  1. Thanks so much for the feedback guys you have no idea how much it's helped me. I don't want to go through all this effort and end up with shit weed, so I've decided to head over to Makro/Game early in the new year and hunt for a proper solution. Ultimately I need something that's able to cool an entire room but not decrease the RH too much. I've accepted that when setting up a grow there are some items you just can't compromise on and environment management is definitely one of them. Once again thanks for all the advice guys, will figure out how to upload pictures better so I can get a decent grow diary going
  2. My tent is 1m x 1m and the room is roughly 3.5m x 3.5m or slightly bigger and it has the same problem as yours it retains heat like crazy. I can get a good breeze through the room but it doesn't help much with the heat. Think I'll get something like this Link to drop the temperatures during lights on and use for myself when the lights aren't running. That's what I'm waiting for with the RH (plants to transpire more), I was thinking about picking up a humidifier but decided against it for now. I've got a little spray bottle that makes some decent mist. I spray it on the sides of the tent to increase the RH and that works well for 1-2hrs depending on the heat. Will definitely have too look into a solution for the extractor fan, right now I'm damned if I don't turn it on the heat gets crazy high (35 - 37) and that has already lead to the death of 2 seedlings
  3. Hi everyone! I'm a first time grower and just wanted to reach out to the forum to say thank you for all the knowledge that has been shared and get some guidance. Now that I'm up and running I'm really struggling to keep my ladies cool and at the right humidity levels. I'm based in Joburg and growing in my apartment so it can get really hot (especially when my lights are running) and really dry. Considering how much time and effort goes into a growing a good crop I really want to make sure I'm growing in the most ideal environment as possible and affordable. The troops sprouted from the soil about 10 days ago and the temps in my tent can easily reach 32 degrees with humidity sitting in the high 40's to low 50s. I run my lights at night to try keep it as cool as possible in there but I know something's going to have to be done to decrease the heat asap before they get bigger. Any advice on nutes would be great, I'm growing in FF Premium Classic (green bag), since it's my first grow I'm not really too bothered on synthetic vs organic nutrients I've included a basic outline of my set up below and some pictures, any advice would really appreciated! Thanks again guys! Happy growing IMG_3701.JPEG IMG_3702.JPEG IMG_3721.JPEG IMG_3723.JPEG IMG_3724.JPEG IMG_3725.JPEG
