my ec pen is driving me crazy

If you don't feel like typing, that's fine. haha, how is anybody gonna know what they're lookin at. All I can see for sure is you have a intake fan on the floor blowing air in, but from where, and vent on top, whats that powered by, where is air going, is ac machine itself warm/hot then maybe put ac out the room and duct air inside... I dunno.

Oh high sorry my 2500m3 box fan sucks air from the room and takes it out into the hallway

Oh sorry. I have 2500m3 boxfan sucking air from the room then bowing out into the hallway . My 8000btu ac kicks out hot air through the duct into another room sealed and vented. The intake fan brings in outside air directly through the wall but it is only around 300cfm

 

[Dylanfurlong]

I tried to duct the air in and leave ac outside but did not make a difference . The ac i set to 16oc that's as low as it goes. It feels really cold the air coming out of it

I would not vent ANYTHING back into any part of the house is first thing.

And maybe what you want to do, just a thought, is have the ac in another room venting the hot AC back port straight outside. then have your intake fan sucking from this room to the grow, then exhaust fan has to pump the air to the outside. this is in my opnion how it should be. That's the best I can do maybe somebody else will chime in. But one thing is absoultely 100% sure, you do not want to vent anything back into any part of the house/apt.

Thank u

venting the heat and humidity back into the home can also mold up the whole place.

The ac goes into a sealed room with the windows open . And the extraction fan just blows down the hallway through to upstairs and out the windows . Maybe this is my problem because with all lights off it goes all the way down to outside temps everytime. So whatever it is outside it's same in my room . Roughly

if you have a room with 3000 watts potential, why are you not running it sealed with CO2??

 

[Johnei]

The concept of what you're doing, just do it all with ducting sealed into it's extraction and intake ports, if you understand what I'm sayin.

I don't know how to keep it cool even with the door open and all the equipment in their . I would love to but I only have two lights on and it keeps hitting 28oc me and my sister are newbies with one grw under our belt lol

I do have ducting on all equipment ? My intake fan isn't even a quarter of my outtake but I have an ac?

you could run at 30C with CO2 supplementation. then you don't need intake and exhaust fans. just would need the window AC.

I think I might just have to buy co2 bottle but I'm worried about sealing the room when unsealed with only half lights on it is hitting28oc

My ac is a portable 8000btu

i think if you sealed it and just the AC do it's thing, you'd be fine. i didn't look but waht size is the room again?

one thing you could try is to put a fan at the end of the exhaust hose for the AC. see if a bit of extra help exhausting the hot air might help it run a bit better too.

I put one on the front where the cool air comes out but I am going to try your advice now . Another thing is the bottom half of the room is reading warmer than the top a bit I do have an oscillating fan too a strong one

if the fan trick doesn't help, try putting the AC up on a ladder, chair, etc so it gets closer to the ceiling. since cooler air falls, it might help too.

I put a small fan on the outake end of the ac it seems to be coming out a lot hotter and faster but the fan is heating up and my temps are not changing .do u know what this turning mechanism is on the ac? There is two

Bottom one is to drain water out, top one I don't know.

Ballasts produce a lot of heat. Best is to mount them outside the grow space with this kind of heat issues.

Some reflector designs, the bulb will heat up the reflector so much it radiates heat into the room.
