First little grow

A Busy week. I had some heat issues this week. This has been the hottest driest May in recorded history here. Its a temperate climate, so its normally cool in May 12-16C The temps are getting into the 30's in the grow box which was somewhat worrying. Even with the lights off ... I needed to take some action. As mentioned my grow space is in a timber garden shed. The roof of the shed is timber sheeting with a simple tarpaper/mineral felt, so it is just radiating all that sunlight straight into the shed. Also my air intake is a cut-out in the cabinet side wall to the interior of the shed (with some filter floss to prevent bugs/pests getting to the plants). The extractor fan is outside the grow box leading to the carbon filter, which is on a shelf beside the top of the cabinet. So all the heat which has been pulled from the cabinet lingers in the shed, and is drawn back in warmer than the outside. To remedy the situation I installed some dense foam foil surfaced building insulation in the roof of the grow box. This helped a little but still not enough to bring the temp down to the mid 20's. So I also cut an additional air intake into the opposite side of the grow space. This opening leads to the outside, so the air it pulls in is cooler. I needed to custom make a filtered covering, but luckily had a spare pre-filter for the carbon filter(Long story) so I cut a square of this and made a bracket to screw it all into place from a bit of scrap pegboard which was lying about. Temp crisis solved - I must say though that the plants seemed to be happy, no wilting or curling of the leaves. A trip back to the Sensi Seeds website and the description says they like the heat. So no damage done. I also wanted to repot the girls, but discovered the missus had binned the old pots I had intended to use. No big problem, I pulled them from their pots and removed the bubble wrap which had been taking up half the volume and re potted them back into their pots using the 'Plagron' growmix soil I had waiting. I had some reservations. I had purchaces a sack of this last summer, and dumped it in a toolshed, and never got around to using. I hoped that it had not degraded or become infested with some pest or fungus from not being 'fresh'. Looks like a real dark mix of compost, fibrous plant material some pearlite. I found this a bit tricky, and one of the plants felt very 'wobbly' when I got it re-potted. I may have damaged the connection between the stem and the roots. Got both back under the lights, and seem to be doing well since.
