Hey all!
Planning out my first grow, indoors, in the basement.
This will be in my workbench area which is around 16’x6’, 8’ height to floorboards. There is a 4x4‘ “cut out” about 5 feet into the area (against inside wall of finished basement) which the 3x3 tent will fit. Right across to the other wall where the workbench is (foundation wall) there is an old school wood hinged window...I think 20” x 32”. Looks like something was vented there before, a piece of sheet metal with a 4” hole replaced one of the window panes.
My setup is 3x3 tent, 300w LED light bar (SF SE3000), 6” exhaust fan with carbon filter.
Northeast US
Temps... 60-70f
Humidity 50-60%
Humidity does drop around 30-40% in the winter, hovering around 35%
I am thinking I’ll need an AC unit and a dehumidifier. So that means exhaust fan and AC will need to be vented. If the tent doesn’t vent out too much condensation maybe I could vent that into another room or maybe vent it up higher and about 6ft from the tent, then have the AC unit vented through the window, and closer to the intake side of the tent?
Looking into options and hoping for some guidance and help here lol. I really want to have temp/humidity nailed down here. If there are better cooling and dehumidifying options that fit in a tent I’d be willing to sacrifice tent space too. Thanks!
