am I going to NEED an AC

[deprave]

Hey guys, Setting up a new grow room and I am pretty sure I am going to need an AC but now that I think about it I might not actually need one.

Room Size - 21FT LONG x 6FT WIDE X 10FT Height

Room Is below ground level - Fully insulated - floor is cement slab

Light so far is 1000W HPS in center of room hanging

Air circulation will be very good - 4x vents - 2ftx2ft - 2 exhaust - 2 will be passive intake. 1 exit vent goes directly up and to an attic

This is a northern climate - Michigan - Summer highs avergage is about 85F outside - Winter low is about an averag of 0F - I do have a heater for winter so far but I havent got an airconditioner

What you guys thinK? Will I need an AC for sure....

1000 wont make it too hot in a room that large with ventilation.

Yea that is what I am hoping, Just want to mention I will also have 2 box fans and another fan just kinda circulating air around the room so I am hoping I can do without an AC cause it really doesnt get that hot here and the room is below ground level

where are your intakes getting their air from? outside or another room or ????

You shouldnt need one if ur ventalation comes from outside.
and keep fans on it.

One intake comes from outside and the other comes from a large "breezeway" room that serves as the main entrance, so it is air from outside essentially - the breezeway is about 10 times the size of the grow room. it is a 2x2 vent at ground level opposite of the exausht vents which are on the ceiling. The other intake is directly from outside - its a window - I plan to board off this window but I am going to run some ducting, It is one of those half windows so the plan was to put the AC in it if I can find one that fits a half window but I am considering actually trying to do without an AC.
