I recently added a 430w (special thanks to a really good bro ) and well, I have been having problems with my A.C. unit. If the air cnditioner is not running full blast the house gets too hot. My draw is from inside and i pull the heat out for now. I have another fan for brining air in- just cant afford the parts to hook it up. So im using one fan to suck out the heat, and one to circulate the air inside the closet. So when i put in the new light- i fried a plant or two, probly the neem oil, i put them in the bathtub and let them dry- but the temps have been 90-100 this week. So like my best nlkush plant is struggling and may not make it.I am pissed, but too late now.

My air conditioner has been working- but after a few hours, barely puts out any air volume- the air was still cold- but no pressure behind it.
So yesterday afternoon ( the day before i replaced my main breaker - which was a major problem as well) I got up on the roof and removed the outside cover to the A.C., there was another cover for the sealed area where the actual radiator was. The sonofabitch had 1" of dust in a matt on the radiator. I guess air could go through until the dust matt got wet ,and then it would slow down on pressure and not do jack S$#t.

so i had her catch the goop falling and i peeled the matt off, then i used my empty neem oil sprayer, filled it with plain water, and squirted the smaller particles off the radiator. I got that thing looking brand new in no time, proceeded to put it all back together, just as it was getting too dark to see.
I went inside and turned it on low cool, and froze our ass off. On low cool it now works better ,than high cool did before.

Im running 78 in there now, and about ready to turn on the A.C. today im gonna see if i can keep it under 80 in there. Wish me luck i'll let you know how it goes today....

Im gonna get me some predator mites- this neem oil is a pain inthe ass- I probly will not have any more problems with it, now that my heat is under control- but im leery of using it.
your right again mean- the neem is too hard to mess with ,better off sending in the troops. californicus it is.

I let them all completly dry before putting them back in there, but my concentration was too strong or the neem didn't mix right or something, fried my prettyest one it did. DAMITT JIM.

Well, I went ahead and pluggd in the 150w hps spot. So im running 580 watts all day long in there. The AC is on low still, and it's nice in here, about 69 degrees just like the house i grew up in. But im in a rat ass trailer in a scorched desert land, and it is supposed to get hotter tomorrow- we will see.

Today i reached a high of 83 degrees, and it's gonna stay that way when the ac is running. The new system is rolling smooth already. ALL the plants look much better now, and seem to be perking up and enjoying the ride for once.
Now we gonna get some action around here.Now that the details have been worked out, I gotta figure out where im gonna veg all these clones.L.O.L.
Seems i got this xtra 175watt halide now....MMwwaaahhaaa.

Well it got right on up to 84 degrees And thats as high as it went, I still got one fan on reserve for when it starts getting to be 110 out here. Actually I'll be wanting a controller before long- so i can discharge heat all day, and intake from the house with the controller- only when it needs to cool down a bit in there during the heat of a really hot day.

It sure is nice to have the right equipment.

I started out the year with a 20 watt shoplight. L.O.L.
