Well, I constructed a "room" so to speak; out of 2x4's and as of right now... it doesnt have any walls. My dilemma, I cannot get my plants any closer than 18". I'm pretty sure the light would be too intense however I need to work on my ventilation. I need a cheap fan that willl pull air through about 10 to 15 feet of ducting. What I plan to do is take some cool air from my adjacent living room, and blow it in to my grow environment between the canopy and the bulb. Theres kind of like a hotspot right there, and im sure every hps grower knows what im talking about. Id like to know if anyone has a good idea of the cheapest fan that will handle this. My temps dont get above above 82, but thats at the bottom of the canopy. Mind you its not very dense... So its prolly not as drastic of a difference as one may think.
Any suggestions? I am still deciding what material I am going to make the walls out of. I'm thinking about cardboard painted matte white, however a couple emergency blankets sounds like the method I will go with. A staple gun and 10$ worth of mylar should do the trick. The point of my posting is for opinions, and maybe a little help finding a decent fan to move that air, and what material should I make my wals out of?
I am also looking into making a hood... What I have now is a reflector and the light mounted to the frame. I'd like to make the lights adjustable. Right now I am adjusting my plants height rather than the light. If I could make a hood that I could actually adjust, maybe vent in the future; that'd be ideal.
