Comments: Good day.
I have a 5x5 gorilla tent with a 1000w mh. I have a 6" exhaust with a 6" in line fan. And I'm using ambient air flow for my 6"intake. The tent is in a 7' x 14' enclosed unheated shed. I live on the Oregon coast which is a cooler environment meaning the avg temp in the winter is in the mid to upper 45 to 50 with some frost. I have 4 girls from seed that are sitting under a cfl in my office. The seedlings are about 2 weeks old and healthy. I have them in 16oz solo cups with drainage holes. I have attempted to put the seedlings under my lamp 2 times and each time they wilt a little. I started with the lamp 30" from the seedlings and the started to wilt so I raised the lamp to 40" set them on a 18/6 timer and let them stay in the tent overnight. They were wilted again the next morning so I raised the lamp even higher and slowed my fan down. My fresh intake comes from the outside which has been in the mid 30's at night. I am wondering if I need to heat the area outside of the tent, in the shed and draw my intake from that warmer air. The temp in the tent has been around 70 when the lamp is on. I have been turning the fan off when the lamp turns off to keep from drawing in cold air.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Greg C
