Temps are high , don’t have ac but keeping steady at 29-30, those ac infinity controllers are great for keeping them down.

smaller tent3x3 is also at the same temps, the lady’s in there have some sort of heat stress, just trying to manage it. The white substance on the leafs is DE, for pest control.

my room 26-27 degrees using lights to heat room only - issue dehumidifier working really hard with all this rain (1-1 1/2 gallon per day), ink bird controllers working fantastic at keeping things in check- venting cool air from under canopy from trees over a creek out the back , if growing inside a house vent from under the floors( with filter) cool/dry air for a passive intake it will and does cool the rooms.

I’d love to vent from outside or under the floors but I have concrete floor, also my res is next to my grow tent no other option. It is what it is. Just got fans and extraction to help out. As my lung room is a shed , it will need a decent dehumidifier, aircon would be my best option, but I ain’t letting a sparky in here. Other than that, loads of air circulation is my route for now. Ac infinity are the business, can Bluetooth the fan settings and there app is on point, with graphs for humidity,temp, vpd. Even on high settings for the fan extraction it’s super quite and powerful.

just ordered 2 x Airlift T16 Shutter exhaust fans(1 x control) for a greenhouse I'm building(4.8x3.6 + 3.2x3.6 shadehouse) for tomatoes in dutch buckets ,Have seen these fans operating in other applications and they work really well.. could be the go to cool the garage in the windows or gable

Nah bro the blueberries are easy, they take a bit to get going, but pretty simple. I don’t eat them tho, everyone else does.

those plants are random clones that I don’t know the name ov(old man gave me the seeds). I left the side lighting on for 2weeks during the the stretch, so they lost some height. I grew them last run from seed ,and they nearly hit the lights.
