby. I don't expect them to keep up with this log or pics, so I'll just hope for the best.

Hi, I don't know too much about the evaporative coolers I believe you put water in them but I don't know.

We didn't take the window out just opened it all the way and left that way of course you can't close the window with the wood there but it works well a lot better then those real expensive portable a/cs.

i just wanted to bump this and see how the ladies were doing?
