Thoughts on Venting/cooling

[dwarfganja]

Time to create a new area to work with!!

Here are the room dimensions 8x5x8. 1000w/Growzilla. 12 bucket dwc. No co2 but room is pretty damn sealed.

I am looking for thoughts on cooling/venting. Heat is def going to be an issue and I'm just looking for ideas.

What's located above and below it or the other three sides? I dump my exhaust to an unfinished basement. Others to their attic and even some into another room.

The ceiling...cement and 3 walls of drywall LOL!!

No, he means, what's on the other side of those walls? Do you have an attic space above or a crawlspace below? A spare room maybe?

Also, what do you have for windows to work with? AC?

If you have a window I would put a 12k btu AC in it and run an exhaust for the lights below it on an oval exhaust pipe to hide under the unit.

HAHA I was breaking messn'n'gommin' chops!
No window, but a I do have ample area on the outside of the room

My thought was run intake from outside room across hood into fan/filter combo. (suggestions on combo?)
I will have two separate intake locations as well.
Will I also need a blower to move air out?

I'm currently running my lights on a closed loop.

air from outside room>6" vortex>hoods>exhaust outside room...no filter,just a dust trap at the intake

I also run a stand-alone fan/scrubber strictly for aroma control

If you could swing two 6" fans in your setup, that would be ideal.

6" for the light, 6" for scrubbing

You can pick up 6" PHAT filters fairly cheap $100-140, I'd grab a valuline 6" fan as well.

Really it boils down to two choices, move plenty of air through the hood, or A/C

I haven't had to go the dedicated A/C route yet, but I do have an A/C vent(whole house) thats piped into my room for the real warm months.

Keeps us posted

Peace,
