I think a kitchen/bathroom wall-mount fan from walmart or home depot will probably do the job. Best is to have the exhaust and intake directly opposite from eachother: exhaust in the top-left-back corner, intake in the bottom-right-near corner.

I'm sorry I haven't posted a update in over a month, but I have expirenced so much this first grow, its really opened up a new hobby that I can see myself doing for a very long time.

So the news.

One of the plants was a male = Dead
One of the plants is a autoflower female
One of the plants is a normal female

Story. Little after my last post, I noticed female preflowers on my autoflower (didnt know at the time), so I cloned it. The clones took from 2 1/2 weeks - 3 1/2 weeks to grow roots.

Fast forward to now. I have light at 18/6 and my autoflower is still making rocking, while my mother is dishing out clones for my outdoor after last frost.

I've noticed that my autoflower has 2x thicker stalk then my veging mother. They are only a few days apart, and same pot size, same amount of water, same light. I guess its just better genetics, too bad its a autoflower, and after these clones are gone, so is its lineage.

flowering plant 71 days old

my mother is 68days

You can see the small flowering clones in the 2nd and 3rd pic.

I have been having major heat issues. 80-90F is a constant, and I know its hurting my plants. Removed a light bulb and it droped back down to 75-78

Flushed them today for the first time, does it hurt the plants if i remove them out of the light for like 5minutes?

No sir. They grow anywhere. So taking them out of the hot direct light a couple minutes was alright. =) Just don't kick the lights ON for 5 mins in the middle of the night.

ever thought of having an intake fan lined up with a passive out take
simply sit the intake just above the canopy skimming the top and traveling to a hole in the wall across the canopy which links up to ducting and have passive holes in the top of the cab for the heat that rises and acouple of pipes traveling down and sitting level with the light
and an another small oscilating fan on the plants
