Yeah it can get colder too, but I can put a space heater down there to warm it up to whatever temperature really. What's the best temperature to be bringing into the tent, I haven't read anything on that yet but I was figuring you'd probably want it colder, obv not that much colder, than the desired tent temperature since the light will be heating the tent up?
I try in colder times which is all the time here in the Uk to bring my intake from within the house. Why?? Because it fresh air and it is higher in CO2 which the girls like. I try to keep my temps between 22c and no higher than 28c. I also use a co2 bag which definitely helps. Maybe something that may help.

Hello mate. My last grow I used a 75 x 75 x 200cm tent with the 250w. I had issues with temperature and humidity so I have gone bigger to a 100 x 100 x 200cm tent. (My lamp has also gone bigger, but I'd recommend this size tent)
My hood/reflector is an Adjust-a-Wing Avenger with the Super Heat Spreader thingymabob.
I use 6inch passive intake bringing air in from around the window area, with the window open slightly, depending what its like outside.
Carbon Filter with 4 inch exhaust fan and 4 inch ducting venting into the same room as the tent.
Not sure what the best temperature is to be bringing into the tent, get your self a good digital thermometer and just keep an eye on the high and low temperatures.
Hope this helps! :smile:
Thank you! That gives me a good starter idea. Just to clarify in simple terms, you use one 6" fan to bring air into the tent. And have a 4" exhaust fan hooked to carbon filter blowing air out of the tent. So just one in and one out with the one out going through carbon filter first.
As you can see I'm really useless when it comes to things like this lol

And sounds good on the tent, next reasonable size up in what I was looking at was a 91.5W x 91.5L x 183H so I'll go with that one. What speed rated fans do you use?

I don't use a fan for the intake mate just a length of ducting. The exhaust fan creates negative pressure inside the tent and pulls the cool air though the 6inch ducting.
And sorry mate I haven't got a clue on the speed rating!

Well that sounds even better for my wallet! Sorry for all the questions but this is the last one lol Any clue on the carbon filter and exhaust fan brand/model that you use?

And thanks again so much, this made everything sound extremely simple by only needing a couple things. Tons of info on this stuff is just geared towards huge areas with multiple intakes and outtakes and cool tubes and shit.

Happy to help!
My extraction unit is sort of a shops own brand, it is basically a cheap bit of kit, which I wouldn't recommend, although it is doing the job for now. I'll be upgrading come summer time,
If you are going to do it, do it right, save up the extra bit of money for the better product. Not a topic I know much about if i'm honest! But like anything, buy cheap buy twice!

Not much to report i'm afraid. Shes got 2 weeks left. Very disappointing grow this. I haven't been able to spend time on her due to work.
I don't think SCROG is for me, next time will be a manifold.

I can't wait to see the end yeild, you gotta have at least 10 oz, what was your goal?

Na mate she is tip top. Looks beautiful
Thank you for the kind words lads. But she is burnt to fuck, yellow leaves everywhere. Bit of a lazy neglected grow this, shall get my arse in gear for the next one.
Today is the start of week 8, i'm going to reduce the nutes in order to combat this nute burn and will definitely be giving her a good flush from week 9. I wouldn't normally flush but think shes going to need it.

bah you spoiled brat LMAO
Open your eyes and look at those colas as if you'd never seen em before -- theyre amazing!!! :P

Oh and I don't think it's nute burn, but rather the completely normal pulling of nutes out of the leaves as she finalizes flower?? Which is no wonder, considering the effort she'S putting into those!

PMSL I was away for a week and came back to no change, except yellow leaves and a little more bud rot! Wasn't happy at all!
It's probably a bit of both, but she is definitely burnt unfortunately! Can't wait to cut her down now and get the next grow going! :razz:
