Hello everyone,
first time grower and trying to get this closet operational so i can get going with the grow. I have a HD stand up closet measuring on the inside about aprox 18in x 30 x 72 aprox 20 cubic feet on the inside...I have 4 x sets of dual T8 and a single 100 watt HPS, I have 1x 80CFM intake fan and 1x 80 cfm exit exhaust fan, the intake comes in from the bottom left and the exit is on top left..Thermometer is in the back wall center, i also made a home scrubber that is not shown in the picture. I guess my first question is i ran the T8 today and noticed after 25 minutes that the temperature was getting around 85 degrees...im sure it would have gotten a litte hotter if i left it on, and with the HPS for sure even hotter...My question is ware is the thermometer supposed to go in order to get an accurate reading and make sure your getting a good reliable reading, and second, do you think i need 250CFM intake and exhaust fan's...my only problem with that is in a few weeks its going to start getting cold and i have a feeling if i do that im going to have to heat the garage because im going to really cool down the box to much because its cold out, so i might be back to square one...any help on this would be great..thanks
