I really want to start growing the highlanders and need some advice on how to set things up. I have a nice sized terrarium ready for them so I was thinking how can I cool it to drop the temperature at night ?
Here is my situation I live in Canada so during the day I plan to close the door to the room and open the window this should keep it from getting too warm with the grow lights. In the summer I have air-conditioning so that will have the same effect. The problem is how will I get the temperature to drop at night? The room they are in is also my bedroom so the window cant be used at night.
I found the following on ebay
"Brand new mini cooler or warmer, 26.5 19.9 x 27.5 cm. Ideal Christmas gift.
Keeps drinks, food, medicines cool or keep things warm while you travel or on the desktop at work. Cools to 5o C or keeps warms to 65o C.
Unit comes with two power cables: one for car cigarette lighter and one for a 110V outlet."
Do you think if I got one of these mini fridges and cut a hole in it , then put one of my cooling fans in the fridge pointing at the hole and ran a tube into the terrarium from it , that I could keep it cool enough at night?
Any other methods/ suggestions would be great appreciated.
