Stepping away from my 5x10

So I have recently decided to get rid of the tent. This being said I've decided to add a 600 watt hps ontop of my existing 2 1000 watt hps. Do you think I could cool all 3 hoods if I use 2 inlines, one on either side. I'm running 4 strains from greenpoint seeds. 6 of each. 6x punch bubble. 6x lemon tree punch. 6x purple crunch. 6x ice cream punch. Germinating in rockwool. Then into a 1 gallon pot for each cube. The gallon will consist of 50/50 coco coir and fox farms ocean forest. Once the plants grow out of that I will transplant them into a 5 gallon of ocean forest. I have a bag of natures living soils super soil organic concentrate. Its a small bag meant for like 5 5 gallon pots. I will be trying it on 24 not 5 so it will be very lite on the mix. I don't want to make my soil to hot. Below is a picture of my room before its finished. I still need to put up my 3rd light and my filter.

No way to fully know till you try, then adjust if needed

As long as incoming air is cooler than the room you should get decent cooling

2-1000w and adding just a 600w isn't a lot, so yer probably goooooooooood

Edit....


Based on your pic. I'd vent the end of your hoods out of the room directly. That will eliminate that HOT air staying in the room and will help cool a lot

I see holes in the floor, what are you doing with the hot air and where are you getting the cool air? Are you recirculating? What is the typical temperature of the intake air as well as the high and low? Is humidity ever a problem on the source of the intake air?

One tip, if you stretch the slinky duct tight it flows a LOT better than when it's not as smooth on the inside walls.

Good call and I have a problem with pipes freezing so I blow all my hot air to the crawl space to help heat the house it gets a little cold here. Temps in the room average about 70-75 humidity around 50
