Would love to see a schematic or photos of that set-up. Gotta love how well swamp coolers work when it's dry enough.Hi there I run a hoophouse with an evaporative cooler. It is a 24x26 12 high farmtek with a 3'x15' aquacool evaporative cooler. It runs pretty well here in the Sierra foothills when the temps are in the high 90s and 100s. The buds are definitely more dense and light colored than outdoor. The temps are below outside temps most of the day although it gets hot around midday. I think I put it together for less than 4k.
You have to be careful if you get monsoons or at night make sure you turn it off or use a humidistat i like to turn mine off around 5 or 6 pm and let the pads dry out. I think a big pusher fan in front of it would help. My friend uses a portable model that has a 36" fan pushing and he only has like 1 24" exhaust.
I would say misters are a no-no. They could work in veg but I think that is asking for mold/mildew.

Assuming you have a good bit of level land, yes? I'm Sierra foothills, too, but in the 209 (like that's telling you much), almost directly east of Sact'o.
