Hey guys.
I'm really new. Still struggling with my first batch
A couple of days ago, I replaced my small 220w florescent grow light, which died, with a proper 250w HPS. What I didn't consider is the substantial increase in heat emission this means.
I grow in a small closet, so it gets really hot really fast.
My question is:
1) What temperatures are ideal, and when does it start being too hot or unhealthy? (I'm growing hydro, if it matters)
2) Are there any magic solutions for this? I can't mutilate the closet and I don't want to spend too much. (Right now, I'm in budding mode, so 12 hours a day of light. I've set up the timer so there are some intermittent 30 minute breaks during the day to allow it to cool down, but obviously it's not enough.)
Thanks
