Are you throwing all that Ac'ed air outside too fast?
Thank you Alex. The air going out of the extractor is quite war. Haven't meassured it but seems like 29 to 31° while the intake air is pretty cold, 22° but feels colder.
I don't fully understand how to meassure heat inside the tent.
The lamp emits heat and that heat is most probably heating the thermometer's plastic.
Air may be a bit colder but still don't understand what difference would it make to meassure heat in the shade as the main colas are still being hit by the light's emitted heat.
In other words... how do I meassure air heat? Should place the thermometer at the end of the extractors duct? Should I place it right at the colas so that I know how the lamp is heating the plant at the top because of closeness to the leds? I've read plenty of documentation on this matter. Anyways, 31° is way too high even if it is the lamp heating the plastic and colas.
If I lower the led's power through the dimmer then temperature does fall considerably.
My guess is that the Mars Hydro are too powerfull for a 60x60x160 at 100% of it's power. But... is it worth to reduce it's power and hence reduce the tent's heat? I may loose more by dimming it to 75% and having lower/more acceptable temperatures than keeping it at 100% and having 31 degrees?
Thanks,
