I have 3 tents in one bedroom. 1 veg with 600 watt lumatek with a MH bulb and 2 flower tents with 1000 watt lumateks with HPS bulbs. All three reflectors are exhausted with 1 6inch inline fan and it goes from reflector to reflector through the tents up to the veg tent which one end of the reflector is bare and has suction from it bc its at the end on the line. This is all exhausted into the attic and has a carbon filter on the end pushing air through it. The veg tent stays cool from the negative pressure and fresh air from the room that it is in because its at the end of the line, the flower tents never had this negative pressure since the exhaust from the fan goes right through the tents with ducting to the next reflector. so during the summer months i run a 14K btu dual hose air conditioner with ducting to each of the flower tents and this keeps my temps perfectly at 78 if i keep the ac on 76, even when its 90 outside in the summer but it also creates a positive pressure and i don't believe its changing the air in the tents as i would like. So now its getting colder here in new england and instead of cooling the two flower tents with this ac i wanted to use the cold air from outside for free to cool them. So i bought another 6 inch inline fan and a CAP day/night temperature control unit with hopes of drawing fresh air from outside into both of my flower tents. Now that i have it and i was setting it up i stopped and thought, now that i have 2 6inch inline fans and 1 inline duct booster should i reconfigure the whole thing so i have negative pressure in all 3 tents then try to just cool the whole room with the duct booster and the temp control unit? How would any of you professional or more veteran growers set this up?? Also 2 tents are on one side of the room and another one is on the other side of the room, so they are not and can not be all in line with each other i don't have the room for it.
i have 3 5x5 tents
2 6inch active air inline fans 400 cfm
1 6inch duct booster i think somewhere around 170 cfm under load
1 speed controller for a fan
1 day/night CAP temperature controller
1 carbon filter
2 magnum xxxl air-cooled hood
1 daystar air-cooled hood
plenty of ducting to do whatever
Please someone, anyone im open to all suggestions! how would you set this up ducting and cooling wise?
