Urgent: High TEMP Low Humidity

For some reason the pic isnt pulling up. Its just a foam cooler with an intake with a cheap little fan and an exhaust made from some ducting...
 
Simple DIY cooling system. Can fill with ice or even dry ice if you're looking to add extra Co2. Probably run you under $40.
Hope this helps spark some creativity...

Soak a towel and hang it up in the tent, open the bottom and top vents so you get some convection action, or leave the door open until you can get a better vent fan.
 
Well after today, I switched back to using 2 cfls 42w(WEAK). . I've decided that the led system is too powerful and hot for my area and I have ordered x4 105w (500w equivalent) cfl lights e26. At 68 lumens per Watt each I did the math which equals a total lumen count of 28,570 for 4.4 Sq feet which I feel should be adequate as well as keep lower temps. What do you guys think? It seems like that is one of my last options seeing as I've tried both hps and led and consider myself not ready to take on that kind of heavy equipment.
 
Ya imo one of the few things worse than your original led is the high wattage cfl. Terrible penetrating for the pull on the plug and the heat is going to still need to be managed. Your hustling backward brother. By the time everything is said and done you will have spent more dough on cheap shit that doesn't work as well instead of just don it right the first time.

I am not talking shit simply speaking from experience. My first lights were 105 cfls and they didn't last long for the reasons stated above.

Good luck with whatever but you would have been waaay better off getting some cree globes imo.

You need an 8" exhaust fan and ducting with a 400cfm rating or higher puling all the hot air out of the growing space completely. And you need at least 2 8" passive intakes for fresh air. ALL Need To Be Light PROOF.
I grow high temp , low humidity. But 84f is my max temp.
Best of luck.
Peace
