Hey can anyone help me?! My temperature and humidity keeps fucking around with me... Any tips for lowering the temperature or any tips for raising the humidity...?

I think you just put the thread in the wrong area matey. :D Anyway, congrats on the setup. I'm actually past my first ever (finished) PC Grow, if you check my signature you can see the progress and pull some things from it if you like.

Anyway, I have a few suggestions if I may:

How is that light socket attached to the PC? If I were you, I would attach a power strip to the top or side of the box and then buy some adapters and plug in those bulbs. You're wasting a lot of light hanging them vertically because the majority of the light is coming from the sides of the bulb, not the tip. Three or four 25W cfl's are more than enough although the more the merrier. And you're very limited in space in such a micro area so hanging light sources horizontally will save you a fuckton of space.

About the temperature, is that PC fan extracting air? It also doesn't look like it's secured, maybe that's what's causing the problem? I undersrand that those black sponges are carbon filters of some sort covering the intake hole?

And get that plant closer to the light, elevate it on some books.

Any more doubts just ask. ;)

I would suggest attaching some strong magnets to the power cord. That way you will be able to raise and lower the lights without the need for disturbing the plant.

Yeah thanks a lot dude! I actually already about two days ago upgraded my setup little. Now the light bulb is hanging from a iron wire and i also added a glass of water in the box to raise the humidity.

And under these two carbon filters that are attachted to the sides are fans that blows air out from the pc.

And today i will add the second lamp for the setup.

But thanks for the tips and i will check out your thread. I'm sorry for being such a noob i'm very new to this hobby :p

Hmm, when you look at the picture of your girl, you can see that the leaves very slightly seem to be "taco-ing" because of the heat.

So let me get this straight, the fan on the right side is the intake fan yes? The air then travels throught the box and exits via the fan on the opposite side AND the fan on the side of the box yes? So you have two exhaust fans? If so, it could be because the air is'nt flowing correctly. It should be in from one side and out from the other, although maybe that's not the case.

Maybe something is obscuring the fans?

How hot is your room temperature were you keep the PC? Try to lower that temperature so that the intake fan sucks in colder air.

Anyway, she's two weeks old and looking great, so maybe the temperature isn't affecting her that much?

I wouldn't top her and then switch to lower straight away, she needs at least a week to recover. Have fun! :D

I have two exhaust fans. One is on the left side of the box under the filter. The another one is at the back side of the pc box. Its under the filter again. And i dont have fan that intakes the air. But thats ok cuz there still comes air in from it.

My rooms temperature is like 23 degrees so it still gets the cold air in. The fan that u can see in my pics isn't attachted to anything so it just keeps the air floating and cool. I feel like my thermometer is broken. :p

Nice grow man. Make sure you only have the lights going 12 on and 12 off. So you can keep the fans going and stuff.

Any reason you are growing in such a small area? I don't think you are going to get much in that computer case.
