Overheat in tent? Measuring Correctly?
Superjdstarted grow question 5 years ago
HID lights on seedlings day 2 (25 cm dist.) I was alarmed by temperatures rising since yesterday to 35 despite exhaust & small fan inside tent. Tent doesn’t feel overly hot. moving sensor to above light it reads at a good 26-27. What’s the best way to understand tent temperature?

The most important zone in your growroom or tent is your cannopy so this is the zone where all your sensors need to be
Be gentle with a hid on seedlings,25cm is a good distance with a 250w when your in flower,in veg I don’t go lower as 30 and with seedlings I start at 35-40cm and if they stretch I lower my lamp according to the level of stretch (every strain reacts a bit different)
Where’s your exhaust position?best place is as high as possible and the inlet low for a good airflow and removal of hot air
Good luck with your ladies ✌️

THANKS to both of you. Moved sensor to canopy and at 27.5 (glad overheating was a false issue). Also moved Light to 35cm for rest of seedling phase. I had read 25 and was worried about stretching which looks already a bit borderline on these gals after six days old. But it’s a first grow so overly checking everything !!

25cm seems very close to seedlings...
I am strugling with temperature on my 1st indoor grow, i had "good" results putting the fan on the floor, to make the cool air on the bottom circulate

Slowing a two speed inline fanCan I run a fan speed controller with a dual speed inline fan? My 4” two speed fan is slightly too powerful for my grow room. I’d like to slow the fan slightly but I have heard the these types of controllers don’t work with two speed fans? Any advice or what to buy to do the job?Setup. Ventilation

Speed of outgoing TD SilentDo you adjust the ventilator speed over time? I have a TD Silent with 5 possible speeds and keep the lowest speed at night (so I can sleep) and on 3 or 4 during day to be sure. Is there a trick to find the best yet lowest speed?Setup. Ventilation

Using humidistat to control fan, will this cause problems? So far fan running for 30 secs every two minutes! Plz advise if this is not a good idea??My exhaust fan is to powerful no speed control just two settings. On the lowest setting the fan is still sucking all the humidity that my humidifier creates out of the tent. So I have bought a humidity controller hooked it up with the humidifier and fan.. It’s working great!!Setup. Ventilation

Cooling whilst using humidifier outside a small grow tentI have a small 90x90x60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED. Heat levels are crazy and running a small humidifier with ice blocks inside the tent along side extraction isn’t cutting it. Could I buy a bigger humidifier, keep it outside the tent duct it in to keep it cool?Setup. Ventilation

Grow tent TemperatureI have a 90cmx90cmx60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED Grow Light inside.. How much will an extraction fan and carbon filter bring down the temp inside? In this heatwave my tent is running at 33 deg C, no plants seeded yet. Will the fan be enough or should I get a cooler?Setup. Ventilation

Do you think this is a better position for carbon filter so it can have better airflow or is it more important to scrub air from the top and have 2 90 degree bends?
I'll probably try this in my next grow.
Pic with drying plants is setup from before with 2 90 degree bends.
