ok thanks dejay you have shed alot of light onto this for me, i will try that pop bottle trick and get back to you. i will also try my ac unit but i think i will run into venting trouble too. do you think putting more fans in the room would help bring down temp at all?

alex6r Reviewed by alex6r on 06-07-2009. problem, buds stopped growing. help. i am at the begining of week 6 from starting 12/12 and everything was looking great untill about 2 weeks ago the buds seem to have stopped bulking up, and some stunted leaves are growing out from the tops of some. from some of the research i have done it seems i may have nute locked my girls. i am using botanicare bloom, calmag and karma, and my ppms have been around 1300-1500. in the last while i have found it quite hard to balance my pH levels it seems to dive to 4.5. just today i have done a Rating: 5

If you don't have cool/fresh air coming in somehow you will just be circulating hot air around the grow room with all those fans. I mean they will help a bit, but if it's running hot, then you need some type of ac venting or way of cooling it.

yea makes sense, but if it could bring temp down even by 5 degrees i think it would make a difference. maybe i will do the combination of pop bottle and fans.

no doubt 5 degrees is a big difference, especially if it's only running hot by a few degrees. Hope it works out for ya! :thumbsup:

hey thanks for the tips. so i did a clearex flush last night and put new nutes in and balanced to 800ppm. here ia a cople pics of my roots, what would you recommend for getting the res temp down?

i got a little fridge and runn 50" of hose thru it. Gives me a few degrees drop I use h202 a few times a week. White roots for me.

thanks for the tips, i have been doing frozen pop bottles but it will deffinatly only be a temp fix as they melt quite quickly, but will have to do until i can afford an iceprobe or something like that
