Since you are in a cabinet-thingy, I would also make sure you have plenty of circulation around the light up to the exhaust. You probably already thought of that, but I'm a stoner, and I don't mind people pointing out obvious stuff to me ;) Sometimes I don't see the forest for the treez

There is the upper part, it seems like if the exhaust fan is good it should be able to get the hot air out. Temps have been pretty good in there but ambient temps have been good. Ran all 3 lights yesterday to see and it was 5 degrees f above. I'm happy with that since this is the only bad time of the year really.

I actually have 2 mufflers and another 4" infinity fan coming tomorrow. The fan I can hook up to the same temp/humidity controller or it has it's own so I can have on different settings since it will be for intake.

Not sure the best way to do the settings on the digital fans. Any advice appreciated. Also hoping it will go in the way I would like, though i was also thinking i could mount it in the filter box that the res. sits on. That would be a task, though worth it since space is pretty valuable. Probably just install it in the box to start and see the results.

I got the mufflers because I think it will have better airflow on the exhaust, currently a carbon filter on each end I think may bog it down?. Both now are just for noise reduction since there is no odor.

Got my fan and silencers set up. Really quiet! And seems to get it a bit cooler. Will get a better idea if it is good when the lights come on. Only 80 degrees today though.

Picked up another clone, just because I'm kind of offended how bad I messed up the start on the others and I want do one right before i do 4 wrong again!

Intake is 6 degrees below ambient, so that is nice to see!

Best to try to adjust everything with your exhaust fan(s) at about 1/2-3/4 speed. It's always good to have some power in reserve if you have issues.

I like that idea and I am experimenting with different locations on the intake to get lowest temps. Kinda seems like these 4" fans don't move much till they are at 3/4 speed

Set the plants outside for a while. Had to move some things around in the grow box and make the light rack smaller for the last time!! Everything I was working on aside from putting in the new intake was a hindsight issue!

I think my grow box is just about complete. Still kinda want to put the intake fan into the intake filter but that will be a bit of a project. Maybe for next grow!

New clone is forbidden fruit. In coco, watered with 5.9ph 330ish ppm. Got it from harborside in sj. They had a bunch to choose from and all looked pretty nice aside from a little light or nute burn or both. Unfortunately they didnt really have any strains that peaked my interest much. I have seen forbidden fruit around but never had any. Hopefully that will change!

Hey guys my roots finally dropped into my reservoir after 11 days. They are bright sparkly white!! However, I noticed on my second set of “true leaves” that they are a light light green/ almost yellow and curled downwards. If I snap a few pics could you guys help me figure out what could be the source? (Cal mAg deficiency, over watering etc) Or let me know if I’m just being paranoid
