So ive been struggling with keeping heat down. I now have the AC running, but my growbox (2 rubbermaids) is still at about 88-89 degrees.
I have the following CFLs hooked up
4 5000K 23 watt bulbs
1 5000K 43 watt bulb
1 2700K 43 watt bulb
do you think it would be a better idea to take out the 2700K since the extra lumens it provides isnt worth the extra heat generated? Growth has been pretty slow, but my plants are also sativas, so i dont know if thats expected.
the 2700K is also not directly over the plants (other bulbs are), and is probably about 6 inches away (off to the side), so i dont even know if its contributing much light as it is.
opinions?
