Only 4x a day? What's your high temp before you vent? Always wondered how high someone could let temps get before doing serious damage. I get worried at anything over 80, but with CO2 I figured it still couldn't go over 88 or so.

Oops. :oops:
2x315-cmh. 1x260w-VeroCob.
I dont run the cobs at full power. About 220w. 700-1200ppm Co2.

May I ask what size your grow room is with the 2 315's and vero cob?

I didn't even notice until now that I typed 40, sorry I meant to write 50w per square foot.
With 3 315's I still wouldn't be at 40-50w per square foot, close, but not quite. And that is if I only consider the space I'll be using within my 6.5x6.5 tent, about 5x5. Does anyone know how hot it would become with 4 315's in a 6.5x6.5? I have a 850-900cfm fan extracting air through a large carbon filter at the top of my tent. Passive intake. I just bought a 10,000 btu window AC unit as well. Is this adequate to keep 4 315's cooled off enough?...

It's 4x8x8. Only 4x4 used for grow.
Using a 6k window shaker.

No experience with AC sizing. But I would hope your 10k is sufficient.

AC keeps the room at temp.
Dehuey keeps humidity in check.
The bad news.....they run 24/7.

If you're able to keep temps in check with a 6k ac unit then I would imagine that I'd be ok running 4 315's with my 10k ac unit, 900cfm running 24/7, and plenty of oscilating fans on the inside. I apologize for all of the novice type questions, I'm just trying to decide exactly how much light I can get in this little tent of mine without running high temps! I've only ever owned HPS's. Your grow looks very impressive though, Eastwood. I am hoping that I can achieve a canopy of colas like you have.

Its an investment running indoor setups. Huge investment of time.
I'm retired after 35yrs of IT. Lucky to have the time and money to grow for fun. I sell none.

Gentle airflow. I've burned my shit up by having too much air cirulation.

Its nice being able to add and/or mix lighting.

At mid flower I start running a fan/carbon filter to scrub inside the room.

My little LEC grow show.

2x 315 SS LEC
4x4' tent
3.5 gal hempy buckets, perlite bottom 2" CoCo Loco up to the top
Dyna-Gro nutes (ProTeKt/Bloom/Mag-Pro) nutes according to their feed plan. I started these with CRF (Osomocote) in the buckets, but they ate through it pretty quick and had to start supplementing with Bloom)
30 days veg from seed, photos are 7 weeks after the 12/12 flip
Clockwise from front left
1ea Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch
1ea Sensi Seeds Afghan #1
1ea Blueberry
1ea Barney's Farm Triple Cheese

Topped them all several times, and ended up with a fairly even canopy. Pleased with everything so far, and has been one of my easiest grows.

6.5x6.5= 42.5 sq ft
42.5 x 35watts per sq ft= 1487.5 watts

6x6=36 sq ft
36x 35 watts per sq ft =1260

These lights work great at 35 watts per sq ft and I’d say that’s about the max I’d try to cover with one. That being said if you can cool it add more as I’ve seen people running 5 or more per 4x8.

Cooling 3.41 btu x 1260watts =4297 btu
That 10k btu ac should work great and cover any additional heat from pumps,fans, dehuey.

3x3 shots needed another trellis last run tried to hold em up with yo-yos but some still fell over. Didn’t cause any problems tho.

Younger plants are same tent reloaded. The others are right before chop. The pictures are loaded backwards as the young ones went in a day after old ones came down.

Strain is banrneys farm critical kush from clone in both pictures.

Im now think about to make a CMH400W in E39 base to let you guys run with HPS ballast(high frequency), sounds good?
