so this guy i know has this new cab, the grow space is 18" 40" 41" tall from the top of the (35 gal) res up. there is a 400w philips cmh in a cool tube with 197 CFM worth of S&P TD-125 pulling on it. There are currently 4 plants which were germinated 1 month ago in it... they are in a temporary set up with all 4 near the middle so that i can concentrate the light , just upgraded from 42w of warm white (broke my third daylight) --
IMPORTANT CFL DISPOSAL TIP - side note but this is important... you can not throw away CFLs they need to be disposed of properly, i know ace, and the local light store, will take your cfls after they have served their time (put the broken ones in a ziplock bag {quickly... if you cant you should evacuate the room for 15 min to avoid murcury inhilation}),
-- and 46w of daylight. After they get bigger and start to fight for space i will spreed them out evenly in the cab.
pictures worth 1000 words right... so enjoy these next 7000 word essay:
plants with light (any ideas to the sickness on the 3 of 4? cut off the worst leaf on the worst plant today... i think i heat stressed them when they were young cuz its only on the oldest fan leaves... the front right one is in perfect condition and their all in the same water (ppm~ 600 using 200ppm tap, and ph 7.6)
reflector and fan (S&P TD-125, 197 CFM in high mode)
filling the res:
res and grow plane:
ghetto rigged outside air pump
exhaust (will have a scrubber soon further decreasing airflow)
back with intake and seams showing

i cant get the air temp below 95F!!! right now the ambient in the room is 84, but i have a powerful house fan in the window ghetto rigged to positive pressuring 73F out side air into the 4" inlet. I have a small 4" fan blowing directly on the cool tube from like 1.5' below, and a 8" oscillating fan sweeping across the plants. Im eventuality going to have 2 4" inlets on the bottom with 3" s-tube pvc in them, but this is a master piece in progress (will be done before moms weekend next week), and right now the back has a lot of seams that air can get in (the front is 100% light tight... took a lot of love and care)
Why is my temp soooo high? what can i do to cool it short of tuning the AC on?
