This is my first real grow, so Im still learning what things work for me and what things dont. I built my growbox out of some thrift store purchases. Its roughly 30"Lx25"Wx26"H. Im running 12 mixed spectrum 23w CFLs, for a total of around 300 actual watts of CFL lighting. I have 4 girls growing, all from bagseed, and they are 25 days into flowering.
Now, my problem. Ive had a constant problem with exhaust and keeping temps down. I started with a 4" duct booster for size reasons, and it wasnt enough. So I got a 6" duct booster, and it was working fine with ~100-150w of CFL. Now into flowering, I purchased a 87cfm computer fan. Trimming the edges off, I wedged it into the 6" ducting, putting it "in front" of the duct booster, and didnt notice much difference. I'd really like to run a carbon filter, but upon installing mine, i was running temps above 100*F.
I have a passive 6" intake, and 2 desk fans in the box for circulation. What could I do to help myself with these temps?
