    What's up city!! first grow here, starting this journal a little late as I am in my 3rd week of veg. I have trouble with my temps, they are at the most extreme 95*f with lights on mostly around the higher 80's and 70 lights off. So far plants are growing pretty good I have a couple roots growing out of the 10" net pot. I'm growing in a hall closet. Wasn't really trying to drill any holes in the wall because of the fact that I rent but my bro in law is the land owner so I'm sure I can patch up when I leave. Any ideas how to do that would be helpful. I'll post pics of week 1-3 to show how e writhing is moving along. I started them on their 3rd day 50% strength of the Lucas formula being 4-8 now at week 3 I got them at full strength.

  3. Thanks man just when I thought I was done with the set up I find other things that can help. Trying to vent the closet is a real task so any info would be welcomed

  4. those temps are a little high, and you will run into problems with the roots if the soup can not stay cooler. I don't know an answer to the vent deal, but have been there before. Maybe grow in a bigger place? ( what I did, along with switching to RDWC) I hope this helps

  5. Been doing some
    Reading and maybe some co2 will help me out I can completely seal the closet and run a tank with regulator I've been told that I can also just run the tank on a timer and the co2 it throws out actually cools the room a little.

  12. Yes try to keep your plants cool obtain clip on fans to medium temperature and get a dehumidifier to allow better air flow place one or two fans upwards the third fan towards. Your plant
     
  13. I have two 6in clip on fans one pointing at the plants oscillating and I have one above my light clipped on to the pole where I'm hanging my light from didn't really help. I have a shelf in there can I cut out holes so the heat can rise all the way up?! I noticed that on top of the shelf the heat stays about 5 degrees lower.
