    Default Ongoing heat issue - upgrade to LED

    Hi guys,

    So I've been having a nightmare with my temperatures and I think I have tried every option.

    60x60 with an aircooled 250w hps. As I'm in a closet ventilation is limited. 6 inch intake (which I can pull from the outside but it's through a vent 110x55). 4 inch out.

    I have tried venting to the window, venting to the next room, venting outside. Moving the ducting everywhere! The closet just seems to retain heat. The window is always open and I have an fan circulating the air with little result.

    I'm fed up like. I can't afford more gear but should I get myself a 100w migro/prakasa. It's driving me insane 🤯

    Anyone have any ideas?

    How handy are you?

    Forget fans if you don't generate heat in the first place.

    He's a wimp. If you can wire a plug your good!

    You can order compete lights but not worth the extra

    Haha looked fairly handy. Feels like a downgrade to go to LED. Plus I'm broke

    So just live with it then? Buds look fine but with a little leaf curling as you can see. I was more concerned about the temps degrading the bud???Click image for larger version.
