    Default Having dramas setting up my loft 1st grow in a while

    Hello chaps

    So I done away with the boiler cupboard grow box a few years ago and have just tried to setup in my loft! I've boarded it out nice used spacequilt to build my tent area and really happy with that part I've got a space 980mm wide by about 1800mm long the height goes up to a hip lowest being around 1m up to about 1500mm so it's abit odd but I think it can work.
    Now for
    The problems... I've got a 4" tt cheapy fan for intake taking air from the loft which is only about 18 degrees outside of the grow room and a 5" rvk a1 rhino filter and lumek growtube for my adjustable light 250-600w HPS light (going to upgrade to 6" l1 and use the 5" for intake) the outtake is vented out and into my boiler cupboard whith the door open to let the warm air into my house. The problem is at 600w it's 36 degrees at 400w it's 29/31 and testing 250 as we speak but I really don't want any less than 600w at this time of year as I know it will only get hotter and have to lower my light power if needed for summer.

    Am now looking at buying a mars hydro II PRO 320 and changing my filter and fan to 6" (can't fit bigger) donyiu gues think the fan upgrade will be enough to run 600w HPS or am I guna have to bite the bullet and buy the led panel

    Any other ideas guys?

    Much love
