Hey chknhwk,
Welcome to the club.I agree with Doobieus on this one.You really do not need the cfls.And you a running hot as it is,the cfls will only make it worse.You need a bigger exhaust fan than 48cfm.I use a 250 mh/hps and i have a scubber and a 265 cfm fan.My temps run 78 with lights on and 68 with them off.Get a bigger fan and you will be good to go for now.
Hope this helps a little,Peace and keep it green.

Ahhh I see, well if you're making one you can either hit up home depot and get a honey well universal activated carbon filter (Only lasts 3 months though I believe) or aquarium carbon, but you already knew that
.I've been making another ghetto AC (Yes I was that bored and that stoned lol) in hopes to help people with temp issues lol. My bedroom is around 150-175 square feet and this ghetto AC has cooled down my whole room. I took a regular old cardboard box, a 10 inch house fan. a tupper ware, and 3 frozen water bottles .5 liters. I cut a rectangle in the upper half of the cardboard box, and a hole on the other side of it, I made a cone to fit the 10 inch fan, and put the cone into the hole of the box. The tupper are catches any excess water from the bottles as they melt inside the cardboard box. It works lol, it's around 84F outside and I don't have the house AC on and it's chilly in here.
I have another ghetto AC I'm going to try, involves a water pump and copper tubing, and is a more permanant solution. Rather than having to consistantly changing out water bottles. Basically less maintainence is all really.
My hopes with these experiments is to help those who have heat issues but can't go out and buy a 100$ AC. The first one costs like 15 bucks MAYBE, the second system will probably cost around 35 bucks max. So you see it's very cost efficient and works.
I'll probably be screwing around with a design for a carbon filter too, gonna try to design a DIY carbon filter, that you can easily replace the carbon and re-use. That'll be in a week or two depending on the apps, still waiting on it ahhhh it's driving me absolutely bonkers lol.
Anyway I bet that WB is smelling fucking killer dude
! Hope you find a solution Mind, I'm sure you will, and have a wonderful and stoney day yourself, I know I am

And again you bring a big smile to my face.You really must be a beautifull person inside and out.It is rare someone i have not meet one on one to make grin.You sound like a real handy person to boot.I will have to try that Ghetto AC.Love the name too,But anyways the WB is smelling very fruity actually.My close friend who installed my new fan last night said that.
I changed out my s&p which was 197 cfm to a 500 cfm fan.It will be contrlled with a varible speed controller.Getting ready for another HOT summer,and i am not going to battle with the grows anymore.Well time sit back and smoke a fatty.
Peace and love,Plant a seed over grow the World.

Thank you for the compliments Mind, you're a pretty interesting and wonderful person yourself
. I try to be handy honestly, because if you depend on others to do things for you all the time you lose a sense of yourself in a way. You lose an aspect of independence, not to mention the greatest tool anyone could ever utilize in life is the brain.Nice upgrade on the fan by the way, that variable controller will probably help out a lot this summer. That ghetto AC should help out too, the refined version even more. Have to wait on that one though, can't find any copper tubing and some other stuff lying around lol. I will probably post a step by step here with pictures when I actually finish it.
The WB is probably smelling something yummy, I love fruity strains they're my favorite
.Edit: Also that kitty in your avatar is cute as hell it's almost evil lol.
Much peace and love.

Hello everyone, it may look like pure madness but i've got sixteen girls under
250 HPS. Here's a link:

Of course 16 plants for a SoG style will work
(depending on height) lol. How tall are your plants? They look about 2 ft. or so from the pictures, but it's kinda hard to tell lol. Looking good dude
, Northern Bright never heard of that before. Is it a Nothern lights cross?Also your SoG grow is much cleaner than others I've seen, no need to call it pure madness
lol. More like pure cleanliness to be honest, anyhow keep up the good work .

well to be honest they are 3 and some of them 4 foot tall, Northern bright is a mixture of Northern light and Haze (so its 50/50 Indica/sativa)

I would say so, unless you plan on doing a SoG setup like Ruffian. I like to split up my lumens and make sure my light penetration is solid. That's why I recommend 3-4 plants that are between 3-4 ft tall. You could even go SCRoG and increase your yield even more. Everyone has their own style of growing and what they recommend, that's just mine.
Nice, can't wait to see how much you yield dry weight come harvest time. Sounds like a nice hybrid, do you know the taste/smell of it?

Already answeredHey Chk, welcome to the club
You figure the sun puts out about 10k lumens per square foot, a MH at 4-5 inches gives out about 37k-57k lumens. So 5 plants is possible, but 4 would probably benefit more all around. Since they are babies still I'd recommend hanging the light 6 inches above for the moment, then lowering it back down when they're older. CFL's are not needed to be honest, it would cause extra heat.
Also you need some more ventilation and your heat should stay between 68 low and 78 high, especially if you plan on adding supplemental CFL lighting. Having the temps in the low 90's is going to stunt growth as well as impact the plants in other negative ways.
I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that, just trying to help out a little bit. Hope this helps some.
for the most part from a previous post. "When they're older" is around the 2 week period.As far as the other part of your question, You should already be seeing a new growth set if you're on the single starter leaves. Since you have a MH I would say within a couple days to a week at maximum.
