This temp thing is a pain in the ass !
Start of week 6 flower . 600 watt hps / dehumidifier outside tent pulling air. Got Intake/exhaust also
Today with lights off 76/39rh .. couldn't b happier with that . But then light comes on and temp 82-84/39rh
Any suggestions on how to get the temp down 4-6degress ?
 
Having same problem my lights come on 4pm might adjust to 5 half past maybe. Mine were 84.9 for hour or 2. Bought air con for £140 by time it gets here our summer probaly gone. Only other way co2 enritchment but like cracking a walnut with sledge hammer in this case. Know people that only run autumn and spring. If it's hotter outside than your optimal temps what you gonna do? Cooltube maybe ?

Can u send link to air con you purchased?Looked at some most was $500+
 
Yeah no probs shame really cause you might not have bought dehumidifier. I use my dehumidifier in winter for drying my clothes so I'm not to bothered. But your one cost loads. Mine is good bit of kit only cost £110. I'll dig out where it came from amazon I think when I Finnish here
 
Right I'm just trying to find out a few more things about it. Am not sure if it's got a thermostat might just blow out cold air. said air con not air cooler. Air cooler makes humidity go up. Was amazon there are 7 left trying get more info now
 
Only 2 left in stock but am increasingly thinking this has been labelled wrong. If it's air cooler it will be going back and I've spotted one for £200 that definitely air con. Gonna find out have e mailed seller. And keep looking just in case not what I want when it gets here
 
Seller has contacted me and apologised for bad English is Spanish. It's air cooler so have cancelled and looking at £200 model but there are second hand ones on e bay for £100

Dehumidifier keeps flower tent at 39rh but need to stay in top of dumping 50 pint tank
No drain hooked up .
Veg tent is great LO 85/60rh. LOff 75-65rh
 
Got 3 plants starting week 7 of flower . There 9week strains . Was thinking of starting flush . My last cycle which was my first wasn't flushed enough . So thinking of flushing early for experience of seeing the difference . What are thoughts about flushing this early ? Possibly 2-2.5 weeks b4 harvest .

2 week flush will get you the best fade, Id start the flush if the trichs were mostly cloudy
 
Update .. 2 Blue Cheese in flower doing well. One is on week 3 right back corner the other week 2 back left corner and stretching like crazy . Will increase feed on them the next few weeks before easing off. 3 other beast in front are on week 8 and flushing has begun.
Temp/RH is great Light on 78/41
Off 74/43

How many cfm is your exhaust fan pulling and what size space you wanting to cool. Also how many bends are there in the exhaust line and what size filter are you pulling thru? Are you pulling the air thru a Air Cooled hood?

In addition, to help set aside some worries if you can stay at 82-84 you can still grow fine cannabis at those temps...... But as we all know if you can get your temps at an optimum range of 75-78 all the better.
 
Got 6in 440cfm exhaust pulling from light and filter . 4by4by7ft tent
Temps have been between
76-82 RH 40-46
It's been hot outside and my basement where my tent is 78-85ish

Been at work all day. Are you exhausting the air from the tent out side of the lung room. In other words is the hot air flow leaving the room the tent is in? or is it being dumped into the ambient surrounding room the tent is in?

Depending on the ac capacity you may be able to solve your issues with it. Just be sure your exhausting both your tent exhaust and now the AC. Ac's generate a lot of heat waste and you dont want that in your lung room.
