cooling 4000 watt of hps

So i want to get 4 1000 hps and their 6" air cooled hoods. Im going to get a 8" inline fan to cool the 4 lights but i want to know will it be ok to get an 8" to 6" ducting reducer http://www.growannex.com/environmental-control/ducting-and-accessories/reducer-8in-to-6in be ok because il be using 6" ducting? And another thing im thinking of just using a good 6" carbon filter and 6" inline fan for smell...Also Their going to be separate..Thanks

Anyonneeee?

better have a good fan.

I think u might need an a/c. But I don't know the size of the room.

I think a damn 8 inline fan would do? The 6" ducting isnt gonna fuck the suction up that much ya think?

Prolly gonna be a 10x10 room frog could be a few ft bigger...And i dont mind getting some kind of a/c unit going on in the room and at night of course i wouldnt really need it on..

Your going to need a/c if its not winter where you are right now , u can either get a regular a/c to fit in ur window or a portable unit with the heat exhaust

Other then that its ok to suck out the air of does 6'' hoods with an 8'' turbo ....

the fan and reducers should work fine but you will need ac, no doubt.

Yeah I will most likely get an A/C Unit in their

If you get an AC, which you'll need, make sure to get a DUAL hose portable ac, unless you go with a mini-split. If you get a single hose model, it will exhaust the air from the room to the outside, which is obviously bad. The dual ones don't exchange the air, so the room can be a sealed environemtn with co2.

I have a whytner 14,000 btu model. It cools the room, 8x14, with 3 1000's, that are air cooled. I have to run the AC all year except for december-march. The gear in the room heats it without the need of additional heat, even with the lights air cooled. I have a heater in my smaller 4x8 room that is attached with a sealed door though.

You will need an electrican to bring in a dedicated 30amp line for your lights, you will need a dedicated 15 amp line for the AC, and at least one more 15 or 20 amp line for the other things, like the fans and pumps or whatever.

These electrical upgrades are not a luxery, they are a requirement for this type of equipment. Get a 240 box that runs on the 30amp line to plug the lights in.

portables are absutely the worst type of ac you can get, be it single or dual hose. dont wast your money, they are terribly inefficient.

I have done quite a bit of research into this as I am building a 10x10 room with 4 1000w lights. Your beat bet to go is to get 8" hoods for better circulation, run your 8" fan to cool the lights, seal the room, install a mini split and c02 and you'll be top notch!

A 6" circle only has 28.2 sq. in. An 8" has 50.2 Sq. in. cutting your area almost in half. I split off my 8" into 2x6" and it works great for cooling 4x1000 watts.

Yeah man My hoods are going to be 6" And like i said my fan will be 8" But where did you get your 8" to 6" Splitter like that..

hydro store. I have seen them at Home Depot and Lowes too.

Cool...What size you got their looks like u got a good setup

Alright guys Will this lighting controller work? http://www.titancontrols.net/products/lighting/helios-2.aspx..Basicly i think i just mount it on the wall plug it in an ordanary outlet sense its got a 120v for the controller and then i can plug my 4-1,000 watt hps lights in?? But c how is that when 1000 watts do 240V

If you want to run 240 you'll need the Titan Helios 3,4 or 5. The Helios 2 is for 120. And you'll need a 240 circuit to run it.
