Hi all, just set up my tent 900x500x1600mm
1x 250w CFL
1x 4" inline fan on speed control
Temp mon fan on/off control
Now for me to keep my temp around the 24 c mark I have to have my fan running pretty much all the time as the tent sits at 33.1 c 33.0 c (outside temp was 26c at this time)with no fan or anything going. What is the down side of running my fan all the time or how can I keep the temp down or what will happen if the tent remains at this temp of 33.1 ???
I know 24 is great but hear in Aus it's over 24 most of the time

If the ambient temps are higher than your targeted indoor temps, you may need to add a air conditioner.
You could get by adding a air cooled hood.
Bring fresh air outside into the hood and directly outside.
This will separate outside temps from entering your grow.
You could also switch your lights so they run in the evening when it's cooler.

Looks like an ac might he the way as it is currently 2:47am amd the temp is 25.3c lol I don't know much about the air cooled hoods do they just hook upto my existing fan setup ??

This is what they look like.
If you have a inline fan you would connect it to one side, preferably sucking the air directly outside the house.
The other side, the intake, would be a passive intake from outside also.
You will have a better chance at keeping your room cooled this way if your ambient temps are in your target range.
By doing the way I suggested it will pull fresh air from outside across the bulb and blow the hot air directly outside. Making your room much cooler.
