I just got a 1000watt MH with a switchable ballast.(don't have the money for a HPS bulb right now) I want to use it in my 4x4 grow area...(1000watt should be in a 8x8 I believe) so the problem I'm gonna have is heat. I set it up in my room last night(without ventilation) it was a little over 110 degrees. (70 degrees in my garage)
The question I have is even with ventilation am I going to be able to keep my heat down? Summers coming up, I grow in my garage which is not insulated.(gets up to 100 degrees at peak hours in my garage on average for summer) I know my lights will probably have to be on at night, just wondering if anyone has grown in a similar setup, and how did you deal with the heat?
