Happy camper

OK....with the humidity/temp gauge where should it be placed? Around the plants, midway in the closet, in the corner? Just want to make sure I'm getting a good reading not something false or misleading

 

[camper2016]

....I've had the gauge in front of the plants but under the lamp...after 2 hrs the gauge read 35% humid and 104F temp

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Hot. Very hot. You gotta cool it down by say 20f.

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

You want your meter at plant level so it feels what they feel. 104 is hot dude.

I saw 104 when I got my Mars 400. Had to leave the door open when lights were on till I got it sorted.

ok.....I need better ventilation? I have a 12" fan and it's on the other side of the closet on top of a chest of drawers about 5ft up and its moving the air around...now what I have done is remove the chest of drawers so the fan is on the floor...and open the opposite sliding door so more air comes in and out...and what do you think?

 

[camper2016]

....what I have NOT done is move out CoD

what about sublimation...if I get some ice in a steel bowl and let the fan blow cooler air in the closet...will that make it too humid

Hey camper,

I know I told you earlier to move your lights down but at 104, you may need to move them up. Are your lights opened on each end? If so you should add some ducting and pull that hot air out of your lights and vent it outside of your grow room. I've also heard of some people adding small air conditioners to their grow room. I clip my temp gauge on one of my buckets.
