Yoo Herbal thanks a lot man appreciate the comments and your valuable input and right on time :thumbs:
- Experienced some high temps in the upper 80's due to spring weather, hight temps outside. I have an 80mm inside the box and then another 80mm attached/stacked to double the power and I have more 80's laying around you think if I drill another exhaust 80 mm outtake next to it would suffice??? What you think bro?
- Just moved them up they're about 4 inches now. And your correct there's 3- 23w 6700k and 1- 13w 2700k. Also I was actually looking at the same Blackstar 100w LED UFO your about to get I emailed Lighthouse for the actual depth since all they gave was the 7" diameter and what's the minimal hanging limit (for our tight spaces) still waiting on response maybe you can tell me bf them.
- The third baby is Amphetamine Auto which is supposedly very short and compact so hopefully it really is so it doesn't get too too tight& why do you think Flowering will be tough?
Herbal thanks a lot for taking your time to stop by and check my journal and dropping micro knowledge :key: much appreciated and look forward to your next visit! :smokebuds:
no problem bro! just hoping that i can help out a fellow grower. no sense of keeping all the knowledge to myself.
1) - Experienced some high temps in the upper 80's due to spring weather, hight temps outside. I have an 80mm inside the box and then another 80mm attached/stacked to double the power and I have more 80's laying around you think if I drill another exhaust 80 mm outtake next to it would suffice???

you have 2 80mm fans stacked on top of eachother? -- im not sure if that ideal or not (havent done that myself -- so im not sure if thats effective at all or not)
as far as adding another 80mm to make it cooler -- it could work but that would depend on how much CFM the fan has.
if youre adding a 80mm with a 30+ cfm that would be useless as it wont be exchanging the air fast enough
(i went through so many fan set ups myself -- check out my 1st grow for the heat problems etc)
i would add a 120mm in there (higher cfm the better atleast 110 -- add a speed controller for the noise) [unholy was the one that pointed me to the 120mm direction]
to give you an idea of my fan set ups. (exhaust)
- started with 1 80mm 30+ cfm = was hot as hell! about 10-15 above room temp
- added 2 more 80mm fans 40+ cfm (3 80mm fans in total) = still hovering around 10-12 above temp
- added a 120mm 110 cfm fan (replaced the exhaust with 120mm + 2 80mm) = 3-5 above room temp
2) - Just moved them up they're about 4 inches now. And your correct there's 3- 23w 6700k and 1- 13w 2700k.

i know you got your answers already but ill answer again just incase.
they are about 3" deep height wise -- heat vents through the top
veg @ 8-12" ok (as close as 6")
flower @ 1" no bleach problem
this is what ive gathered through exchange PMs with the led users
3) - The third baby is Amphetamine Auto which is supposedly very short and compact so hopefully it really is so it doesn't get too too tight& why do you think Flowering will be tough?
flowering will be hard due to the cfl penetration and light distribution. (lst scrog or however you get the canopy leveled)
ideally youd want atleast 100w per plant (being micro we can get away with as little as 50w per plant)
but not only that -- 3 plants will be a very tight fit. also keep in mind that the plant will 2x-3x in size during flower
