New Grower Fan filter question

[DeeAutoKid]

Ok so for this heat issue, I have tried everything, the original set up vented through the attic and out a vent on the roof, the little wood box that my autos are in and my light is hanging from, was going to be closed off completely with an intake hole, I'm not in Cali right now I'm I'm a hotter humid state and in summer, it's so hot even with my ac running it's 81 at best in the whole house. My attic is probably like 120 at least. When fixing my ducting one day I noticed a board laying over a whole and I picked it up and it was just laying over and opening that 3'x4' that was directly over my little central ac unit which is in my bathroom adjoining walls with my closet I have my grow. All this is in a bathroom of my bedroom. Iv taken filter off and ran fan and ligjt only, iv honestly tried every thing I could think ok. I have it where my lights are off though in the hottest part of the day which helps a little. But right now what is working best is having a fan blowing at the light with another fan oscillating. Temp is best now, but I'm still getting the heat coming from somewhere it's making my central ac run like shit to. Right befor we got the best wave I could run light at 100 with very little heat issues. Now I'm at 75 and having trouble. I'll send some pics that I have for a visual, but let me know if you have questions or are confused <br />[quote uid=28863 name="Ozone69" post=1097839]One thing I'm curious about is the spaces round where the vent goes out the top of the closet. It looks pretty well sealed where it goes through the attic, but where it leaves the grow box it looks like there is open space. If that's wide open, and there's a decent seal around most of the rest of the box, then the replacement air would come largely from there into the box, following the path or least resistance. What's the temp in the space between the box and the attic?<br /><br />I dunno...I may need to re-read in the morning when I've smoked less and can wrap my brain around stuff better.

OK let me ask you this... Forgive me if you stated this already...

Do you have any open out take? Anything that is bringing in fresh air as the fan is sucking the heat out?

Hey no don't worry about the questions you are helping me out. Do you mind if I send you to my page so you can read the issue and see the pictures ?

Im curious to see if you can find a solution to this. hopefully we ca both have cooler temps

So i moved the tent into a spare bedroom and someway somehow i cannot get the temps to come down from 85 degrees if i run it a 400w. I've been dimming it down to 250w because of this.Fan is running on the lowest setting, if i increase the speed it seems to increase the temps.

Room is kept at around 77 degrees. I was thinking of adding an additional fan just dedicated to cooling the light. It's currently venting outside through a window. I used the wicker blind and foam "method" ,Anyway heres a picture of the set up, any feedback will be appreciated.

85 degrees is pretty good. I wouldn't stress over that... I mean you could be lower but I don't believe 85 degrees will cause stress... You should be just fine.

this is what I'm working with 3 weeks into flower, had a bad day with humidity, but I sealed up my attic hole in the last two picture's. I Just built a false wall and it worked well. My main issue is the ac where babies live. I can't get it below 82 in the day time, then in the closest it's even warmer, I keep lights off to help a little. I'm working on dialing that in, but we have checked and fixed and cleaned all typical maintenance, and problems. It's just really old. But the plants are handling it well so far. Still only have to water/feed them about once a week. So the plants are 43 days old. I'm going to try tsking scrubber off a few other things y'all have mentioned and I'll let you know how that goes

That's the pic I was thinking off. The space in the top where it goes out caught my eye.

This was when I was setting in up, it is screwed and sealed up from the top, and it's sealed on the bottom also. I'm going to cut the ducting down as much as possible, hopefully at least 50% of its length.

Looks great! Temps are fine. There's no need to stress. Everything looks great to me!
