hey guys been been away for a while just tryna get things going. im currently moving into a facility and have a room thats 20'x14' , im splitting the room into a flower room thats gonna run the 20' x7' with an "L" shape in mind which gives me room for an extra light at the end of the room. and the additional space after i build the wall will be my veg area..
Flower room:
so my plan is to run air cooled hoods, heres what ive got so far. im thinking of running a 6 inch filter at the end of the hoods with a fan about 450 cfm and this should be sufficient to cool the hoods constantly. then im gonna have one of the same style fans pumping air into the room. which is gonna be pulling cool air from my lung room..
do you think i should have a temp controller on that fan to stop the cool air from comng in once up to temp? or just have the outtake being the one dictating when to exhaust the room. which in turn freshens the air, and cools the room if tomuch heat is building up! i feel that im gonna need about 15,000 btus of cooling, since im running 5 lights, and that gives off about 19,000 if i cant put the ballasts in a remote area. which im hoping todo, but we will have to see if thats possible, if i can then i should be ok with the 15,000..
anyway if i do decide to have the outtake being the one with the control of the temp, should i just allow it to only vent when the room reaches temps too high, or would it be better to find out how long it takes for the room to get hot and just have it vents out every __:__ amount of minutes, for said amount of minutes until its cool again. or is this just unnecessary stress on my fans? would it just be better to have a temp controller on it, ive always used that in the past im just thinking i dont want to have hot spots in the room and it not turn on in time. just the size of the room im worried about.
ill be posting pics soon just to give you an idea of what im working with. thanks for your help in advance!
happy farmin:)
