Yeah i know what you mean my temps are going up and up, i think im at 80 already 11:25 am
I need a/c that doesnt add to humidity.
My poor fans are spinning faster than the wheels of my stupidly powerful car.

Just make sure you dont purchase the portable ones they make a racket, I reckon the wide wall mounted ones are best. A bit costly though.

In this weather i'd say its worth it though, but this is the first proper summer with hot weather in the last 2 - 3 years so i dont know if it'd be worth it. I might just look into building a re-fridgeration unit with a compresser from a fride and feed the air through it in pipes and then pump that into the grow - coz if its in pipes it'll only be the same humidity as outside, maybe less because it'll be chilled slightly in the time it takes to go through all the bends in the tube inside the unit.

get atleast 12000BTU Air/con, im using a 9000BTU a/c and the tempz are steady on 76-77f and that wont go down while the weathers like this, my air con isnt in the room its blowing in from the centre side wall! i spose if i put the a/c into the growroom like i had it before i could take my temps down to 60f if i wanted them too but i dont have the space to put it bak in! its all about where u put the a/c.

i i got an AC unit, i'd just install it in my room as normal, and having it blow in the direction of the intake vents, it'll cool your room, the cab, and shouldn't interfere with the cab's environment too much?

yo robin, this for real? if so then that's a load off my shoulders, walked in from work at 8pm today, 90+ in the cab. i plan on flowering on the 13th of july, lucky number, lucky bud
and tell me about the humidity! i got woken up at about 8am the other day by the most insane rainstorm i've ever seen, so i hit an end, fell straight back to sleep and woke up to sunshine? anyways, got into work at 11:30, i walked 25m from the car to the door, i already had sweat dripping off my forehead. i have hyperhyosis or whatever it's called, but i havn't experienced that since walking out the door of HK airport

Id love to try outdoor but you need a mega safe pitch, my mates tried it years ago, Rabbits had a field day, they must have been watching my mates putting them in saying ''OH look its Pudding lol, its to late now as ive read and heard its best to get them in the start of june for best results, but again you just need a top spot, with no rabbits.

I was just in my set up, its reading 95f bang on, thats with 3 fans, 2 small desk and one large you could take off with, i also have 1 extract fan drawing into the loft, but the leaves are not drooping or showing they are not happy, i think the key is to keep the air or what air there is moving all the time.

yeh and you still need to keep an eye on them, ive got thousands of seeds but id still have to pull the males, and if it turned out good how do you get a bumper harvest back to you house, i might try some of the lowrider next year in my garden, but yeh a good place is hard to find, id love to grow on a high roof with no on looking eys, that must be cool as feck, like a tower block roof. or a nice QT farm would be cool, you just need out the way in this game.
