Sounds like you haven't enough written build of materials; document everything and you can see if it is feasable. What other alternatives have you considered like atomizers/purifiers? How about growing Durban Poison which doesn't smell? I have 1 split unit AC going 24x7 and grow Thai basil and dill and other "cammo" plants because in a stealth only location. Best of luck and hope someone technical can helpHello Y'all, I'm hoping to get some advice regarding environmental control from some of you deep thinkers :o)
Room diagram attached.
Available space: 10x10, will likely go with a tent due to budget/time/wife/budget
Space Allocation: 4x4 flower, the rest of the 10x10 for veg/propagation/equipment (yes, this is opposite to most, but I focus more on veg and clones). This means I'll have a 4x4 flower tent inside the 10x10 veg tent.
Lights: a 1,000 watt HPS, a 1,000 watt MH, a 630 watt CMH, and a rack with LED and t5.
I'm using vapor pressure deficit figures as a guide rather than generic temp or humidity ranges...maybe that's wrong, but looking at VPD charts, I'm thinking 80-85 degrees and 60% humidity for flower @ 1500 PPM CO2 and for the veg room, I'm not that worried about CO2 so thinking more like 70-75 degrees and 70% humidity keeping CO2 around normal levels.
Problems: Budget and space. Not wanting 2 different CO2 setups, 2 different humidifiers/Air Conditioning units, heaters, etc...plus not having space if I did. Also, smell needs to be contained so I can't exhaust air into the basement space. Only out a window.
Although my flower space is small, I want to really dial in temp/humidity/CO2. Putting in A/C, humidifier, dehumidifier, etc. into the 4x4 space would take up all the room and most my equipment budget. Why hasn't anyone invented 1 device that ducts into or fits into a 4x4 tent that is a humidifier, dehumidifier, heater, & A/C all in one?
If possible, maybe a hybrid room that is semi-sealed, but exchanges air with adjacent spaces as needed. Maybe something like the flower space can exhaust air out through the window if humidity was low, passively pulling in more humid air from the veg space and have air pumped in through a pre-filter and fan from the basement space to lower humidity, passively pushing the higher humidity air into the veg space. Hot air would need to be sent out through the carbon filter exiting the house but that would mean the same exhaust would have to activate for low humidity or high temp which causes a problem as I can't find any kind of controller that allows that combination or a cord of some kind that would allow that either. Also, what about CO2 in the veg space? In this set up, it would only get CO2 rich air from the flower space when humidity was too high which is not likely in the winter (my last 12 plant grow in a 5x10 tent during winter couldn't get humidity above 40 and I dealt with PM issues (VPD too low...plants stressed).
Maybe there is equipment I can use to accomplish all this in such small spaces? Maybe I'm overthinking it...

Thanks. I currently have 20 different strains. Most are smaller mother plants, but the local market I cater to requires the dank stuff. In Michigan, most growers can legally grow 72 plants without permits or anything more than a handful of designated patients so super skunky strains win over incognito ones anytime. Smell is the least of my concerns. I mention it because I don't want any of the air venting into the basement or living space.Sounds like you haven't enough written build of materials; document everything and you can see if it is feasable.

There are such inventions to control cool temps and hummidity for wine cellar builds, but they are very expensive from what I've looked at. Are we just missing this in our search for solutions? People would really would be a whole lot happier if they weren't constantly micro managing the atmosphere. Grows would finish on time.Hello Y'all, I'm hoping to get some advice regarding environmental control from some of you deep thinkers :o)

With Leds you will prolly get away with a couple of small dehums....no heater no humidifier no ac...Why hasn't anyone invented 1 device that ducts into or fits into a 4x4 tent that is a humidifier, dehumidifier, heater, & A/C all in one?
