Hi guys, I am growing 3 Easy Ryder plants in my basement in a room where the waterheater and water pump is in, under 6 42w CFLS. the growbox is big enough to house them (4x2x3) I had one CFL per plant when they were small, but now they are flowering and I added another light for each one. My issue is that it is now getting too hot in there. temps around 90. I have the famous carbon filter posted here with a 4" inline fan blowing heat out from the top. I had a passive intake ( a 120mm hole) but recently added an adjustable speed 120mm fan. I am still having heat issues.
I also have a small fan in there to blow the air arond and towards the exxit exhaust.
also I have now noise issues.
One of the reasons for the heat is that the door needs to be shut to the room, and it is probably recycling the hot air. ( it is a small work room too. the room is not tiny. maybe 6x10.)
Another thought is tapping a hole in the air conditioning vent above,and running a small line down to the intake. problem with that is that the AC is not running all the time.
any thoughts from the experienced? thanks
