Veg room too hot! Whats my best option?

[fasteddy0]

So in my veg room I have
(5) 8 light t5s and it is getting really hot.

I also have (8) 1000w magnetic ballasts & (2) 1000w digital ballasts

I am not opposed to switching all magnetics over to digital, but the room runs warm just with all the t5s running.

I need to figure out the best way to cool this down. I have a bunch of fans sitting around after I upgraded my flower room with a 4 ton excel ac.

(2) max 10s
(1) max 12
(1) can fan 8ho
(1) vortex 4

Options.

1. Exhaust room with a fan / carbon filter (more than likely a max 10)
2. Run 2 identical fans in opposite directions between the flower / veg room to spread the AC'd air through the the veg room. (more than likely would use max 10s as well.)

Of these two option 2 is more appealing because I don't actually have to exhaust out a window and everything is contained within the 2 spaces.

Any other ideas or feedback is greatly appreciated.

Got pics? Why you running so many lights? I hope this room is full of lovely ladies... Try not to pull air out as you need humidity.

i like option #2. why not use that big ole a/c to your advantage,plus it contains the smell.i used to have my veg and flower side by side like that and i just used a temp control on the incoming air in veg to keep it just right.nice thing is you have plenty of extra fans to work something out lol.

@sixstring I've also had similar problems and fixed it the same way you did awesome!!!

i ran my ballast outside the room, kept it a lil cooler, not sure if your already doin that

Is the flower room sealed, or could you exhaust that cooled air into the veg room?

Your grow room temp must be in the range 75-80 F with 50% humidity, more higher temp is a big waste. I would go with the second option.

AC? or exhaust for veg somewhere up high to really grab that hot air.
