Ahh found you, good luck with it m8. :)

 

I grow in a space 3.6ft x 1.7ft or their abouts, using a 600hps and just a 5inch extraction fan and passive inlet and seem to do ok with temps, it may or may not help you decide a bit more on led or hps, Well tbh i just switched back to hps for flowering and led for vegging, cus difference in bud size is massive compared, the led i used was about a 550watt power draw from wall.

 

Here`s my last grow it was first time i switched over to hps from led and i only didf it last 3 or 4 weeks and difference in bud size compared to previous led grows was massive. Dont get me wrong the led grew nice tastey bud and a fair size too i suppose but its just not hps size you see.

My god those are some beautiful plant's, gotta love the choice in music too  :P

 

My intake is also passive and my temps seem to sit about 82f sometimes getting to around 86 but doesn't seem a problem at all, I'm impressed that you manage to keep a 600 cool though without a cooltube! whats cfm the extraction fans rated?

I`ve not gotta clue on what the rvk fan is rated at m8 But tbh don`t get me wrong during the hot spell we had a month or back well temps did reach 30 - 32c the odd day but thats squat diddly and nothing for the plants to worry over, it`s the cooler temps that are a bigger worry during winter and dark periods, that can cause alot more problems that a bit of extra heat. But yers atr times like today or any day thats not meg hot outdoors then temps are generally cock on mate or their abouts. :)

Yeah I can't be bothered messing about with pot sizes, after their first 3 ish weeks of life straight into the 20l they go.

And thank you, muck chucking be the only way to go!
