Here We Go Again

[Ducky1]

Well now listen, sometimes a man has to stand his ground and really the only solution would be for your guests/family to mind their f&@king business

I mean I got to weigh up my options here....after Careful consideration and a few seconds of thinking I believe it’s easier to mind everyone to mind their business card, just risky stuff

8am : 33 centigrade and humidity is at 29%. All flaps are open. What are my options as of now? Time to start venting into the attic?

Well that doesn't make sense. What is the temperature outside of the tent?

 

[Backlipslide]

I’d also like to know what the temps are outside the tent. Your using CMH light right?? That’s the problem with lights, is they run so much hotter then an LED.

haven’t checked temp outside tent. Lights are currently off. Would you suggest checking temps outside tent tomorrow at 8am again?

I’m using a hps dual spectrum light. A lumii black 600W. But it’s set to 400W to keep the heat down.

Yes, I do want you to check the outside temps. There's no way it shouldn't make at least a small change. Better to iron out everything before you get all fired up.

no problem, lights are currently off at the moment, will check again tomorrow morning at 8am for temps outside tent and will report back.

 

[Ducky1]

8am temperature inside tent 33 and humidity 27

10am temperature outside tent 29 and humidity 34

Next steps?

Ok so hold on here.... What is the temperature of your thermostat in your house? This doesn't make sense. Where do you live is my next question. It's either one of two things : either your house is just too hot or whatever thermostat you're using is incorrect.

I live in the uk. Current temperature outside is about 14 centigrade. I don’t have a thermostat, all my heating is turned off, I never use it. Any other suggestions for this?

Why is the house 29 degrees?

 

[CagedApe]

Something isn't adding up... Do you sleep in 29 degree temp? The only thing I could think of is... You have that tent in a room with the door closed and zero airflow in that room so the light is heating up that room as well. In that case... LED is your best friend

The door is closed in that room as are the windows. Would venting into the attic help?

No, you still have to have cool air to replace whatever heat exhaust you are displacing. You need cool air in more than you need hot air out. You can exhaust that in Tokyo and it still won't change until you bring in cool air. Leave a window open in that room. The door is closed anyways. Then check your temps in the morning.

 

[CagedApe]

It will change immediately if you leave the door or the window open. There's no air exchange

 

[Backlipslide]

Yeah, you need cooler air. If you could vent the entrance part of your tent to the window, then the extraction point up to the attic. That would work. You need cooler air entering the tent though that’s for sure.

Sounds stupid but how about extracting to one end of the attic then venting in from another part of the attic towards the corner of the house where air gets in? I’m just trying anything I can to not have to open the window really

What I would do..... Option # 1: Leave door open. Option #2: Leave window open but could build something to have a screen and venting into that room.(probably what I would do if I absolutely had to have the door closed). Option #3: Cut a relief air in the door(I'm in HVAC and I did it all the time. Just put a relief air door screen).

So myself I would never vent into the attic. It can create some moisture problems in there. It would in Canada anyways. Myself I would just leave the door open and done. Or an LED... Ultimately the decision is yours and you can run whatever venting you decide. I'm just telling you, you need fresh air INTO the room and nothing will change your problem without that. Sorry fella, that's the best I can offer you. Good luck with your grow, I'll be watching for buds eagerly
