Are you in the united states?
yep... east coast humidity

fuck man, im in nevada, middle of the desert, and i feel you!, but a cooltube with a 435 CFM fan,,,i think thats all you can do there...have you thought about buying a new a/C justb like ur old one, then returning your old broken one for your money back, its fucked up, but i do it alot, free shit is cool:hump:
i've tried but they stopped selling that model about 2 years ago .... and to the next question

A cheap way to get an ac is to go to some type of rental place like RENT A CENTER and just rent an ac... prolly like 20 bucks and you'll have it today
brother ....that's where i got the original AC. I ended up paying around 450-500. It broke a week to the year after it was bought ...and they won't honor the warranty. I wan't to throw this fucking AC through their window.
i've spent roughly 700 bucks on ACs this year. i guess the more i talk about it i'm convinced, summertime is for flourecents.

thats why i dont feel bad when i can get over on companys like wall mart, cause they will look for any little reason to not refund or fix a broken product, so you gotta workin the "loop whole" by buying a new one and returnin the old one...not to mentiopn you buy a a/c for 500$ that cost prolly less than 50$ to make.,..who is really being fucked?

Yes, I seen on the news in Cali that the east coast (New York) has had a streak of 20+ days of over 100 degrees
with a few deaths. The humidity has to be awful as well. All the best with your grow and I hope it works out well for you
asap.

well not much point in growing seeded buds to sell them, is there. throw out the batch in flowering. perhaps it would be best to keep the vegging plants, so to not lose your genetics, if you have it. especially in early veg, they should be more able to suffer a reduction of light (cfls) and high temps, and it shouldn't hurt your future yield with them or ability to clone.

other than that, try and take out a loan so you can get some proper equipment to flower once the heat dies down. although that could take a couple of months. me, i just don't grow in the summer. even if i get an a/c it would cost me so much to run it and attract attention, our summer is very very hot here.

I had this same trouble when I lived in Las Vegas and tried to grow indoor during the summer. I handled it, but my Elect. Bill Tripled over what it usually was during that summer period, which made my elect bill freakishly high. Elect bills are really high when it is 115 degrees outside. So from that point on I never grew indoor in LV again. But where I am at now, I have no trouble growing during the summer. If I was you I would shut down until cooler months come. Maybe keeping a mother from each of your strains with some cool temp CFL bulbs and tubes

yes my electric bills ARE freakishly high anyways. Like i had stated before ....ever since i lost the downstairs tenant it's caused temps to become a problem. This situation has prompted me to SERIOUSLY think about moving.
I have an offer to move into a new residence where the landlord offered to "have no idea" of what's going on. He's aware of my lifestyle. It's a great location. only problem is it's twice the rent i'm paying now ..... however between buying A/C's, space heaters, huge electric bills, huge oil bills. I think i could afford it.
This is where the problem lies .... The revenue from the plants in question woud've been what was used for the new place. Live and learn...... i appreciate all your input and help.
When i get everything straight ....I coming back with a muthafuckin' vengance.
