You can get a cool tube for $36 they are cheap.

This was the shortest cooltube I could find in america. Dimensions with wing reflector on are 17-3/8"(L) x 14"(W) x 6"
With reflector off 17-3/8" (L)x6"(W)x 6"

Thanks a lot guys!!! I rally appreciate it.
I'll invest in a cooltube soon then :)
It sounds like the best thing to do right now.
But I'm not sure how to build the whole thing, with ducting and stuff, given the small size of the cab...

That's what the top of the cab looks like (ain't exactly the same version but it gives you an idea..)


There's already a carbon filter in there but it's useless as I leave the doors open all the time...

Is there enough space to put a cool tube as well as ducting in there?

Thank you!

Peace,

(I'll update later with pics by the way!:)

The dimensions of that cool tube includes reflector so you could leave the wing reflector off for space saving if need be.

Thanks for your reply!
Probably a silly question, but can a cooltube still help without additional ducting?

That's what I love about autos. Can just keep plugging them in long as there is room

I would say hook your filter on the in-side of the tube. Then the out-side can suck from that hole the charcoal filter currently plugs in.

To ensure proper cooling you would ideally want the air being pulled out of the room.
Even if it the hot air is dumped into an adjacent room. It needs a supply of cooler air not saturated with btu's. In order to wick the heat away.

If the air stays saturated with heat.
Even with a cooltube nothing would change.

Yesterday after reading your previous comment I decided to try to reorientate the airflow by making the fan blow in a way that allows for hot air to get out of the cab. I think you're right, it's all about having good airflow. I'm still far from that, but your messages surely help! I'll try to figure something out.
Peace!

Word. I actually have a quite small box (80x80cm) so air-exchange and ventilation are very crucial. Sometimes, if I forget to readjust the fan to my vented hood, I easily get a 3 degree difference. Just by moving the fan a little bit, I can get the temps down again to 23C, which is quite fine for me in flower I guess. My humidifier also helps a lot in cooling the air.

Yes!
I got mad at heat to a point - I completely removed the upper doors of the cab and placed the fan just there, blowing air between the light and the canopy. Since then, it's much cooler in the room where the cab is... Plus my plants don't smell that much so I can just leave it like that forever I guess..!!
Thanks for passing by!

AUTO LEMON BUBBLE, DAY 28!

She's now 20"! :D

SUPERNATURAL OG, DAY 24!

Always getting the same deficiency at that point... At least I think it is a def...

AUTO DAIQUIRI LIME, DAY 10!

 

[FrankieCoste]

Alright guys, been a little while since the last update.
I've been busy with the Green Crack and also trying to figure out what it is I do wrong (there's always the same kind of def or else around week 4).

AUTO LEMON BUBBLE, DAY 34!

I like her a lot, and she's getting tall and all, like a proud Sativa but her leaves... Her leaves are making me sad...

 

[FrankieCoste]

AUTO DAIQUIRI LIME! DAY 16

All I can say is WOOOOW, she's so fat!
I've never grown such a beast before.
Well, Dutch Passion rates her as XXL LOL... I'm glad my airpots are only 10L..!

SUPERNATURAL OG, DAY 30!

 

[FrankieCoste]

The worst I could imagine, happened - Frankie got busted last night...........
I don't know what to do.
I feel disgust and even worst than that.
Spent the night in a fucking jailcell, now free again.
They took it all, including the cab, the lights, the 3 plants, and all my Green Crack buds that were drying.
I don't know what to do.
Good thing is, they didn't find the Sour Hound that is germinating, and didn't find the seeds in the fridge.
Anyways, I am sorry to let you down guys.
But I'm gonna figure something out anyways.
This fucking country really is the worst.
The chief cop even said, when I was freed, that I should keep on doing what I'mdoing because the quality is much higher...
What the hell?
This is system is just a machine, and the people working for the system are philosophical zombies.
I might just move to Spain someday. It seems so much more relax out there.
Like, I just found a new passion - growing plants - and now I'm considered a criminal in my country.
Stupid shit...
I apologise for my French, but I'm really frustrated, to say the least.
More than a thousand bucks thrown out the window :(

 

[Ooopsi]

What??? Oh man... That's some serious bad news!!! Feeling so sorry for you! Dunno what else I could say... Damn!
Didn't they say why they where after you or how they found out? After all, you didn't do anything 'bad'? The fuckers, really... If that happened to me, I'd be pretty much scared to grow for some time... Man... 3 plants and you bet busted... Wtf...
And oh, you're French? So we're like neighbours... ;)
Man, keep your head up high... Wishing you all the best!!!
