Heat detection in a small tent

[Mumnatureknows]

Hey people, I'm after some advice about the size of my light and tent.the light is 600w through a cool tube with ballast outside the tent. My tent is only 80x80x160.


The tent is going in an attic bedroom that has a velux window and insulation between the slate roof and the ceiling board. The tent will be vented straight into the room.

How easy is this going to be to spot by a chopper? If at all?

first, you have to make sure you're using really cold water, then throw some ice on top, then the buds, then more.... wait, what was the question?

concern yourself with maintaining the smell before maintaining the heat.
Though, since you are venting into the room itself, do you have any further plans to disperse the heat?

wrong section bud
this has nothing to do with hash

use hash as a blanket on the top of your tent to sheild IR, ER and whatever other Rs there is..

Your answer may be as simple as math bro.

Add up the R value of the individual heat insertion loss components. You can find those in any ASHRAE manual.

Divide one by that number (as in 1/R), and you have the composite K value.

If you multiply the composite K value by the Delta T temperature difference between the outside air and the inside air, you know how many BTU's per hour per square foot are escaping to heat surrounding air.

Relative humidity makes a big difference in how much the escaping heat heats up the surrounding outside air/water mixture, so to answer your question precisely, there is probably not enough information.

Having said that, if you ask the same question on one of the DYI growroom ICM forums where more of the HVAC engineering talent hangs out, you may be lucky enough to find the answer you seek. Us'n folks on this thread are mostly oriented toward cannabis concentrates.
