    Default Mini Air-Conditioner for grow tent!

    Hello all..

    I have recently run into a problem with temp. in my grow tent, and another buddy of mine mentioned the possibility of getting a air-conditioner.

    My tent is about 6 foot tall about 3 feet wide about 2 foot depth, and the HPS is too hot for the babies so, I was thinking maybe something like this would help.

    Small Fan & Mini-Air Conditioner: The Original Handy Cooler in Blue. Portable and convenient. Runs on batteries or USB. Cools air up to 30F.

    I really don't have the money for a new intake out-take fans on the tent, but, I was hoping someone would have some experience with this one!

    I have a 1200w aircon in a 6 X 3 X 8 room and it is total overkill, even when it is 100F degrees outside.

    evaporative cooling works well in smaller areas so it might be good. for $30 bucks it is worth a shot. climate control is always my main focus when producing quality yields. However, dont expect great climate control on a such a simple device. expect 10-15% differences at best.
    I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for a decade. Don't tell me what is bad for me.

    i looked it up and it works by blowing air from a wet spong i dont think it will be worth it better of just freezing water and putting it infront of you intake fan

    Look at my journal I run a 1000w closet 4x2.5x6 roughly and adding an ac unit has worked wonders I now control the temp to where ever I want it so I'd deff do it plus it helps with humidity too

    I agree with you, my first reaction was (piece of junk) and I went to check out the reviews and all that, but, realistically I cannot afford to make my tent any louder... the apartments already are like freakin police around here! anyway, I read about a marine who uses one to cool his sardine like bed at night?? just figured it might be a shot!

    But I still need a way to bring them temps down. I think they it gets close to 100 degree's, plus I just cloned a bunch of cheese and I aint tryin to loose them, later on!

    well you can make "passive" intakes , plenty of info on how to do this on RIU, requires just a normal fan and some fresh air getting into the room your tent is in , Inline fans of quality do not make much noise , my exhaust fans are way louder than my intakes ... good luck anyhow..... Air coolers of a larger size are also available ....
