I am growing in my half basement, L12'xW12'xH6'. I have no other source of heat down there then my light 1000w hps with air cooled hood. I wanted to run a sealed system for cooling my light and use it to heat my living area up stairs. I have a 200cmf fan hooked to a humidistat which exhaust the room, and a passive 4" intake. My concern is now that it is getting much colder outside (nights are in the 20's now thats when I run my light.) is the passive intake going to make the room to cold. I really want to take advantage of the higher C02 levels in the air now that it is winter. I also want to mention I am not taking air from outside to cool the light,I have a cold air return vent hooked to the intake side and after it exits the hood it is vented in to my living room.I figure I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone,get the most bang for my buck,if the light can serve 2 purposes. Oh yea , I only use a 4x4 area for growing,its not enclosed its just a wood frame enclosed in Mylar. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
