New Setup, New Plants but in Need of Some Help

Bofthe951 · May 21, 2011

Hey everybody I just redid my closet setup. I'm not sure who saw my old setup or not but basically I extended the room taller, added another light, 2 more plants, and better fan/ green maintenance light. This is a little more complex then my last one. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/409744-new-member-1st-grow.html#post5326483

The strain is called double OG, he blended Tahoe OG and Super Bomb OG. There is now a 4 foot shop light in there plus a higher wattage grow light. The clones are already way healthier then the other one I grew.

Only problem is there is so much more light and wattage that the room gets super hot almost 90 degrees. I thought my fans sucking in and blowing out would take care of it but because it's in a closet the ventilation is poor and I can't run exhaust fans through my room. I do have a window ac unit that cools my entire bedroom quick. So lately what I've been doing is just opening the flaps and putting a fan in front of them and suck in the cool air quick. Can anyone think of a way to do this without opening the flaps? I was thinking a small intake fan on top of the box and run tubing to the fan on top so it'll push the cool through the closet quicker. Please and thank you for any advice

Sounds like its a good little cab. I would get a 4" bathroom extractor fan and run a line of ducting from the window or cool spot into the bottom of your cab.

Hope you sort it soon mate, Clones to be proud of there.

i was doing basically the same thing as u last grow except with a 600W HPS. i used a large square floor fan for intake. its about 1.5ft X 1.5ft. the bigger the fan blades, the more air it moves. also i added a ceiling fan which helped move the fresh cool air from the window to the closet. and vice versa

edit: the ceiling fan is in the center of my room, not the closet lol

Yea that's not really an option in my room. I cannot alter walls or the ceiling because it's not my house. But I do like the box fan. It just shakes a lot and if i set that on top of my cage 1) makes too much noise and would bring attention to that part of my room and 2) it'll shake like crazy and come crashing through the panda film and crush all my plants. :/ not sure what to buy. I see inline fans and those are cool, just kinda expensive. Is there a way to use a small regular fan and hook it up to a exhaust hose like off of a dryer? will it even suck in the air with enough force to send it inside to cool off quick enough?

**BumpDate** Hey guys so I met up with an HVAC guy to talk about ventilation and I found out I could use a small fan and Mylar dryer duct. So for about about 12 buck I bought a small 4" fan and 8 feet of the duct. It wasn't an exact fit so I cut a few small slits in it and attached zip ties through the wires on the fan. Then I duct taped around the exit. It works perfectly. Thanks for all the advice here's some of the pics
