I have a 6Lx4wx7h flower room and a 600hps air-cooled hood that has a 440cfm fan hooked to it The air to cool the hood comes from one room exhausting into another room. I have another 440 cfm with a six inch exhaust sucking air out of the flower room from up high. I have 2 6 inch exhaust/intake holes low to the floor sucking air in. I can't get the temp below 85 HELP

Are you cooling the 2nd room with hot air from a different room?

Yep..I'm slightly lost here a bit too.


I know a 6" will keep a 1k below 80...I'd use the 4" for scrubbing and the 6" on a closed loop just for the lights.

fresh air>hood in first room>hood in the second>exhaust outside second room.

So you have a 600 in flower and I'm assuming the first is veg? What's the light being used in there?

Sorry , what I have is 1 room that is 6w x 10L x 7h . I put up a wall and made another room , 6x4x7 . This room I'm trying to cool off . The other room has a 1200 btu window unit , I'm sucking cool air from the large . I'm using a 440 cfm can fan and it has a 6 inch exhaust to cool off the smaller room. The Light is a 600 air cooled hood ( hps).the light is sucking air from the larger room wit the a/c and is exhausting back into the larger room also

The problem is I can't cool off the smaller room ( 6x4x7 lwh )
I have another 440 cfm wit a 6 inch intake/exhaust sucking air from the larger room , I can get the larger room temp down to 65.f

There are 2(440 cfm fans).1 fans for the air-cooled hood and the other fan is only to cool the small room.

how close is the the fan exhaust to the intake for the smaller room? even if the larger room is 65, you may be sucking hot air from the light right back into the smaller room
