She'll reover if she has a spare leave left to convert the light into energy...With the extraction fan what size is it and what are your current temps with it on..My last grow i had a fan that sounded like a jet engine as well just went to a hard ware store bouth a lenght of 2x1 and sheet of plywood made a box and stuffed it full of insulation from the attic....I hung it then from the top of the closet with bungee cords to minimise vibration I must say it worked the trick....

I will try that actually it won't hurt have some old towels laying aorund the place...Not to worried yet as the wardrobe is open and not closed off at the back so the RH is the full bedroom humidity as soon as i have her boxed off i'm going to start worrying about the humidity then. The frequent spraying is helping a lot and the jug of water I have sitting in there the RH is up to 55% a lot better than 40-45%...Those dual CFL's are the tits man hope to get one as soon as this grow is over...Thanks for stopping by bro

The fans 100mm, there's a lot of suction just doesn't seem to be dropping the temps. Raised the light another inch so at 5 inches away now, 4 and half from the bubble.
I had to secure the fan to the top of the box, inside, so it isn't pulling air straight up, could that be the problem? No room to put any ducting on the intake part to point down.

Well once its pulling air out of the grow box it should bring down the temps as its taking out the hot air from the top of the box have you some ducting running away from the box so that you bring the air to the other side of the room away from the grow...Pity you can't get some ducting to take the air away from the light...How log has the fan been running and what temps are you currently on dude...

Bout 3 hours and still 28 ambient, 32 just below outside top of pot. Yea ducting running out the back of the cabinet and along the wall behind another unit.

Wo I don't believe that dude bad buzz...Have you an intake fan or are you using passive intake??what wer your temps again before you put in the fan

 

[SmokeyMcPot]

Passive intake man, well the doors slightly open and theres a small desk fan outside blowing air in but not a proper intake.
its only dropped temps by about a degree, will try and just use the inner core of the ducting and see if thatll fit in to point down.
checked plants this morning and bubble looking great, widow no improvement, arrrh. anyways, I think i may just buy a smaller watt CFL for now,
if the new ducting doesnt fit.

Ah man that sucks.Did you manage to fit some duct down to the light dude..I started the work on my grow area last night got the back of the wardrobe all boxed off just need to line it now with the white mylar and hang the doors but won't put those on till I have my exhaust fan I taught my temps would have gone up with less air circulating in there but its all good. I have a small desk fan blowing between the light and the ST semms to be working the ambient temp is 26.5 but temps next to the plant are 24.8. I hope you can get your temp issue sorted with out having to downgrade your lighting. Cool karma for you bro
