Need great advice about cooling my room.

[antanella]

I have a 15 x 10 sealed room i am running 11 600 watts lights in my room. My current temperature in my room is 88 degrees. This is currently my flower room. Also this room is in the basement i have good ventilation in and out but for some reason my room tempeture is high. I am sick of spending money on things and not using them i was thinking of buying a portable ac unit with 14000 btu or someone adviced me to buy this device from ramsond called a twin splitter which looks like an electrical device that sets up outside the house mounted in the inside of the room but it cost 800. Can someone please give me some good advice what i should do. Experience growers only.

a/c or cool tubes are the only viable solutions
also,your room is not sealed if it has in/out vents...just sayin

I CHECKED OUT THE COOL TUBES THOSE WONT WORK FOR MY ROOM IT DOESNT GIVE OUT ENOUGH LIGHTING FOR WHAT IM DOING. ALSO YOU SAID AC UNIT DO YOU THINK A 14000 BTU PORTABLE AC UNIT WILL GET MY TEMPERATURE IN THE 70s

 

[moash]

Im sure it will
BUT,if ur only running at 88 then cool tubes should get u where u need to be,,,,,and cheaper
cool tubes are closed in reflectors that have ducts hooked up to them to transfer light heat away

I doctored my cool tubes, removed the inner reflector and fitted barn roof 2 reflectors to the exterior (total 1m wide now), light spread in now fantastic.

Ill try the cool tubes on my next run sounds like a good idea but know im stuck with these lights until i crop. I think i am going with an ac unit for know. I was wondering will a portable ac unit work if i have no windows in my room

or air cooled hoods are even better than the round cooltubes! you can get some big shades aswell, ive got one thats 2 x 2 foot, and can handle 1000 watt bulbs.

You will have to run the exhaust somewhere else
Isn't there a drain in the floor somewhere???
Also,how do u have in/out vents with nowhere to exhaust?

 

[antanella]

Thats what i use air cooled hoods.

 

[antanella]

I have a 10 inch fan blowing in the room and my heat for my lights blowing outside of the room i have a huge basement so the hot air blows out in the basement. I have a window in the room but my carbon filter is used for it. Yes i do have a drain. Can I put the ac unit in the room and make a hole and exhaust outside the room or am i going to need fresh air from outside to make the ac unit colder.

 

[moash]

You can use ur drain as an exhaust for the a/c

 

[MrMeanGreen]

You must vent the a/c or it will add to you heat problem, I had to have one for the summer as just coudn't keep the heat down. If you have air cooled hoods already, just pull fresh air direct to them from outside, you can then vent up to your house and use to heat house (air will be clean).

Also, if you go for a/c unit, ya gonna nee more than 14000 BTU's, something around the 21000 for a grow that size.

You say you have a window. Board it over from the inside, you can then cut holes and use multipe inlets if that makes sense.
