zolrooker Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 This seems now like it might be a problem. I left everything running from about 6 am. 6 hours later and the temp almost hit 30deg. How can I control it? Should I get a cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolrooker Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Also, my jiffys seems very dry and it's only been 1 and a half day since I watered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The low humidity and high temp will dry it out faster yes, you'll have to gauge it as its something we cant teach you as it depends on many things, you'll see and feel when water is needed. You can get a cooler, or bring in air faster, if its cooler outside, or at push an aircon. You might have issues with a more powerful light and temp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateNoob Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks brother! Ill take some pics tonight. Can I add the 75w led to the mix as well as a supplemental light ? I guess the more the better? My main light is 3500k and supplemental has mostly Reds (which I believe will be beneficial in the flowering stage apparently) . See pic below. Ignore where it says 216w lolI've completed a grow with a similar light, it flowered really well. Got around 0.83g/w. I think it would make a good supplemental in flowerSent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing you can do, and it stabilizes the temps more which is what you want ideally, a stable and less changing temps. Change your grow around, if your lights come on at 6am and off at 6pm, for example, then you rather run the lights at night when its cooler, and off in the day when its hottest, so on at 6pm and off at 6am, flowering example. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see what happens. Might run it like that for now, while i look for a suitable cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Sure for this run, you cant swop now. Next time, As @CreX says, will help definitely. I am just not sure he wants his cupboard open at all, and after the stealth look and in disguise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolrooker Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thinking of getting this Can i then hook this up along with the heater to my temp controller and maintain a temperature between 24-29. If it hits 29, cooler will kick in, if it hits 21, heater will bring it back to 25. Will constant temperature swings like this be an issue?

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I really dont want to discourage you, in all honesty I stay away from a cooler, and something small as such you linked is not going to make a big change at all. Aircon or next grow swop day and night around. Maybe others have got a cooler and can advise, but my understanding was not worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolrooker Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) So, i think im just going to move my plants to my grow space tonight and run the lights at night. Maybe leave the lights off between 9AM and 3PM and get a small cooler which might only be used in those few hours that the lights are on during the day. Would that potentially work? Or are there other times that you guys suggest? Other option is for me to leave the seedlings in the temporary space i have them in currently as the temp is no issue there and then transfer to the main cabinet when its no longer considered a seedling Edited July 9, 2020 by zolrooker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added some water to my "tray" earlier and let the jiffy suck it up from the bottom like @StickyD420 suggested. If keeping 2-3mm of water in the tray works for you then i think im definitely gonna do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how i have it set up atm. i was over-watering it in the beginning and now ive stopped watering as much for the past couple of days and have have seen an improvement . Was trying to find a balance on how much to water since it seems like the heater and fan are drying it out a little quicker than first anticipated.. but if i can just add water to the bottom, to the point where there is a little excess water floating around, that would be perfect .

Maybe ill just get a small spray bottle and give a small spray or two on top if it ever seems too dry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
