If you don’t have a growlog please answer these questions.
What strain are you growing? Is it Auto, Fem or Reg?
Are you growing Indoor or outdoor?
Are you using nutrients? Which ones? How much?
I can’t get the temperature in my grow room down, and the humidity barely drops below 75%. It’s in my bedroom, where I’ve noticed it’s between 28°C at night and 32°C during the day.
I have a 100W lamp in a 60x60x140 grow room. A 100mm extractor fan (145m3/h - 187m3h)
A 100mm intractor fan (107m3/h)
A Cornwall oscillating fan
And a mini fan placed just above the LED.
I have an air conditioner in my bedroom that manages to lower the room temperature to 24°C and the humidity as well, but I can only turn it on between 8 pm and 7 am. The extractor fan was placed outside the grow room, so I moved it inside, but still the same problem. It’s hot in the city where I live, between 27 and 30°C, and there’s about 80% humidity.
Can you help me with a configuration adapted to the climate in my country, which has daytime and nighttime temperatures between 28 and 32°C?
Thank you in advance.

Hello and welcome to the community i hope you enjoy your time with us. As for your question i also deal with high temps in my grow room and a few factors come into play before worrying to much like strain of plant, most sativa leaning strains normally handle high heat fairly well, amount of co2 in the room can also help plants thrive in high temps, air flow is a big factor as well and root zone temp ( could be hot above the soil but cooler down by the root zones).
Are you growing and auto or photo plant? If photo could always leave the tent door open during lights on to release the hot air as well humidity and close up during lights off and maybe turn lights off when able to run ac and cool room down. If running autos could just leave tent door open 24/7 if able as light schedule not an issue. I run an exhale co2 bag in my room and pretty sure every different strain i grew did well and the bags are fairly cheap and the extra co2 will allow you to run your lights a little closer which can be beneficial to yield just got to be cautious not to overdo it.
Your humidity issue all i can really truly suggest is a decent dehumidifier and i say this because ive tried many different tricks from rocksalt to little $20 amazon dehumidifiers and just didnt help any so i bought a fairly decent one and all good ever since. But as long as you have good airflow and plants are cleaned up to allow airflow between there branches you should be okay.
Each grow is a learning experience and youll always look at ways to improve grow environment or plant growth. I hope this helps somewhat and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Happy growing and enjoy

Hello, welcome to the grow community, I feel that you may need to attempt using a CO2 bag to help with the excess heat but truly nothing will help besides getting that AC running during the hot day. Maybe with solar panels or something else, I know that’s a bit outthere but the only way to battle the heat is with the AC. I uNderstqndnit might not be exactly the Gil u wanted to hear but you just have to treat it like a green house. And you need to get the exhaust hose running outside through a vent slot or a hole in the wall for the vent detect to fit to perfectly, the extraction fan itself should be inside or on the top of your tent to draw it out and have it leave the room and preferably go outside.
