SolarStorm 400 Supercloset cab HELP...
Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2013 7:14 am
Hey guys,
I been battling for days to control my temps in my cab.
I am at a loss of words and cant seem to figure out how to get my temps down.
Tuesday I installed the SolarStorm 400 then the next day I look at the temps and its nearly high of 94.
I then decided to add a second carbon filter with a 120CFM fan on the Supercloset and that didnt do anything temps rised to nearly 84 with in only 30 mins running with the doors closed...
So I then put my 6' 402 CFM fan in my attic and cut a hole in the ceiling to drop a 6' line down.
I then took the 120 CFM fan and unplugged it, and stuck it out on the back wall so I have something for the 6' to attach to...However with the 402 sucking air the blades on the 120 CFM was pushing air into the cab instead of sucking air.
I decided to place a 4inch to 6inch drop down to attach my 6' hose to and the 4' mouth sits on the inside of the cab to get fresh air....
With it being set up and no speed controller I thought my plants were being hurt by to much oxygen passing through the cab...So I placed a speed controller on & my temps went to 83 with room temp at 78...Now my temps at full speed of the 402 is 80-82 constant with a high of 87
I then noticed some heat stress on plants, I just put another 120CFM on top of the cab blowing air in but I dont think this is going to work as heat rises and my cool air should be coming from the bottom of the cab and allow it to rise up...
ANY ADVICE anyone can give me is deeply helpful. I dont want to admit to defeat but I don't think I can run the Solar Storm 400 in the cab, I have tried everything to keep temps at 80 or under but at this point my plants are taking a beating from high temps...Please help thank you
I'll attach photos of my issues and what I've done thus far and I'll let you guys help.
PH 5.3
