i thought i had finished setting up my tent,guess again!..i have a 4x4 grow tent. inside the tent lives 1000w ushio bulb wrapped by a magnum xxxl hood cooled with a 6in vortex fan.
i also have 2 more 6in vortex fans,one to bring fresh air in and the the other to extract temp/rH from the room backed by a carbon filter..
all 3 fans have a speed controller but that dint seem to help alot...
with the hood fan at 3/4 blast,the exhaust at the same speed and the intake at about 1/4 speed yield a temp of 84.5f,wich is great for what i want..c02! that leaves me with no co2 in the tent tho,dam co2 will be getting sucked off,not by the whore down st ether.
what should i do...i ready purchased a used sentinel chhc-1 and dont want to leave it sitting there. i have two options.
bring my ballast down to 600w(new bulbs) and drop the temp down enough to keep the exhaust fan off,but the would suck because you need more light with high temps and co2..
ooooor, pick up a used 8000btu portable ac unit and run that as my cool device and the exhaust fan as an anti rH unit.
im thinking ac unit! if i go this route,will the ac always be on,or only when it needs to cool the temp. it worries me for the unit im looking at uses 934w..scary isnt it,to have it running alongside the ballast time cycle
i want to start my grow this week but find my self lost..i mos def want to run the c02 along with the ac...my question above is what worries me..the 600w is my last stand,i dont feel it be worth to run with co2...
any one?
