I am going to have a small grow closet with a 400 watt MH/HPS combo
Now it will get hot in there, but I have an idea
Cause its fall and early winter here in upstate, their air outside would be pretty cool, but I dont know about the CO2 content

But I was thinking, what if I ran 25 feet of air tubing through my room and down into the basement, and stick the end of the tube a little outside the window, and THEN, HAVE AN INTAKE BLOWER ,suck that air from the outside INTO the grow cabinet!!?!!?1!!!!!1111

Think that it would work? to maybe kewl down the lamp + add fresh and cool air into the growing cabinet to lower the temp of the hot 400 watter

400w doesn't make that much heat, draw air from in the house and vent through carbon filter back to the house, house gets the heat it would need anyway. If you had a large grow then that would cause humidity problems but you don't.

And you never run 25' of ducting whoa that's long.

kk thanks it was just an idea, and i was thinking of maybe 1/2 inch pipe instead of full aluminum ductin.
thanks for the input, didnt know if the light would get hot enough
I'm hoping that it would produce enough heat for the plants
