Bad to worse. Weather.. for growing

[MediGrower]

What measures if any do you guys take in your grows

A. For the insane heat.

Eg. My air intake at night can be 26+ with air out 33+ centigrade.

B. If there is a storm on the way handle the power cut's

Re lighting/pumps/fans... do you turn off and intwrrupt the light period rather than risk them blow or use surge protection etc
*I am but not sure surge protection would make a difference with L.E.D Lighting*

Luckily I'm not in the NFT system yet so would just be the light/fans for now but worth knowing any tips tricks you use

A. Portable AC

B. Power backup and generator.

I've tried that approach with a dehumidifier but barely touched it temp wise. Just insane heat's rn... how yours coping with 35s.

I'm using ice packs near the intakes cooler feed water and all sorts. When they go in the system I'm hoping it will level out having that 40 Ls of cool water under them and running over them as right now root temp's are less than ideal. 26c avg but 28c at times.
Humidity is low tho 40-45 % RH.


At the moment they are just waiting to show a few more roots.

Thought you hydro guys use water chillers to keep ya water cold well 22c i think some said
Im in soil and me ladies are only 3 weeks old they get there right amount of water plus they have nice breeze from the fans
Friend said freeze some 1.5ltr botttles and leave them in the tent with fan on them....

Just got bare it for now uk weather well sun only last a week here and there
Sounds like your more tropical place.....

Nice to meet you dude

That AC in the Amazon link won’t do what you need unfortunately. Luckily where I live you can find nice portable ACs on Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace and whatnot for $200. I’d keep an eye on places like that for a good one and I’d suggest cooling the room the tent is in like MrNice said if possible. If not, cover the front of the AC with an exhaust duct and run that into a bottom vent on your tent. For a portable AC to work it will need to be able to exhaust the hot air from the units exhaust out of that room through a window to the outside preferably.

I have a water chiller for res temps too.

[MediGrower]

yes chillers for the water in hydro 18-20 my are waiting to go in so wont know my res tank temp until then. but im guessing high if it stays like this.

glad yours are doing well yes mine just starting the 3rd week ish.

LED you want the temps a bit higher but this is madness lol

like you say hopefully this wont last long. yes im on a tropical island :)

and you buddy thanks again
