Too hot

[Dougmc]

I just made a new grow room it’s 7’ x 3 1/2 x 7’ high, I have 2 vivosun inline and filters, one for exhaust in the tent and one for intake air outside going to my lights. My lights are 1 600w HPS and 1 philson 600 w led. I have 2 6” fans blowing, and a heater for night time. I have the heater set at 77 degrees, everything works fine but my day temps ar flirting in around 83 and I can’t seem to get it down, any suggestions welcome...
I’m adding pics that are pretty self explanatory
I’m growing 3 Cinderella 99 there the big gals , 1 sour lush, 2 northern lights and 2 white widow all in bloom

Welcome Doug to
Are you going to start a journal?

 

[Dougmc]

I could I never really thought about it, not sure if I know how to lol

Replace the 600hps with a 400W hps. I would say replace the HPS with another LED but if you gotta use a heater that’s not a good option.

I would just raise the lights a little.

I live in Toronto so I gets cold here need a heater for night,I could drop the light to 75% but would that hurt for flowering?

I like all the light they can handle in flower. 83 isn't super hot so you may be ok.

Welcome,Dougmc,to 420!
That's a good size room you've got there-do you have an
intake fan down toward the bottom of the tent?


This should help you out with some things: (how to do a journal is in there)

Yeah I wasn't thinking 83 was that hot either. You could pop one of those C02 bags in there, helps them deal with higher temps, or just tough it out.

My temps usually run around 80 lights on.

No both my small fans are facing downward to the floor my intake is cooling the 600w HPS lights

Is 83 too high for 12 hours, I’m ok with it if it’s not creating a problem. They are very healthy plants

 

[Pennywise]

Have your small fans blowing air up towards the light.

I've got a considerably smaller room to deal with,But I added a lower intake fan yesterday,and it brought my temps down 4 degrees-from 84 to 80.
*edit* Things were doing fine at 84 ,but it just seemed a bit hot to me...

I raised the lights and my temp dropped from 83.7 down to 81.9. I can live with that I think. Thanks, this place is great. Thank you all for the help

Welcome @Dougmc awesome room! Looks like the smart guys had good suggestions with the high temp issue, I'm curious about the low temp myself...how cold does it get at night? I live in north MI (icebox of the nation here in USA) and was running heaters at night in my rooms to keep the temp up in the mid 70's. I was informed our girls don't mind the cold (within reason) either, so I turned off the heaters and I'm saving myself a crapload of energy! I don't imagine it gets much less than mid 60's in there at night. The girls don't mind a bit! CHeers mate, luck to your grow!
