I have a friend who is doing their first legal grow in America, however his internet has crashed so he has contacted me to try and find a solution.
The Problem is heat!
It is a stealth cabinet grow currently with a 125w dual spectrum for 2 plants in 5l pots. They understand that this might not be the best set up but its what they have.
Apparently temps usually sit around 85'F or 29.5'C which is quite hot on its own but temps have reached 111'F or 44'C on the odd occasion.
The temps are being measured at the average height of the plant, Apparently they are around 2 weeks old (from sprouting) and are an autoflower strain.
They haven't browned or discolored and are still a health green and growing daily, however some of the leaves are curling up at the edges and some apparently seem to be almost spiraling around ( not curling under but twisting sideways) not massively but a little.
There are 2 80mm PC fans ,one intake and one outtake, which more than cover the cfm needed for the space.
So what do you think he should do to reduce the temps?
Add two more PC Fans?
Also if they were do do this, roughly speaking one fan is in a bottom corner and the other is in the opposite top corner, would the two extra fans if they were to be attached on the opposite side of the cabinet be placed so that the intake are both at the front and outake both at the back or so that both intakes are say bottom right on each side, so from the front one would be near the front and one near the back?
Add a PC fan inside to increase circulation?
Reduce light hours as they are currently running 20/4 - 20 on and 4 off
Also can anyone recommend any threads about building scrubbers/ carbon filters?
Would a carbon cooker hood filter work? As apparently it has started smelling not of full flower but a smell they would like to remove.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
