grow room is @ 89º can I add extra inline fan???

[woody333333]

Have you ever actually grown any weed? I think you will find that temp as high as 87 degrees will not be a problem in the real world. Consider outdoor weed that grows in places like theMiddle East or South America where it is hot as fuck.
No doubt someone with a grow book will pipe in and say the temp must b no more than 78 degrees, but since your budget is tight I can assure you that you can grow in your setup As Is.

that's asking for problems tho....

I have grown b4 but not like this. where do I place temp gauge to get accurate reading of inside temp or does it not matter I have sat inside and to me it feels comfortable in there. Ok so at temps now it will be fine but will it possibly lower a little if I seperated fans 1 fan for lights 1fan for filter.

canopy level..........

 

[woody333333]

need to ditch your homemade ac and put one fan on the lights and one on the filter.......

 

[corbin5754]

Right on ill try that. Just wondering why ditch the ac will it cause the passive intake to not work properly

 

[corbin5754]

Also sorry what is canopy level

 

[woody333333]

the moisture in the air holds heat...... and your humidity will prolly be 2 high w it....... canopy level is the top of the plants.....

 

[corbin5754]

Right on for the help ill switch the fans tonight and see how it goes

 

[corbin5754]

Should I bring air intake for lights at bottom like in pic

 

[woody333333]

probably bring it from the side ....... you want as few bends in the ducting as possible.... sure don't want to give up any floor space.....

 

[corbin5754]

Then it will be visable if I do that plus light will be seen for everybody to see. I just thought cool air from garage floor would be nice and cool.

 

[woody333333]

so does your garage have ac?..... the best your gonna do is a couple degrees warmer than your intake temp...... are you hiding this from your mom?

 

[corbin5754]

I will have a window ac in my garage in a few weeks. No im not hiding it from my mom lol.

I would do pic #2 except switch the inline and duct fans around. Maybe get another duct fan since you have two lights. then leave on the duct fans for the duration of the light cycle and run carbon for 15 mintues every hour or so. this is the best electric saving option and grows plants the best you just have to shell out for fans

i mean the recent pic, i was on the wrong page

 

[fridayfishfry]

you could also get another inline to work in conjunction with the carbon inline but have a hepa on it and have it pulling air into the room instead of the passive so there are no odor leaks. make it a 4" if you decide to do it, no need for a 6" intake.

 

[fridayfishfry]

i just did this but with 1 cool tube

 

[Slifmon]

Im in process of putting my grow room toghter 6x6x2.5 with 2-400w hps cool tubes with a 6" inline fan 400cfm pushing exhaust out with 2-12"x5" holes on bottom forcing fresh air in. Connected everything together and to see how hot it gets inside and its been a steady 89º but its only spring time here and im afraid by summer temps will get in 90s .

Can I add a second fan to exhaust to help push hot air out?? See pic attachedView attachment 3138520

Bro u gotta get a portable ac u gonna get bugs and not the nice kind invest that money

 

[corbin5754]
