My plants are only 2 weeks into flowering and they grew way taller than I had expected. There is only 1ft4in left space between them and the reflector which is way to hot for buds to do good in, and the only fan I got going is blowing over the top of them.
What can I do to fix this? I am getting tempered glass to put in the reflector but how should I do the ducting and the fan connected to the ducting? I have never set one up before nor seen one set up.
Is there any another way to fix this problem other than stated above?
PLEASE HELP! I only have 2-3 weeks left untill they hit the reflector and then....I am done for :(

I only have one duct connector to go into my reflector. Is that okay or do I need two?
So basically tell me if I'm wrong but all I need is ducting to go from the reflector to a fan sucking out the hot air in the reflector and expelling it into another room/outside. Is that basically it?

When you spoke here about a filter, what type of filter were you talking about?

Is this just to make another duct connector on my reflector out of ducting?
