Hey all,
So I've got this room. It's about 17 x 7 x 7. I have proper intake and outake. I never have heat issues in the Winter but with the Summer months it's becoming a problem.
Right now I have my 1k MH on one side and 4x50watt T5 on the other side. Vegging of course. My temps are in the 80s. It's a delicate balance keeping it below 85 right now and I'm a bit worried becuase I plan to plug in 2x 1k HPS in a week or so.
A portable AC unit isn't going to work for me because I don't have anywhere to vent it. I am researching Swamp Coolers and it seems they would be a huge benefit during veg as they add humidity as well as cool. Bear in mind I am in Colorado. Humidity in my room ranges from 10% - 35% right now.
My concern is using this during flower. As they develop and start to hold more water the humidity will obviously go up.
Looking for opinions on this. Anybody in CO using a swamp cooler during flower? What results?
Thanks!
