I don't feel very smart now
But anyway, is there a problem that I have the lights running now for two days before the ventilation setup is finished?
Could it harm the LEP in any way?
It's never good for electronics to run high above their average operating temperature, it will not prolong their life. It is not intended to be used like this and damage due to it is not warranted. But I don't think you have to worry about 2 days. As said, they have a double temperature safety feature built in to prevent direct damage and failure.

Of course it is not good for electronics to run above their average operating temperature!
But in my case I have to supply some light to the plants since they are growing at the moment.
Everything will be up and running on Friday hopefully!
Will take some new pics then!
Still having problem with the seed coat though..

I have all three fans on now, and I have removed the earlier ventilation setup.
So there is some air moving through the LEP's, probably more than what a $5 computer fan could move.

All done with the ventilation setup now!
Blueberry skunk never made it, and it was really close that the Black Widow didn't do either.
So I started to germinate two other seeds (Critical+ and Chocolate Heaven) so I could replace them.
After a minor "surgery" with a tweezer and microscope I manage to get the seed coat of the Black Widow, and it survived.
The Blueberry skunk however wasn't that strong so it never survived.
Survival of the fittest huh?

yay! they are probably no longer failing on you
They better not, if they do I will blame you!
Was at my brothers house today, noticed he also got himself a Closet Grow.
Although he's growing Bonsai and Chili, it's still something!

Quick update.
Going to veg the ladies until 14th of May (a month exactly), then switching to flowering.
I also got three new LED panels (5w chip, 200w each so 600w in total), but I am having some heat problems now.
I installed a fan on the wall, didn't do much though except getting a nice breeze in my closet!
So I am thinking, since I already have two holes to the kitchen (which by the way is way hotter than the rest of my apartment) I can't do another hole there.
However, I might be able to drill a hole up through the roof..
I was at the attic (see attached picture) and thought that maybe I should move the larger fan (intake fan at the moment) and put on the attic and then extract even more air out of the closet and then have a passive intake (160mm intake hole that I already have).
The bigger fan moves quite a lot of air, so maybe I could even add a 600w HPS in cooltube?
For the micromol..
What do you think?
Sure it can be risky, drilling another hole out of the apartment but since I live at the top floor and no one is ever there..
I could cover up the fan nicely and also add a silencer to it.

Without the LED lamps the temperature is ideal (about 26 degrees Celsius or 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit), now however the temperature is too high (from 30 - 34 degrees Celsius or 86 - 92.9 degrees Fahrenheit) and I am only using two of three LED panels at the moment.

The blue cheesed turned out great.
But I liked the Amnesia Mystery the most to be honest.
I'll be updating soon again, with a new strain.
I am a little but worried about extracting air through the attic since it is a "public" attic and anyone can get up there.
But if I want to add an HPS, I have no other choice.
Thanks!
