I know of a room and have a couple of issues that will be present which I am not sure on how to adress to make the process go as best as possible. I have attached two pictures to show what I have going on. The first picture is the layout of the room which is a walk in closet which will be sealed off. (will be sealed off around where you see the green line). Picture #2 shows the wall I am constructing. It will have two intake fans which will be 250cfm inline fans, the lower one will be the main intake which will have no ducting. The one above it will be the intake for the light I have. The light is a 1000watt sun coast hood with 8" ducts on it for cooling (am going to be using 6" ducting which I have put on couplers to make the ducting fit). The reason why I bought the hood with 8" ducts is because it supplied a larger surface of light (8ft x 8ft). The light will be a 'Eye Hortilux Blue' which has a 600 / 400 watt (cant remember which order but one is HPS and the other is MH, which the light is specified as a MH light.) This will be used for the whole cycle. The ballast will be outside of the room to aid in keeping cool. Will have a carbon filter for the exhaust to use during flowering. Also have a couple of home made Co2 generators (yeast and sugar) to put in the room. The exhaust will have a 250cfm fan (pusher) that will be attached after the light and at the end on the exit wall, will have a 500cfm puller fan. Have two 8" fans which one is a circulating fan (will be on the ground to help push the hot air up) / (does not move) and the other is a 8" oscillating fan which I am thinking of wall mounting.
This is a first grow and currently the room is at 87 degrees (well insulated room) with the light on at 35 percent humidity. The humidity is low and the heat is pretty high (having a high heat wave). With the room sealed off I am not sure how it will help (as far as the temperature / humidity goes) with the intake and exhaust in their also. How should I time the inline fans to keep the room cool (trying to stay around 75 degrees). (see picture 3 for rough picture of room set-up). Also I am thinking of putting in an air conditioner in the room to keep the temperature at the correct level and also a heater for the colder months. I was thinking of buying a portable air conditioner for in the room but not sure on the correct way as they also build heat, was thinking of directing the exhaust (if one comes with one???) to the exhaust of the room. The room is 100" by 48". And yes I have been reading around this site for some time but do not see any pages on timing the intake / exhaust. I was also going to run the oscillating fan in the room directly on the plants to aid in fresh air and also to strenghthen the stock.
Please help with the timing / and input on a portable air conditioner to put inside the room or possibly on the outside near the inake of the room. Will rep for your time!!! Hopefully the pictures are not too confusing (I am not very good with drawing pictures on my computer). Also hoping to have the room finished by sunday. THANKS in advance for the help. Not sure how to time the intake / exhaust to be beneficial for keeping the temperature in check and also keep the smell inline during the flowering process.
I was going to use some mylar in the room but was afraid of the hot spots. Thought of diamond film but am debating on it due to the hood being good for an 8ft x 8ft room, seems like it would be a waste of money?? The room is 48" x 100" x 96" tall.
