So I have an aerogarden running in a growlab 80 with a 4' inline fan exhausting out of the top, I'm running only the lights of the aerogarden but am planning to run a 150w hps after a few weeks....that said w/ only the aerogarden lights on I'm sitting @ 79-81 degrees. I'm wondering if I can just run some duct from the a/c vent into the bottom port in the tent. I've been lowering the a/c in the apartment to about 75 degrees trying to get the inside of the tent colder w/ the air vents open @ the bottom and the lowest I can get is about 79. :wall: Would the a/c idea work or should I just get another inline fan? I've also read about c02 being sucked out w/ a/c units attached is that something I should worry about w/ this? Any help would be appreciated!

That shit can do a gang of damage. Try two fans or switch your time schedule, so the hot time of the days your lights are off. or AC

nothing wrong with your temps being 79 bro.. also, you CAN run a duct from your AC vent to your grow, I've done that with great success..
