heat matenance ??

[borris]

just wondering how i would maintain heat in my grow box i havent built it yet but i just trying to get to no what i need this is what i have so far .. hs2000 600w hps lamp, 6inch extraction fan, rhino carbon air filter,osilating fan and four plants in a 2x1.1x1.1M i plan on having a hole in the bottom for air in take with ducting venting out the top out the window so it will suck air from the room its contained in.

any tips or hints on any aspect of it will be very apreciated

many thanks

I use a thermostat to turn the fan on when it gets to 80 degrees. Using A/C Hoods. I use the lights to maintain temp.

well i think if you plug all that stuff in you will find that you have been worrying for no reason, your light will provide a lot more heat than you need, keeping it cool should be your concern, not hot! that is unless your doing a grow in an unheated garage or something over a very cold winter, in that case it may not keep up

i will be soon i just need to build my box god dam money issues atm got everything but thermostat, ph tester, and most importantly wood. im growing in a warm room which is black but obviously ill be coating the inside of my box with diamond plate myler i think it was called it says it eliminates all hot spots. i was thinking of old school sound proofing the box with egg holders would this eliminate the sound of the fan or would it just not make a difference as this would save me around £80 if it wont. many thanks
