Thanks guys. I'll pop the cf on when I smell some pong Duke.

I've had to take the cmh out today, it's too hot for it in there and the thermal safety cut out keeps tripping the ballast.

So I popped the LED in there instead, still at 29*C ish. FFS.





They all had a litre of Welsh water through them with a mosquito dunk soaked overnight to try and kill the fungus gnat larvae.

I got me a new Black Orchid extractor fan just recently @Marcus but instead of the rvk/ruk kind i bought me a hybrid fan, its twin speed and and on lowest speed setting on full it moves a little more than my old rvk type, but yes when on full whack it blasts shit loads more were talking x 2 as much. Anyhow gist of it is my room hasn`t been over 30c according to variac temp controller and 31c with hygrometer. That`s running with 400hps and 100 led in that small dinky cupboard grow space that i use. I`m well impressed with it to say the least mate. I recon i could get 600 hps in their tbh not that it`s called for. Thought i`d mention it.

Would the extraction not move more heat if it was attached to top of grow room where heat rises as well, just a thought.

I've got the tent door open Jimmi and a fan up top taking the air away from the lamp. I've had it before with this ballast when it gets too hot, it just turns the lamp off.

The LEDs will do for summer use though. It's easily the hottest room in the house, so I need to get a little drobe built in the garage.

I got a 10inch GAS extractor if I need it, but it'll suck the shit out of the tent.

Looking hood what kind of light fo you have going on here ?

Cheers man, the light is an Invisible Sun one. 4RXL I think. I cut the bars down to fit the 1.2 tent and re-positioned the lights on it for an even spread.

I really like my 315w CMH, but it's too hot in this house for it so the LEDs do the trick just as good. (I hope)

[Marcus]

LED light also off after coming on this morning... Looks like my digital time switch is fucked.

No wonder Maplins went bust.



BUT, it's gonna be 26*C at the weekend and the tent's hitting 28*C with it being 18*C outside, so I'm running the LED for the rest of the grow and keeping the CMH for the winter.

[Marcus]

Well, another rotation of this rock we live on has passed...





They all seem to like life at the moment.

I haven't touched them today, might not need to till the weekend and I may give them a squirt of organic liquid grub.

Outdoor Cali O is getting some rays this week... She's in soil for tomato plants.



I'm going to patent my keepy planty uprighty sticky...
