Ok so I have finally got my new grow area setup and running for a month .
Previously I had been growing in large rooms 17x9 and 7 x5 but moved and had to downgrade to tents but still a beginner only 2 years and 3.5 llbs in .
Veg tent 4x4
190cfm being vented into flower tent floor
400 w MH
Constant 25 degrees lights on
25%rh
Flower tent 56 watts pr sq ft .
4x8 tent
1800 total watts 400hps/1000hps/400hps
790 cfm exhaust
10 inch black ops filter
Oscillating fan
Floor micro fan
25% rh
This tent runs at its hottest at about 28 degrees!
The flower tent is exhausted through that cement wall into garage .
So the plants look ok for the flower tent dont appear to be stressed or anything.but I am.not super comfortable with 28 degrees .I dont expect it to get any warmer than that as the grow area is in my basement and constant house a/c .
But I am still thinking I should buy a portable a/c now some.are ductless some have 1 duct some.have 2 ducts ....
I am.guessing my best bet would be to either run a/c to veg tent and let it be sucked into flowe tent or get an a/c unit with a duct and spilt that duct into 2 and run one to each .
I know alot of people say just cool the room the tents are in which I can do room is about 25 x 20 .
I was really trying to avoid a/c as I was hoping to keep all of my.grow stuff under 2500 watts a month due to hydro costs but whatever... if I need it I need it.could also remove 1 400 watt light and re position my 1000w and other 400w but dont want to do that .was really looking forward to running all 3 lights another option would be to drop the 400mh in my veg tent and buy a led or quantum board as airflow comes from the veg tent running an led would prob do it as well but I like my hps and MH I started growing with led did not like it but might go back in a few grows actually spend some money on equinox panels (similar to hlg) .
Thanks in advance once again for any help or suggestion please feel free to comment on my setup as well that's why I am here .
