Hey guys! First time poster, long time reader. I appreciate all the hard work the big contributors to this site do! This is my first grow in several years, so I guess you can say I'm a bit rusty. I have a 2x4 grow room, (4) 4 ft. 54 Watt 6500K lumen flourescents (only two turned on currently and probably will remain throughout most of veg.) and 2 fans. One is a tower oscilatting fan and another is a circular 12" fan. My seedlings are 2 1/2 days along right now and are sprouting in Rapid Rooter cubes. The only problem with my current setup is the temperature in my grow room. I chose the corner of my closet because it's the most secure and discreet area available to me. I have sealed this 2x4 area and and put my mylar on all four sides. My main goal is to be able to keep this area closed. Although with the door closed temps reach as high as 86-88 degrees. With the door open, temps fall to 78-82 degrees. I have another osciallating tower fan that should be coming in the mail tomorrow. This a much better fan that is supposedly able to keep a small area cool and has a built in thermostat. I'm hoping this new fan will be able to cool down my grow area so I can keep the door closed and my grow area secure.
Currently, I have my grow room door open to provide venilation and I'm having the circular fan blow in fresh air. The temp has stayed around 78-82 degrees throughout most of the 2 1/2 days since the seedlings sprouted, depending on the time of day and how warm it is outside. It has been fairly warm the past few days, mid 80's or so. Although, it should be cooling down drastically over the next few weeks with fall on the horizon. So I doubt I'm going to have to worry about this issue for too much longer. But in the meantime, does any one have any suggestions or tricks on how to keep my grow room cool? I also think my lights might be a bit too powerful for the small area? I'm limited in what I can install. Squirrel cage fans or any kind of sophisticated venitlation systems and too expensive and too much noise. My main goal is too keep this room below 80 degrees and still being able to keep it closed and discreet.
Thanks guys!
