New Grower First grow starting this week - 1xNirvana Blue Mystic 1xNirvana Short Rider
- Thread starter spikerbiker
- Start date
I was looking around today watching the area and did see a few spots that get a bit of sun. So that is possible...Have to look a bit more tomorrow see how I could manage to keep it inconspicuous..not sure of that spelling...
What do you think about home made Co2 with my higher heat...it's 82 with doors propped open a few inches.

Honey Hugger ...
82 won't hurt you as long as there is fresh air ventilation ... the worst it will do is stunt them a little which might be a benefit on a first grow ... are there times of the day when the room temperature is less than others ... a lot of growers turn their lights off during the heat of the day ... is dry ice available where you're at ? Might want to explore that for heat control and it adds CO2 ... I have no idea if that's a good or bad idea ...
Been looking around and I think I'm going to try one of those ice cooler a/c do it yourself things. I have room for it in the top of my cab...I have a freezer in my grow room so easy to have ice handy and since I work from home I can change it out as frequently as necessary. Worth a shot?
I hear you Chester! I have been leaving the doors about 1/2 open and still high temps. My intake fan is in the back and basically blowing right out of the front doors.
So I just now raised the lights some, it dropped the temps quite a bit, down to low 80's. They are now about 12 inches above the plants (they were about 6 inches above the plants), although they are vertical, so light is not optimum..but cab is fully lined with real mylar. My plants are bushy not growing vertically much, so maybe the higher lights are better? internodal spacing - I think, is very short at this time..maybe 1/2 inch? Heck, maybe i don't even have nodes yet. LOL --real noob here.
Also realized my exhaust fan, although the blades are turning is really not pulling anything. It is a battery operated fan and I guess when batteries are not very fresh, it loses its umph. I will replace that fan when I get some cash on last day of the month, for now, I replaced the batteries. Which fan should be bigger? Intake or exhaust? Here are a couple of pics:
Day 16 for the 2 bigger Blue mystics, day 9 for the short rider.
