Want to introduce an exhuast, where would be the best placement of it ?? REP+

Looking to introduce an exhuast, just dont know where the best placement of it would be.

1. Above the lights where most heat is?

2. Between the lights and plants to create a nice breeze over the plants?

3. At plant height to draw the fresh & co2 enriched threw the plants?

Definitely above the light where the most heat is as long as the fan is strong enough

Option 1: Above the lights. I'm assuming you'd like to exhaust excess heat and doing it as high as possible is the way to go. My lights are in vented hoods, so I have duct work running from my carbon filter, to my lights, up to my can fan and from the can fan out a hole in the ceiling. This way, the hot air gets vented into the attic. This also helps with excess humidity.

Yea you most definitely want it ABOVE the lights. Heat rises, and you want your exhaust fan to be pulling that hot air out! And BTW, a fun is much MUCH more eficient PULLING air than it is pushing it if you know what I mean.

key word is HIGH

Lol i guess the overall consensus is above the lights DING!! DING!! DING!!!

Yea its going to be sucking the air out, my idea is to put a vortex fan on a chrcaol filter with a dialer so i can increase or decrease the exhaust and thereby lowering temps and humidity.... sound ok???

Heat rises, go nuts!

Should be fine. Where you venting the exhaust?

going to the crawl space

Should work perfectly then. Go for it!

YEA!!!!!! thanks

according to your drawings, you're going to be using, "co2 enriched fresh air." what does that mean? you're using co2? if you're going to use co2, seal the room and use vented hoods. using co2 and fresh air is kind of pointless imo...

Well i have a fresh air intake and i have co2 burner... however as summer aproaches a growing concern is increasing heat , so i plan on introducing a exhaust that would help lower those temps and humidity....

I understand what ur saying that ill be drawing the co2 out of the room through exhaust but whatever its not that big of a deal ill just have to refill the propane tank once or twice more then before... regarding the vented hoods, i dont belive in them and i like my lights hanging vertically.....

what do u mean by fresh air and co2 is pointless??? cuz even when using co2 u need fresh air to replace the stale air!!!
