I live in Brazil and it's almost year-round summer.
Always had problems with temperature when growing in a closet and HPS with the internal closet temperature during the summer time hitting almost 45 degrees celsius or more!
So this time I'm trying to grow in a Fully Working Fridge to keep the temperature down.
I brew beer as well so this fridge has a temperature controller and it keeps on 20-23 degrees celsius.
Using a 500w equivalent LED Panel.
For the air flow and exchange, the idea is to use a Carbon Scubber to constantly filter the internal air, a CO2 tank and an air de-humidifier.
The carbon filter will also reduce the odor and the fridge door is well sealed.
I guess it's like a big sealed grow room with air conditioner, but smaller.

Timelapse video shows the vegetative state, with an automatic plant flowering (not super lemon haze)
SLH#1 is more Sativa like, thinner leaves, bigger internodal space, smaller buds and looks like its going to take a little longer to finish flowering.
SLH#2 is more Indica like, large leaves, more bushy, compact, bigger buds.
They've been vegged for 3 months from seed, then clones were taken, 2 clones selected to become mother-plants (kept outside the fridge, in another cabinet), and 4 clones were sent to flower.
They are in 7L containers, except for one plant (#2) that's in a 3L container.
Vegged for 2 weeks after the transplant and then set lights to 12/12
On flush regime, water only, no nutrients, only a soil cleaning solution.
Still has some clear trichomes, a few milky and no browns.
Guess it has to flower 1 or 2 weeks more.
Full history of the setup on week 1.
Finally! The great day has come. My setup "Fully Working Fridge Grow" works really nice! It has kept the temperature within the limits, as is almost year-round summer where I live and temperature control has always been an issue.
The chinese Super Chip LED Panel 500w (equivalent, consumes near 200w) worked really well, giving me big fat dense buds full of crystals. It was way better than I expected!
Got a total of 248g of fresh buds, might end up with 50-60g dried for curing.
Flowering time: 69 days
It was really nice to grow this strain on this Fridge setup. Had no issues with diseases, bugs or mold. Had better yield than I expected. Big fat dense buds full of crystals. Easy to trim, few leaves. Very strong smell (that I love!), hard hitting, very cerebral.00
@Resist, Pra mim um dos piores problemas sempre foi a temperatura. Me dava colheitas muito fracas. Principalmente no verão quando nao conseguia baixar a temperatura a menos de 40 graus! Tinha umas White Widow q sofreram pra dar alguma coisa, coitadas hahahha
Very cool set up! Hope all goes well with the rest of your grow my friend!! I might be doing some greenhouse super lemon haze as well soon! I’m gonna follow along to see how they turn out!!
Thanks, @Dadasgrow ! Next crop I'll be doing a better diary. Super Lemon Haze is one of my favorite strains. First time growing it. I'm really looking forward to taste it.
