Hi folks so i done my first grow OG#18 smoke wise was excellent yeild was not great environment varied mainly lights off being the problem temps too low this along with not ph testing water had undoubtedly affected yeild anyway ive been shopping

I Have a 2.4 x 1.2 x 2 m tent
3 600w hps lights
8" CF with 8" rvk for extraction using passive intakes

the previous one lights on temps were fine adding the 3rd 600w has made temps rocet to 30 32

I intend on switching the 8" rvk for an intake and using a 10" RUCK for extraction should this not bring it down would a fan controller help or a bigger cf ?

im adding another tent to room same size just have 6" CF and fan for that again using passive intakes so need to get 1st sorted but am expecting slight rise when turn 2nd oneon so any help would be great.

I have to work with what oi have so will be changing the fans over when start running the 3 lights together but i figure theuy r running full now and not keeping it down so how would a controller help ? exept lights out.

Personally, I would have stuck with 2 600 watts.
your lumes were great in that space.
