Controlling the temp while still keeping the room sealed for the use of CO2,*what if I connect the AC that I have duct to the room to the lights, would that keep the lights cool enough for my babies??? Because that will solve everything, it will keep the temp down, while sealing the room for the CO2 to work during the day cycle, and I'll jus turn the inline fan on to scrub the room every 3-4 hours for 15 mins¿¿¿¿ So what do u guys and gales think about this idea????


I think condensation may be a big issue doing this.
DB you are absolutely correct, it will definitely cause condensation, which bring problems, like mold and a chance of water getting to the electricity cause a even more problems.... What if I jus hook up another inline fan, solely for cooling the lights, it will suck threw the lights and release in the room. That will seal the room so that the CO2 could work, all I have to do is scrub the room with the other inline fan that I'm currently using every 3-4 hours for 15 mins, so basically the room wil be seald for most of the light cycle until i have to scrub.... My concerns are: since I will be pulling the hot air threw the lights and dumping the hot air back in the room, the hot air that I'm sucking won't help the temp because it's getting released back in the room, or will it be the same results Im getting right now, which are great control of the temp, by sucking threw the lights and releasing outside the room????? ANY IDEAERS MIGHT SPARCK A SOULTION FOR ANYBODY FACEING THIS PROBLEM, COME ON, LADIES AND GENTS LET'S PUT OUR MINDS TOGETHER......

can u chill air then push it into the grow room? what temps do you have now?
I have AC duct to the grow room, temps are no problem because I have the lights air cooled, but because air is getting sucked threw the lights from the room and dumped outside, the room is not sealed and there for will not be able to maintain the co2, because air is constantly getting pulled from the room threw the lights and dumped outside, if I don't have my 2 lights air cooled then the temp will be extremely high..... My idea was to pull air threw the lights, and instead of dumping the hot air from the lights outside the room, I want to pull the air from the lights/room and release it back in the room (never going out the room there for the room will be sealed for proper co2 usage), that way the room remains sealed and then co2 could do it's magic, what I'm trying to get opinions on is, if I never dumb the hot air outside, will that defeat the purpose of cooling the lights and keeping the temps optimum or will it still cool the lights with no problems????.... I just don't want to cut 2 more holes in the wall just for cooling the lights (air in/threw the lights/and back out.. Never mixing with the air inside the grow area.... But if there is no solution I will just have to cut 2 more holes.....

pulling the air off the lights and back in the room will cool the lights but it will increase the ambient temp in the room which will gradually get hotter over time.during this time u can use the co2 as the plant uses co2 best at higher temps.then every 3-4 hrs cut the co2 and scrub the air in the room which will bring the temps down again.just my 2 pence tho!
