Am I good to go/start?

Hello RIU.

Ive gathered information from this site for some time and gotten some help from the threads Ive made. Now I want to know if Im good to begin the operation. My main concern would be the temperatures which I cant really do anything about except making or buying an AC, it will raise slightly towards the summer but if its hot here - its 75f outside

However, this setup is tents inside a closet. One for flower and one for veg in the same closet. I have an oscilating fan blowing air from inside the closet to the outside having the door slightly open, seems to do the job and its definatly helping lowering the temp (or else the air would stagger and get lots hotter).

Lights is diy cob leds (Vero 18s), 75w + 30w all together.

The ambient temperature in the grow area (closet) is 73-75f and inside the tents - in the lit/light area(distance 3 feet) is 78-80f and the humidity around 40%.

Seem to be okay for flower, not optimal(?).
I think I can raise the humidity in the veg area with a simple glas-off-water-towel-method, havent tested it yet but anything above 40% is better.

As you notice I have a pretty high ambient temperature and I wont have the swings that some people praise.

I dont really know what the recommended temperature are these days as the threads says everything from 75 to 90f when Ive searched.

All the measurements are after running it for 10h straight.

You can get booster fans from amazon. I paid $23 for a 4', and $28 for a 6'. They dont move as much air as an inline fan but they work pretty well and there cheep. Add a speed controller for another $20, so you can dim it or go full blast, plus it will help with the sound.
You need some fresh air in there.
How big are your tents?

Sorry, forgot to add that I got exhaust from the tents sorted, about 1 airchange per minute. Its a microgrow, 50x50x100cm. Like 10 cubic feet or something and a slightly smaller for the veg stage.

I know this is cutting it slim, however its the way I have to go. Im tired of using the black markets as it is crap and getting ripped off.

If I habe the oscilating blow air out from the closet from the top of the door, doesnt it automaticly pull from the bottom? Im air is blown out it has to replenish itself, thats my theory atleast.

Ive had really bad experience with inlines and fan controller, the engine started to hum and its way above 40db :/
