Ok my partner and i are setting up a room and we are having a disagreement about how all of our equipment should be set up....THC Farmers, pls chime in on the way you would set all this crap up, thx for ur time farmers.
OK equipment listed as follows:
2-600w HPS(with 1 or 2 more added at flowering onset)
2-8" Aircooled Hoods
1-8" Vortex
1-8" Carbon Filter
1-13,500 Btu AC with dual 4" hoses(one is intake, one is exhaust)
1-4'x8' Ebb and Flow Table w 70gal Botanicare Res
Plus lots of lil odds and ends(PBPnutes,Tri-Meter,Hygrometer,PH Down,Air/water pumps+Airstones,6"Cubes,60-1L containers w mesh bottoms,4Bags of Hydroton)
Ok the room measures about 13' x 10' w 8' ceilings, and we currently have the lights/hoods up above the 4x8 table w/ 8" ducting that runs to a piece of plywood mounted in the window.....We installed this piece of plywood in the window w/ 2-4" holes(for A/C) and 1-8" hole(for the air cooled lights/hoods). The A/C was installed in front of the window with the 2-4" hoses running to the 2-4" holes in the plywood.
The problem were having is this:
I, want to close the system off(so the 8"Vortex would handle ONLY cooling of the lights), then let the A/C regulate the temps inside and supply CO2 if necessary.......
My homie, wants to take the easy way out and mount the carbon filter in front of the air cooled hoods, and vent the entire grow space, and cool the lights with ONLY the one 8" Vortex.
Wont the cool air from the A/C be directly vented out of the grow space?
Would the 8" Vortex provide enough cfm to vent the space properly and cool the lights, even with a huge carbon filter attached?
Thx everyone, any answers would be greatly appreciated!!!! i need to get this shit goin already, and im just trying to figure out the best way to do this.
