For everyone battling high temps. Whats your best cooling unit? I struggles with high temps when running my light 50% and more. (27+degrees/80+fahren) Atm. im keeping the room my tent is located in cool - But it can only do so much. I dont have much room left in my tent either.

@ScottW I actually got the inkbird controller for humidity myself and actually have the temperature controller and datalogger on the way in the mail! :) I'm running a Co2 bag, so im trying to conseal the enviroment as much as possible. -And when i plug exhaust fan to inkbird, it exchanges too much air. my solution for now, instead i've plugged up cooling fan to blow unhumid and cool air in. I am growing with LED from Lumatek Been keeping the room cool (20degrees) it helps a bit, but it is a bit cold for me ;)

Hello,I use the AC Infinity fan that automatically sucks in ambient (cooler) room air when the temperature or humidity exceed my parameters. If you don’t want to invest in a fan, you can always use an ink bird temperature controller to turn your exhaust fan on when the temps exceed a preset value. But the AC Infinity was a big step up in environmental control for me. For me, I have my tent set to pull in fresh air if the temperature exceeds 83 degrees or if humidity exceeds 62%. I also run a dehumidifier in my tent room since I exhaust into the same room. I assume you are LEDs? I cut a lot of heat by switching from HID lighting to LED.

How many flaps/vents are open? Can you possibly keep the door open to help? you could run a hose from an ac into the bottom of your tent as well

@Anonymous2022 That is only with my lights on 50% And are AC Infinity exhaust fans with RH% and Temp control really that effective?

Hi 27-30 I would say is quite normal most peoples goes up and down abit weather permitting, Just try not to let it start going higher up in the 30s especially in flower, I use a AC infinity exhaust fan they are really good, also try to get you intake fan (if you using one) to a cold area so u can pull cold air in. Best of luck 🌱
