Hello again community! I'm still trying to figure out how to cool my mid-sized tent. I've been looking at a lot of ratios and calculations for cfm, looked at air cooled hoods, water cooled hoods, and finally landed on possibly investing in a quality but economical and easy to install stand alone cooler. Anyone with information on this subject would really help a lot.
No HVAC specialist wanted around my grow, don't want to pay an arm and a leg to purchase or to run it and (of course) I want it to cool my tent from 96'F to the optimum 76'F daylight running temp.
I have a 6" can fan and filter and a 230 cfm booster fan. The light albeit is probably my problem its a 150w HPS enclosed ballast with no cooling ports. I know, I know you probably are saying "a 150w!? WTF?" But I plan on upgrading that soon but in the mean time and for the coming spring/summer I think I can make due with that and focus on heat. I'm only going to attempt to flower 1 plant under it, so don't hate unless you have something useful to contribute. Thanks in advance. Greggos
