Eh your temperature can be controlled by fans easy. If you're using a MH and HPS then put a fan blowing on the bulb (not on the plant) and that helps. You will probably still need an exhaust system of some kind depending on the room your growing in. As for your drying, it can be done with simple things like fishing line. Just tie fishing line from one object to another in like a dark closent (don't want it to be light bcause light degrades thc) and hang your bud up in there for 5-10 days depending on the preference of dry you want.

i have been lookin and got a few MJ bible, per say, and i got a air cooled reflector with fan in in the ducking.. had a friend that he was doing good will he started todry and it went moldy, whne i do get to the point of harvesting and drying , would u be willing to help, woulod want to loose my crop. im lookin at doing Big Bang and Church, since they look like they would do flowering about the same time.
do u think if i insulated the part that was the house that it might help also in the control of tempature and humidty, or insulate all the walls of the grow room,, what do U think ???

Yea insulation will help is the cold your issue? Because if the room is too hot insulation will make it hotter ad sure man about the drying.

If ur mate got mold on his curing then his room was not ventilated enough. The combination of too much heat and moisture caused this simple as that, keep ur closet or room or whatever scale u want to dry in almost like ur rooms, except dark.

read up on the lights, thanks that was really helpfull,, i got a couple M/H bulbs, 600 watt agromax n a sunmaster, and an agromax Hps . there theroy of putting ur hand in between the light and top of plants sounds like a winner. im only doing about 2 types of strains 2 each so 600 watt should cover them both and they sound like from the info i got that they would also grow to about the same highn yield.
but thanks for akll that info, will use it when i have a problem.
