The deets…
This is a 6x10x7ft tall insulated (used to be cold storage room) room. it’s in my basement and I can keep basement temps any temp I want (I keep it at 68 to 71f for the propagation area).
I have a 6" ac infinity exhaust (short 2 ft run), and have a 4" ac infinity being used as an intake for troubleshooting purposes.
I have a tower fan, 16" and two 8" blizzards.
The RH here is about 38%, and i use a humidifier to bump it to 45 or 50%.
I have a 650 watt and 550w bar light (and keep drivers outside the room.
The daytime temps stay between 82 and 86f, so id like to get these temps down in this flowering room a few degrees to about 70-77f. I run my 6" out fan on 5 or 10 and the temp stays the same. if I open the door halfway, it drops to 77f, which id be happy with.
I don’t want to install AC for multiple reasons....mostly because its -20f outside, power...and everything I read, I should NOT be having heat issues.
I have a 6" ac infinity duct fan on order but I worry if the 4" ac infinity isn’t doing it the 6" won’t either? any ideas? I have an 8"x15" passive air intake that I used, but the room still went to 85f. Now I put the 4" intake fan in it, but that seems to make no difference.
The exhaust is on the top at NE side of the room, it dumps into the furnace room. The air intake is pulled from the west wall on the bottom. The intake air is coming from what used to be a freezer room without any heater ducts, but my grow tent (5x5) in there keep it’s at the ambient basement temp, which I keep around 68 or 70f. So its pulling in air from the freezer room.
What kind of cannabis grows well at 85f during the day and 68f at night during flower!? lol
Thanks in advance. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
