New Grower Dutch Passion - Colour mix 7 (2 AX 2 TD 2 SR) & HighRise Stuff's

Just a little update.
I planted all of my seeds. If I have luck I will have 2 AX, 4 TD, 1 SR, and 2-3 plant maybe fem from the HighRise freebies.
I make some fan's for cooling the bulb and lead the hot air to the vent out.

Crazy summer. Right now is around 42C (107F) in my country, no rain since 1-1.5 mounth....
I try to manage the heat, but its not so eazy. Its good to build my new box in a basement. When outside around 40C , in the house around 26C in the box, when the lights off around 22C, but when the lights run is run up to 28-30C. Thats why I scared to switch the 250W MH to 400W dual spectrum HPS. If I switch it the temp eazyly go to 33C I think. The humidity is around 90% when lights off, 60% when the light run. The weather forecast say from tomorrow its fall back to 32C. I think I change it tomorrow. Here is some new pics:
Any advice will be welcome!

Lots of luck botHop digityyou are running a clean setup. Happy and Safe growing:smokebuds: :pop:
 
Thanks Master!

I hope everything will works well. Might not be visible but, it was a lot of work in it. It was an old basement, what nobody use in the last 30 years.... (it was my grandfathers basement is the little garden hous)
I complety clean it (8-10cm sand in the ground, around 600kg tile, many steel and waste). It has only a small old ladder, it was prity nice job to clen up it alone.
I'm not a mason, but I concreted it in the bottom around 5-6 cm. I plastering the walls with watertight plaster, and build the box after 1 week drying. So it was not eazy, but I find the happy in this sh*tty job in this unbearable heat.
I just blame myself to grow in soil. I think hydro is like "nuclear physics", but goddam, it isnt. :D
Yesterday I read many from DWC, and find many discrebe, how to make DWC in the cheap way... So I'm prity sure I will grow in DWC in my next run.
So this is the story, thanks for the kind words! :group:
 
I switch to 400W dual HPS, and put inside a little table fan. As I see right now is around 30C, but I keep around 60-65cm far the lamp from the plants. I dont want to burn them.

Heyy Guys I need your help. I hope dont do stupid thing. I make a little "table" and put 0.4 mm tempered glass between the plants and the lamp to hold the heat.
The glass will not hold light up? Maybe its a stupid question, but I dont know the answer.
The another ting. My digital termometer show me 32.1C, my old "manual" termometer 29C.
Which one should I believe?
Thx!

Anyone? Sry for the hurry, but I dont want to mess up this stuff...
 
Hi Botlowsky :)

I have two different digial thermometers that read differently - i think the best thing you can do is trust neither of them & take the average or "middle ground" between them.

Just my :2cents:

If i had a digital and old style thermometer, i'd probably trust the digital though.
