greenmatter

Ive got a 400w going just today , and Ive noticed on my digital thermometer that it was getting up to 31.9 , though have heard i should be aiming for 28.

i would be shooting for 25. is your reflector air cooled? tell us some more

summer is a bitch indoors ... anyway, sounds like your gonna need some bigger fans. what is the outdoor temp?

do you have a swamp cooler or an AC. not really possible to get your grow space colder than your house without one. are you in water or soil?

closest i have come to a small space like that is reading about them on this site. try re-posting with something like "hi temps in a grow cupboard". i think you might get some better info and get it faster that way. PEACE

Hi

I dont have a reflector it's a specular lamp cover , and i have a pc size fan taking air out and one blowing air in , also because it's summer here doesn't help , as I was running it perfectly in the winter .

ps here is the kit I have if that helps.

Holy shit! Have you seen the recommended growing temperatures on that page?

"Best Temperature - 72-76 degree Celsius"

I think they need a better proof reader!
