My room dimensions are very difficult to detail, but I have around 400 cubic feet of grow space with two 600W lamps. I have a 8" CAN Fan w/ .38 Special Can 50 Filter and adjustable fan speed dial about half speed 400CFM's.
I got my auto-evaporative Portable 'dual hose' AC Unit hooked up, and temps were great 75 & holding for the first 24 hours; then I noticed the AC Unit started leaking water at the bottom at an alarming rate (filling a small bathroom trash can within 24 hours), and my temps started going up & up to 80-90 degrees. My AC Did not stop running and my humidity held at around 50-65%.
Would a de-humidifier help ? I'm thinking about buying two 50-60 pints b/c I know there is tons of humidity in the room. I've been looking on retail store shelves home inmprovement stores for the past 2 nights and they are sold out of DEHUMIDIFIERS everywhere due to the amount of rain we have been having lately. I found one on cregslist, and am meeting a man today.
I'm thinking I have too much airflow and from that excess airflow, there is too much evaporation from my hydroponic growing chambers by my 600W lights.
How much CFM air flow should there be in two 6" magnum xxxl cooled reflectors with 600W lamps?
