Hello all.. I'm about 3 days away from throwing the switch to 12/12. 1st time grow and I currently have 10 plant looking lovely under 2x 250 MH. (plus a 85w CFL. What can I say, I just couldn't pass up the lumens) It's a soil grow, Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and the water and nutes are PH'ed to 5.5....run off is between 6.5-7. Since it's my first grow I wanted to see how it goes before I go plunking down cash for sum Blueberry, or Bubblelicious...mmmmm So it's just bag seeds.. one batch I call Jackie and the other I call Killer Light Green.
So now that I have to seal off my door due to light leak I will need to address ventilation. Keep in mind I'm a total n00b and everything I've learned thus far is from the Rollitup community. So I go down to my local hydro shop and pick up a CAN combo.....CAN 66 (air scrubber) and a CAN 6 HO (420cfm's) the room is 6x6x8. I hooked everything up and decided to vent to the attic. Well this works really well temp are at 77 in the room and 80 at plant top. Bad thing is my AC is working overtime. I'm thinking of cutting a hole into another closet and exhausting into that closet. it's across the house from my grow room and the exhausted air would have to travel past the thermostat for the home's central AC unit before it would ever see the grow room again. I mean how hot could the exhausting air from 2 MH be.. I think I need the air movement more for ventilation of the room rather than heat exhaust... Does this seem like a better idea than just moving the air into the attic? Suggestions are welcomed.
