i grew exo in a volcano once, true story.
came out fire!

in all honesty i don't see how anyone could fuck that strain to the point where it doesn't produce stinky rocks, its been kept alive for this long for more than just the smell i can tell thee.

i'm more for just having less equipment, for the fact it takes up space, adds wattage draw and looks more professional to the plod. keeping a grow as simple as possible can have a lot of benefits.

if it's too hot lower your lighting wattage if possible, go with led or even cfls and have the hps only running for a few hours of the cycle. you'd be surprised how far down the scale of importance lighting is to the environment you grow in, it's about the bigger picture if you want to keep them healthy all the way through a flower cycle in the summer heat, especially in a loft!

high temps kill resin imo, especially at the end of the cycle. upgrading all my grow rooms for the summer the old rvk fans have finally had it, those new airforce 8" beasts do a great job, with 3 adjustable settings too.

All I run is LED, CXB3590s @ 700ma in the loft. Even with the most efficient setup solar gain in the loft is a beast. I try to counter the high temps by running the light cycle at night and I also draw fresh air from a room on the "cool" side of the house with the window open. Roof slates are just a massive solar battery that stores heat. Thankfully we only have to deal with it a couple months out of twelve.

Cheers,
Will

On the plus side my veg tent is booming up there. I have a mini split air conditioner from my HPS days but can't explain the extra £££ on the electric bill to my wife so it is going on Ebay soon. Solar panels is my next big project. I would love to run the garden for free! I think reducing your wattage and moving as much air as you can is your best option for now. LED definitely reduced my BTUs in the grow space by a huge margin but the sun when it is shining will always win.:smile:

Cheers,
Will
