The setup:
I have a 8 x 4 x 6 custom built grow box. Originally i was running two 1,000k hps in a sealed manner (drawing air from outside just to cool the lights). Well, last night my dumb ass decided to y section the exhaust of the a/c and the 6' fan running the lights and push the air from the two out the same hole. Big mistake!!! My royal soverign A/C has hurt it's compressure or fan from the backpressure and now the damn thing is LOUD AS HELL. gonna see if i can call sears to fix it, but till then i must do something.
The girls are 1 week in hydroton now. a 3x6 tray. still in veg
My question:
Should i just use the exhaust fan for the 1k's to build negative pressure in the box as it handles 650 qfpm of air, or should i go buy another fan on top. Im worried about it getting to hot in their as the box resides in the garage. The a/c handled this perfectly, but i have no clue what to do now. I really didn't want to use just outside air on this grow, but i suppose it maybe the best way to go.
Note, i have a small wall style A/c unit that would work, but that would require me to cut a hole in the side of the box and i don't really want to do that. Also, im afraid the exhaust would just heat up the garage more.
Thanks ahead of time.
