Thank you Jack I've read this whole thread(more than once lol) and it has been a world of info for myself.So you're running your duct the same except you've added the ice boxes(4 total) between every two lights correct?(there's four on each side right?)I will take some pics..The Chiller has a built in pump you can adjust the flow from 1 gallon per minute to 90 gpm you can bring the temps down to 32 degrees. There are two ways to run this set up the first is a open loop the air comes out the end of the lights the air is kept in the room and acts like an ac unit you can get the temps real low like 58 deg blowing out..Or a closed loop re cerculating the air through the lights and out to the attic thats what I am doing. I am doing it this way with a a split AC unit..The fan and the ice box in the picture is located in my mother room this is also where I keep my ballast temps are at 67 deg...
Have you measured your temps on your exhaust since adding this?(I'm guessing you can feel a difference in your garage now correct?)
Is this the only cooling unit in your mother room?Or does your split unit help cool it?One last question did that one 50#bottle of CO2 do that whole last grow?
Sorry for so many questions,But I just love your setup and I hope to steal alot of your Ideas...lol

Hey take a look at these on craigslist. A shit load of 1000w hid ballasts. Thinking of getting a couple for my flowering room. You think this will work?

No problem I will do my best to answer first I have not measured temps coming but the Hydro shop has the same set up blowing like 59 deg out the lights. My mother room and ballast room have a small window unit, the main room is completly sealed no in or out vents.IF you where running 2 to 3 1000 watters in a tent the ice boxes would cool your tent no need for an AC unit .. If your running 8,000 watts both make temps in you control..As far as CO2 I would go through a 35 lb bottle every week that's with my PPP at 1500 the entire grow..

Love that cooling setup.
I have a couple of ?'s maybe you could help me with.
I have a portable a\c and dehumidifier combo. 12,000 btu.
I use it strictly as a dehumidifier. So it say's that the intake and exhaust duct's for the unit only need to be used when using as an a\c.OK
But when I run it as a dehumidifier it pump's out mass heat from where the exhaust hose would be.
So my ? is do all dehumifier's put out alot of heat.
And if I duct the intake and exhaust outside the room am I going to be dehumidifying the outside of the room. Or does it work the same as in a\c mode were the intake and exhaust are just to cool the machine. And the dehumidyfied air goes in through the filter on the back and out the vent's.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

think you might be s.o.l. there... far as i know almost all de-humidifiers create heat as a 'by-product'. i found this very frustrating in my grow... also very frustrating to me was that almost all portable a.c. units pull a riduculous amount of air through the room and exhaust it outside in the process of trying to cool the room. so a sealed room wouldn't work with most portable a.c. units... and you might as well just be exchanging air at a fast enough rate that you are keeping the room cool with a fan instead of paying for a.c. !! (they do have some 'dual line' portable a.c. units, i hear, that don't replace the air in the room in the process of cooling it.)

Yes you want to hook the a/c exhaust up. Most dual hose units have "self evaporative" setups that heat the dehumidified water to vapor and exhaust it out of the room through the exhaust. This is a nice feature so you dont have to empty the tank as much or not at all if your room isnt overly humid. And if your room is CO2 enritched you want to hook up the intake line as well and it wont suck your CO2 out or the smell if odor is a problem where you are. Hope this helps and here's a link to one that works well for a fairly cheap price, if anyone is looking.

Im not sure what you just said this is one small room 9' x 14'
Portable Ac units suck ....And so do window ac units I have used both nothing will beat a split ac unit you can get a 24,000 btu unit for $900.00 or an 15,000 btu for $800.00 run power and two copper lines and your done.. No in or out vents and you won't even know its on if your standing next to it ..
The out side condenser is very small ..Thanks ..
