    Default Heat issues

    Hi all,

    I am struggling to get my temperatures down and they are running at around 35degrees. my setup is listed below.

    Grow tent 80x80x150
    600watt hps
    outake fan 550 m3/h - extracting into my attic
    intake fan 187 m3/h pulling fresh in from outside the attic.

    only other things I can think of to get temperatures down is changing the light to a 400w or buying a light box and see if that helps.

    any advice greatly appreciated.

    RH - Relative Humidity

    Or Humidity for short

    RH that low aint helpin with temps at all... you increase that RH temps will drop a little also

    ebay number 231455369958 snoop about though might find it cheaper than that.

    do you have humidifier?

    As advised above...400w hps will do you well in that space.. get a cool tube reflector and you should be fine mate have 250w bulb as well just in case things don't work out
