What's up all!! So I'm abou 5 weeks in veg and I noticed it was getting to hot in my room so I raise my light naturally and it is still getting really warm. I'm in a small closet with no real vent inside, how can I vent it??
Here are the girls! Oh and I only have a 150 watt hps in the closet. If that helps out? It won't lemme put the pics up ill get on my computer in a sec and put em up

if you cant leave the door open then rigging up a computer fan and cutting some holes in the wall from the closet to any other room and exhausting your air that way could work. You could try having an oscilating fan in there and see if that keeps the temps down. Or you could find a cooler source of lightng

You could cut small holes in the top and bottom of your closet to install some 4" duct fans, they should help cool it down a bit whilst not consuming much electricity. Are you using a HPS or MH? If so you could get a cool tube and still cut the holes and then use an inline fan to force cool air from outside through the light.

i 2nd that

make sure you exhaust at the top of you area put a hole at the bottom too so the exhaust sucks in cold air

wire pc fan to a 12v phone charger or i use router power plugs

good luck

p.s plants look nice man

Thanks guys it helps a little only problem is I'm renting and in my state it ain't legal, if I go through the top then my upstairs neighbor will be peepin only plants haha. Anyway I think I gotta get a larger fan and keep the doors cracked but how much wind is to much on them?? image.jpg

You are going to need a carbon filter for the smell in flowering, trust me you will be say its not to bad until you walk in and boom your entire house smells like 50 plants are growing. And yes that will happen.

The fan on them shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep them adequately watered, otherwise it might dry out the leaves.

see i do have a plan but its a massive ball ache man

involves putting a wardrobe in your cupboard/closet and growing in that then you can run fans/filters get a good air exchange/enviroment with no smell without cutting any of your house up.... like i said ball ache but its all i can think of that'll work for your situation atm bro

Cant see the yellowish green with your lights on but its probably just new growth im about 95% sure :).
