Tempurature that much of a problem?

[samy109]

I have a computer case grow going, and I cannot get the tempuratures, any lower than they already are. This is with 1 huge fan running, and 3 fans venting and blowing air around inside of the case. My question is, if temps are around 75 at night, and 90ish at day, will this cause me to get almost no females, or is it worth a shot, being I have everything else dialed in?

its a little hot. IS there a way you can vent the light separately? That is the best way to ventilate small spaces.

Unless you can think of a way to ventilate 2 cfls on a y socket adapter hanging from the top of the computer case, I have no idea, although there may be an idea i'm missing.. I just need help.

but IF theres nothing I can do, do I have a chance? I'm just worried, I want my first grow to be half decent but I can't get the damn temps down

are you running the grow at night? (cooler temps.)

 

[samy109]

Yes, but still the temps stay around 93. High grow says temps up to 95 arn't reccomended but it should be fine, not that I should use that... but yeah. I don't know what to do.

 

[unspoken]

are you putting your vent fan as close to the lights as possible?

 

[samy109]

I have one big fan blowing into the closet onto the case and such, and then 2 big fans inside blowing air out, which are at the top of the case, where all the hot air is, yet, I guess they don't blow enough because right now it's 93.6f at the base of my healthiest plant. The plants look GREAT, it just seems hot... I'm not worried about the temps, i'm worried about getting only males with that kinda heat, I just need ONE female

 

[samy109]

Oh yeah and I also have another fan inside the case blowing on the plants.. yet it's still to hot. What the hell?

i don know about the female male thing being defined by temps but i have a feeling that high temps caused my first grow to smell amd taste line hay. i always had to deal with high temps. with all the fans that u got in there you are just circulating the hot air. you need to bring cold air from outside the house directly into the grow space. what i did is squeeze 3 ductings in a tiny window opening and thats connected to my grow tent.

YAAAY. So guys, after re arranging my setup, and putting thermometers in much better places, i'm now getting a reading of 88.5 D

So basically my temps are around 78 at night ish, varying, and 85 - 87 during the day, is this good?

simple solution my friend. vents at the top above the lights to exhaust, intake at the bottom to suck in cool air. less or even NO fans inside to blow the hot air around instead of letting it escape from the top. my temps went way down when i let the cool air coming in from the bottom rustle the plants before going out the top over the bulb. instead of having another fan in there to blow hot air around instead of letting it go out.

hiya,,above post re hay taste and high temps is back on,,beware of of high temps and low humidity,,my last grow lost nearly all its smell,had virtually no taste,,this was down to my mistake of underestimating the power of a very powerful new exhaust combined with high temps and very low humidity and the dank was gone,,the trics are there but no taste or smell, i have over a 1lb left that i will have to make solid with,,so watch out for high temps and low humidity,,,good luck,,,peace s2
