Ice bottles to cool growroom?

[S. African grower]

Could I use 2l bottles of frozen water in front of a fan to cool the room temps a bit, my "lights off" is during the day and now the room is warmer when they sleep and cooler when lights on.. Will it work? Anyone try it?

unfortunately it didnt work for me when i tried it.

if you get a tray of shallow water and have a fan running over it, it will cool your room by 1-2degrees and raise your humidity by 1-2%

Im thinking of getting those cheap portable aircons. But they cool the air using moisture aswell.. Won't it clash with the dehumidifier?

Dumb question time, do you leave your exhaust on during lights off?

It doesn't matter, this fan I got does not create heat at all, it must have the coil inline with the current so it cools itself.. I've ran it for a week non stop and it's cool as cucumbers

Sounds like you need a decent air conditioner.

If you cheap out youll probably regret it .

I prefer to leave it on because it sucks air through here too

Nah, you misunderstood, I was asking if you're venting the room during lights out is all, not that the fan is heating the room. My bad though. So it's safe to say you're cooling the room during lights off? If that's the case a portable AC should be ok. And no, an AC doesn't cool with moisture, AC units help remove moisture from the air. I don't know much about the whether in SA, but when it's both cold and rainy here, we use the AC with Heat in our cars to help get rid of fog. Blowing the damp air through the condenser removes moisture. All AC works the same way, even the one in your fridge and freezer.

I might need one, just to get those few degrees lower

I'd also put a filter on that intake.

Yes fan still on during lights out,.. I know how normal aircons work.. But there's the cheap little "portable aircons" that say you must put water inside

Why there's no dirt in here?

Im still going to extend it to the top of the grow, and make a vice versa blowing at the bottom

Sounds like you are talking about an evaporative cooler.

They not looking too stressed anymore.. Are they?.. Remember they auto flowering except for the one in the big pink pot

Not the ones we have here. They have a drip pan because they can also act as a dehumidifier only. When running that way they aren't exhausting the moisture. Be sure to read your unit though

Yea maybe.. I just need to drop a few degrees now in summer, I don't want to go buy a nice aircons if I'm rarely going to use it

I had a malfunction today and broke one leaf and bud site clean off the plant on the most left.. Pfts lol

You'd be surprised at the amount of dust, lint, and other foreign particles that will get into your tent through an unfiltered intake. All that stuff sticks to the buds when they start getting sticky. It's an easy inexpensive fix.

I don't think yall understand the set-up. This ducting is a closed setup to the cool tube, that small pipe sucks air out the room, so whether or not it's filtered is irrelevant
