Air and ventilation
If you have problems with heat in the grow room, you may need to install additional ventilation and aeration. The problem is common if you use a HPS lamp on more than 250 watts and if the room is closed all day.
There are many opportunities to create better ventilation, and with a little imagination you can easily create a solution that is not too expensive.
Since hot air rises, the simplest solution would be to mount the fan to bleed from the ceiling or the top of the grow room. To get air in just put a fan at the bottom. The most important thing is to make good bleed. The warm air taken out is replaced with the run more air. To get more air in you can use a small fan or just make a hole in the road
To have a room that gets very hot, it may be necessary to install some pipes so that it can be cold air which is Legere away, preferably outdoors if possible. To avoid too much smell, it is wise to use a fan with charcoal filter to bleed.
If you do not have so large heat problems, there may be enough to buy a simple fan and mount it in the top of the room or closet. You can use cheap ventilators designed for kitchens, bathrooms or the like.
Example of a simple ventilator for about $ 20
There are many models and sizes to choose from. Which you should choose depends on how big the room grow and how fast warm till the room gets. It tends to be on the package how much air the fan can suck out a minute.
It is customary to recommend a fan that can replace all the air in the grow room within 2-3 minutes. Some manage with less. You may want to set up a count distance to find out how big the fan you need for your room.
Cool Tube HPS lamp with separate ballast.
Several retailers sell so called "Cool-Tube" lamps have a glass tube around the bulb that transfers heat away. This leads to run more in the growing room, while you can put plants closer to the lamp. Ballast Stone to the lamp also produces a lot of heat. If you buy a separate ballast can be placed in another room.
