Ok so sorry I got a bit impatient while reading that your having yourself a heat problem... I made something the other day that if you can replicate (which is easy) should really help you out..

I don't know if you've been reading my thread but I also posted a thread in the DIY section for it.. let me go get that....

Tdot's 3 Gal Rubbermaid Chiller/AC/Humidifier

I have this sitting in just my room and its helped drop the temperature.. I also tested it by putting the exhaust of the ac unit I made near my intake fans and it lowered the temps by 5 degrees within 30 minutes... I'm sure you can scale the idea up or down to your liking.. there is only 1 key component that isn't hard to find but its hard to find one for cheap atleast around where I live...

Take a look at the link, it then has 2 links.. one to the build (I borrowed from another site) and the 2nd link is a youtube video I made of my contraption working to show...

I hope this helps somewhat man..
Good luck,

HA cooling it through the ground would be great!! If only I could get that one passed. Wife didnt like all that ducting ran, I told her Im gonna cover it all with a hanging blanket anyway. Well temps this morning were around 90 still. Im going to have to go back to implementing co2 with my grow again. What if I get one of those 424cm inline duct fans?? Will that cool it significantly more?
:joint: :peace:

That chiller is cool, however efficiency wise, idealy it should be made from a styrofoam cooler. Retains heat and coolness more than plastic even if coated with foil.

Damn, wtf gives I dont know what else I can fucking do besides install a damn a/c unit in my box. This is really frustrating. I have my exhaust and filter going THROUGH my attic, and an intake in the grow and temps are still at 103 this morning, yesterday they were down atleast to 95, what the hell else can I do :(

OK heres a LONG deserved update!! The lady is still doing great despite hot temps. This is day 45 flowering. I have a question though, some of the good looking buds are actual buds from the lower branches and the on that is really younger looking, the one with no red hairs, is like one of the main colas?? What gives with that?? Please tell me what you guys think, and how much longer you thinkin, Im gonna have to get a magnifying glass soon, Im thinkin another 2-4 weeks atleast.

Hey there im a noob at growing and the site but what does it matter. I too have heat problems and couldnt find a solution so i got some 2 liter coke bottles filled them with water froze them till they got rock hard added them to my grow space and it reduced the temp drastically.But i suggest have some back up bottles in the freezer when the ones in the grow box melt(and of course put the bottles in a bowl,container, or whatever) there gonna sweat/melt and soak the place. So that was my 2 cents lmk if it helps Nice Plants btw hope my plants become just like yours

Well I dont really know exactly but i would say about 7-10 degrees plus my grow space is in a lil closet . i have one of the standing rotating fans circulating the air and a small 10inch fan blowing the hot/cold air up (hot from the bulbs and cold from the frozen bottles)

Heres a ton of photos for everyone. She is looking good, but the top main 2 big colas very tips are burning it looks? They just do not look as mature as the other colas, but these should be right? They are not really in direct light though. Anyway, please comment, advise away, how much longer you guys think she is? Thanks!!
