Hey, currently on the 9th day of 12/12 and I wanted to ask everyone's opinion on something I can't myself decide.
I have two kingbo dual optical lens 900watt LEDS with an actual power draw of 366 watts each and one 1000w doocooler LED (can't find anything online of the actual power usage of this but it was a cheap seedling light and I'd say is 1/5th of the brightness of the kingbos) so let's guesstimate all lights are 800watts altogether.
2mx1mx2m tent 14 plants 9 white widow x big bud 3 mamma mia 1 ice 1 blueberry 7 weeks veg in 4 UK gallon fabric pots being bottom fed.
CO2 bag, humidifier, 6" exhaust fan, silencer and acoustic ducting.
Before when I only had the one kingbo temps were about 21-22 but now especially with this crazy summer england has been surprised with my temp is a constant 26 (lights off in the daytime and on through the night)
I know white widow x big bud from growing it before when i was strictly hps can handle temps as high as 29-31 and produce some huge colas but the quality wasn't too nice. Although this may have been down to it drying too fast and not being cured for more than a few days...
I still have my 600watt digital ballast which I can turn down to 250 or 400watt if i buy a new bulb and reflector my issue is I've just stocked up on nutes for the rest of the grow so I can't afford another kingbo which probably gives just 50watt of heat if that, while the HPS will be a lot more for the sake of wanting to make sure I get more than 20ozs should I add this HPS in or will the temps being even higher than they are cause me to get less yield, or some weak smelling bud? (Summer won't end until harvest is complete)
{Important I add this}
I can't afford an A/C with my outgoings but I found a swamp cooler on someone's drive with a sign saying help yourself I'm just waiting for some ice packs for the tank to be delivered so I can try that out but im sceptical of the humidiity it will add as England's humidity is already 60-70 throughout the night, inside my tent its at a steady 65 my humidifier is set to just operate when it drops below that during the day, should I try this swamp cooler and maybe later a dehumidifier inside of the room instead of inside the tent to keep mould away and to produce a lower concentrate of humidity or not bother at all? The windows of the room are always open as im at the top of a 4 story block of flats but can be closed this will mean the room will be cooler but less humidity will escape and when the smell starts reaching my front door I can just buy a carbon filter, intake is currently passive as there's nowhere cool to intake from!
Coco pro plus & perlite 50/50 mix, Canna A&B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Big Bud, PH 5.8-6
PK 13/14 and buddhas tree awaiting correct weeks to use.
Thank you to anyone who had the attention span to read all of that, I just didn't want to miss any detail which may have been relevant!
