Just recently relocated my box to the basement to go more stealth. Dimensions are 2 x 2 x 4. I am running a 250 watt mh air-cooled hood for the ladies during veg, they are about 1 week old. This is my first grow btw...

2nd Floor
Light on- Temp 77-84 humidity 25-35
Light off- Temp 73-75 Humidity 35 45

Basement
Lights on- Temp 70-73 humidity 40-45
Lights off- :!: Temp 66-68 humidity 50-66 :!:

My Question is: HOW THE F!@# CAN I FIX THIS (As cheap as possible)

Additional info: stanley blower is exhaust, six inch duct fan intake, and plenty of fans on the inside. I CAN'T MOVE THE BOX BACK. It rained last night, but the box was still above 50% the last night cycle.

same response as other thread


nothing to fix there, would be nice to see humidity down abit but nothing major to worry about there
if possible run a dehumidifier and keep fans on constantly to prevent mold and mildew.
other than that al is well.​

yeah i agree all looks good, mine have been far hotter and pulled through fine.
humidity was similar (and still is) in my tents. I would leave the fans on (cheapest option)
or dehumidifier if you have the cash and space for it.
i have my fans on every couple of hours for half an hour to combat the humidity a little.

I ended up buying a heater since my temps went even lower (down to 63 at night). This helped with the temp problems and also the humidity. Thanks for responding.

Best bet...You are going to want to bring the humidity down when you flower to prevent mold/mildew.
