Hey,

So I have set the grow tent up now in the closet and everything is up and running except no plants in there.

I have left the light on 24/7, with the extraction and intake running full power (not that i can control the power). I places the hygrometer in there and left it for a 24 hour period.

Just checked the hygrometer in the room and the temps are:

85.6 degrees farenheit temperature in the grow room and

48% relative humidity.

Now from what i've read the perfect temperature is 70 - 75 degrees fahrenheit.. and mines 10 degrees more than that, and I know anything above 90 is BAD! :-(

So I am worried that when i put the plants in the room the temp is going to go up a little bit and possibly RH go up to. So, RH is at an acceptable level... what can I do about the temperature, i've tried moving the ducting/exhuast etc around, no difference, i've opened up the vents and all flaps on the tent, no difference.

I currently have the exhaust fan exhausting to the top of the tent, and intake comming in from the bottom of the tent.. i don't know what else i can do to bring the temps down?

I am running one 300wat cfl as described in my earlier posts...

so onto the questions:

1) what can i do to bring temps down a bit?
2) is the temp i currently have really that bad? can i successfully grow in it?


Some info, the external closet door is closed MOST of the time as to not avoid attention. HOwever if i open it - it drops tempt by 1 or 2 degrees but it stays in the 80's.. i can't make any physical reconstructions to the closet/house to vent externally out of the closet because its rented accomodation....

so what are some tricks of the trade to bring temps down? please help?

thanks in advance!
