I am burning my grow!

I messed up guys, I bought a 1000w double chip full spectrum kingLed for a veey good price، but my tent is too small for the amount of heat it is producing and it is getting way too hot there. And the temperature is reaching up to 34 C!!
I cannot afford to find a fast cheap carbon filter my grow tent size is only 2x2x4. Can someone give me cheap ways to cool it down in there?

Ice.. Couple of bottles of frozen ice in front of fan replace every few hours tho only done this one for few days when we had really hot weather

You need to exhaust your hot air.


Simple grow room design basic 1o1.

Cool air in
Hot air out

Run lights at night when it's cooler

since my room is always dark due to sun blockers, i just pulled my tent out from the wall about 4 inches and opened one of the ports. my strongest fan blows the hot air out of the vent into my room and it helped bring my temp down about 4 degrees. i also use 3 fans in my tent

Ok more grow room 1o1 basics.


Remove the hot air away from your room. Eg your bedroom in this instance is your lung room.

Meaning your tent should intake air from the lung room and you control the temp of your lung room

Then you need to exhaust that hot air coming out of your tent away from your lung room and not just recirculate the air within the lung room.

Another grow room basics 1o1 oscillating fans or clip on fans do not exhaust air or cool anything down. They merely circulate air.

yeah i understand. this is the best process i can get without buying an exhaust fan to help perfect the process. its just a makeshift fix until i can afford the right tools

Grow room basics 1o1.

Do not setup a grow area until you have everything you need.

1. Tent/area to grow
2. Lighting
3. Exhaust fan and ducting
4. Oscillating fans
5. Pots and soil/hydro setup
6. Run everything to Check temps
7. Buy seeds and germinate them.

Just a thing, you’ll be battling heat forever.
Summer is worse, invest In Air conditioner.
at night when its colder is best to have lights on.
Consider doing 1 exhausting fan and having a 2nd fan to really help push that cool air into the tent also then you’ll need a temperature controller which are 50$ To control this fan so it’s not always on and have it close to a window or something to get this cold air from.
Anything over 28 and you should consider finding ways to cool it down, you’ll realize you can grow veg stage with this temperature just less nutrients and more water, have good humidity as well... and when you flower the plant consider dropping down the temperature slightly more but it’s still manageable.
