Hello Fellow Growers & Smokers
Need Some Advice On Cooling The Area Around My GrowBox, In The Beginning Months of Summer It Gets Easily Over 100F Degrees And Stays Till The End Of September. I've Constructed A 4x4x6ft. Enclosed GrowBox For Garage Growing, This Is My Upcoming 1st Time To Grow EVER, And I'm Just Pre-planning My Grow While My Beans Arrive, hopefully soon :-|..... Anyways My Question Is If The Outside Around The GrowBox Is 80F Degrees Or Higher And Is Entering Into My GrowBox Via 3 1inch Intake Holes And Then Through Some 1inch. PVC Pipe Looped Around My Two Chambers (veg/bloom) Wouldn't The Air Inside My GrowBox Be Just As Hot As The Outside Air (inside my garage) Or Dangerously Close To What Could Start Bud Molding Or Disease:cry:......? Oh And I Got A Limited Budget To Work With....

Line your intakes with ice or cold water. You would need to get new ice everyday. Also, try running the lights and fans more at night when it would be cooler.

duct an ac vent to your growbox


you do realize that the air is colder near the bottom of the floor, which is why people put intakes around the bottom

Unless he is in the desert, the humidity at that temperature will be awful anyway. If he is in the desert, the added humidity would be good during vegetation. I didn't say to line the fan with it, I said the intakes, like set a bag of ice on the tubes or something like that.

The suggestion that a floor level intake is good too.

I think you'll find with the intake holes towards the bottom and a properly rated fan for exhaust (3-400 CFM) and a few oscillating fans in the room - your indoor temps will be 5-7 degrees cooler than the outside. and oh yeah - make sure you air-cool your lights with a different exhaust - otherwise all bets are off.

if that doesn't work out then you'll have to get a small A.C.
