i did the first 7 days with a bunch of CFLs, now i switched to my MH light and I cant keep the temps down, I am running an AC in another room(20 feet away), a huge fan in the grow room (which is the corner of a bedroom), a cracked window and my temps are at 100 degrees..

My water temps are very hot as well. I dropped a couple of ice cubes in there, not sure if that helps or not

I have an aerogarden with 5 plants and 4 plants in soil, I am running a 400 watt MH light and using entire foxfarm nute line.. Soil PH is 6.7 and aero PH is 5.4

The strain is master kush

also one of the plants in the aerogarden just fell down and collapsed.. is there any way to fix this?

Here are some pics thanks for any advice

Nah its producing 30,000 lumens its good energy for em , just lift it up a lil higher and put the fan blowing towards the bulb

Well id say atleast 1 foot (30 inches) , i just installed a 400watter mercury last night , its looking pretty good at 15 inches , gives 22,000 lumens , might get a 400 mh bulb tho

I have a heat problem also. I got 25ft. of flexible ducting and ran it from my central air vent in the other room to the back of a fan sucking the cold air and blowing it right on the grow area. This lowered my temps like 10 degrees. I got the duct tube at menards for cheap. Just a suggestion.

Good luck and happy growing

i did the same with my mh lamp. follow what these guys said, i'd say at least a foot between canopy and the lamp if you still have babies, bring it a little closer if you want when they get bigger. no need though i say cos ur plants just get bigger quickly with an mh so the distance is always decreasing. when i used the mh in the beginning, the temps were pretty high too but the distance was good enough that they did ok. as long as it isnt too high and u have co2, u should be fine. gl
