Heat Problems with my LED!!!

You should always keep good strong air movement around your plants regardless of what kind of lighting you're using or it's strength and heat production. LED's tend to burn hotter to plants than other forms of lighting, so you have to hang them high and then gradually lower them to a safe distance from the plants. If your tent is getting up to the 95 degree mark, your plants are going to really be negatively affected by it. You've either got to come up with a bigger grow space or break down and put in an in line fan and some duct work to pull the heat out of the tent. Since you say you're leaving the tent open to lower the temp inside, I'm assuming you're in the veg stage. When you go into flower, assuming you're planning to use the same light, you can't open the tent to help your heat situation. You can't have light fluctuations while plants are flowering...as you well know. But any time you're growing in a confined space, heat is your biggest problem...regardless of the type of lighting you're using. I would get me a really good strong fan and put it in the tent blowing around my plants. Don't point a fan straight at them because they don't like that. Just put a strong fan in there and have it move the plants around. This works as sort of a strengthener for your plants as well as dispersing heat from around your plants. But you've GOT to get your temps down in there. Get the environment right and watch how pretty your plants get. TWW

 

You need an exhaust for proper air exchange so there's a fresh supply of co2 not just removing warm air. Even with temps under control you need a proper exhaust set up.

 

Not much to consider bro. If you want your plants to grow to potential proper air exchange isn't an option.

 

Ventech 6in fan and filter combo $189 on Amazon.... Just save money, get the proper equipment and be amazed at the light. I'm very happy with California light works

 

Yea it really does help, only thing is I wish I got a higher rated CFM fan, it's ok to get a stronger fan and get a fan speed controller so you can have it operating at a lower speed

 

If you get a stronger fan with a controller you can dial it down to lower the noise... It sounds like white noise most of the time.
