Grimace Reviewed by Grimace on 09-26-2007. rubbermade setup high temps Alright so I decided to start growing and that the rubbermade setup looked good. Its setup with 10 walmart cfl's (1350 lumens I think) it has two intake fans and one exhaust fan at the top. The exhaust fan is a 6" inline duct fan attached to some of that flex duct stuff which is attached to my homemade carbon filter. I haven't started growing any plants yet because I cant get the temp down. It averages 100 degrees and I cant figure out why. I feel bad I spent all this money and it dont work Rating: 5

Has you can read in the rubbermaid tutorial :

"The active outtake must be larger than the passive intake or you will not have any 'negative pressure' (airflow) through the box."

Hope you check that !

i havnt read any of the other posts but your problem is you have 2 intake fans... get rid of both intake fans entirely, if its still too hot patch one intake hole up. if it is still to hot, add an exhaust.

Sound advice. No need for intake fans, as exhaust fans will force air in from intake hole(s). Placing intake hole close to an a/c register may help, too. Exhausting the heat is your main concern. Would patch one of the intake holes, (couple of layers of duct tape?) and add one of the fans for exhaust, as high up in the cabinet as possible. (heat rises) Keep in mind the light leak issues.

I believe that attachments may be posted, after a certain number of posts has been reached. :thumbsup:

If I run it with the scrubber off then it drops alot. During flowering my plan is to have the 12 hours of light during the night with the scrubber off and some incense lit. Then the 12 hours of dark during daytime with the scrubber on. I dont really see any other solution because to fix this properly

Are you that worried about a potential ordor problem? You said you are only growing 2 plants, it may not even be an issue.

I would say leave the scrubber off until flowering. Even then, there might not be a gigantically noticeable smell

Also, how do you plan on keeping incense burning for 12 hours, 8 of which you will likely be asleep? alarm clock? fire hazard?

Note: Even if you accomplished the above feat, you would likely doom yourself to lung cancer. Buddhist temples, where incense is burned almost constantly, show a 300% increase in lung cancer rates.

good luck and keep us updated

I'm not at all sure of his numbers, but the info is basically correct. The soot released by some incense and candles can be pretty toxic. Once Amber (the wife) got cancer the first time, we quit using candles, Nag Champa, and those plug-in air fresheners that warm the perfume. Had read that some of the burned/heated ingredients can create a hazardous soot. (the bathroom still gets the spray, tho)
