No pic's today.. I averted a disaster and have been struggling with high heat in the tent 84F and also at the same time the girls wanted to start drinking and the root mass in these 7gal bags must be very good as these girls just about drank the soil dry. Put about 15gals of water back into the soil across the 5 rain science bags. Probably just in time so I hope I don't have any yield issues as a result.
So how I handled the heat issue was to open the tent up and put a 12" oscillating fan in front of the 4x4 main door and just blow it out really good and shut down the CMH light for a few hours and left just the Cob's on. After that I'm just using the 12" fan outside the tent to keep the cooler air circulating in the garage and allow the passive vents to pull cooler air from around the tent. I feel like there wasn't enough airflow outside of the tent and the hot air exhausted was just hanging around the tent and being pulled back in passively. I'm going to see how that runs going into June and just might not be able to run the tent in the summer unless I purchase a external portable AC unit to cool the tent. I just don't want to spend $750 on that and deal with the increased energy cost too. I realized too that the small clip on fans are just not going to cut it as the growth has the tent filled up like a jungle and no matter how much I defoliate I really need some good oscillating fans in the tent facing down into the canopy. The 7Gal bags are really helping to contribute to some growth. I'm looking at the AC Infinity Cloudray S6 but would really like the S9 to handle the interior air circulation. Especially if I can just get past this bump in the road I'll wait on the S9.
This is from two days ago and did a major defoliation in the tent and also bumped up the airflow on the in-line to 9 now. Having to open the tent up for a few hours each day to keep the temp and humidity down.
