Is a big room or a small room easier to climate control?

So I am currently set up in a room that's 10x12 with 2 600w HPS air cooled An 8" intake fan drawing from a small room cooled by an AC unit I have two air pumps running 3 airstones each. I was basically planning on sealing the room off with thick plastic and putting up reflective mylar I would be Cutting the room too 10x6 would this make it easier or harder to control I.E would my temps and humidity go up? Or would it make it easier to control and dial in. Right now my floor is just the slab I plan on ceiling the whole room ceiling to floor. Sorry for the long question *cheer* and thanks !

For sure it should be easier to change things in a smaller room. Dialing it in would take smaller adjustments to get right.

At least that's how I see it just like soil, cooking, and aquariums smaller is easier to change and easier to mess up.

In this case you would just have to watch any changes a little closer.

OK that's kinda how I was seeing it just needed a little reinforcement of my thoughts. Small cooler with same amount of soda and ice would be easier to keep cold then a larger cooler. PlusI plan on eventually Incorporating Co2.*cheers* and thanks again to everyone. :)

My little 5 x 5 garden is in a 500 sq ft wide open room, no tent, no walls and I have no problems at all controlling whatever

I wound bring my room down from 12x10 to 12x7 using 6mm plastic and reflective mylar on the inside. I have 2x600w HPS over 9 girls week 5 flowering. It seems to be cooling more efficiently now with the AC in the room the dehumidifier removed and all ballasts and air pumps (mounted on the wall)outside of the grow area temps dropped 8 degrees and rh stays around 45-51. I think a big issue was all the heat from electronics. Thanks for all the tips and *Cheers*
