Tk,

I'm not in Bayou Lebatre, but real close.

I know this may sound funny...

but has anyone tried rigging up a reseviour inside an old fridge? It would be a hella lot cheaper(free).

I've got a top opening, old resturaunt cooler maybe 2.5x2.5x3 box, would probably be good for a small system.

What would the effect be of running a fridge sideways(so it was top opening)? Off the ground and well ventilated underneath of course.

just run duct from ac to closet that;ll cool it

An a/c duct in the closet would only cause the smell to go under the door into the remaining room.

Now installing a intake duct it would suck air from under the door up past your plants and would suck the smell clear out of the room.

So your heat and smell is gone seeing as there a filter up in a intake grid.

Just an idea i had when i saw sttb saying that about the a/c duct.

hey guys,

thanks for the suggestions about the a/c duct, but I can't put holes in the sheet rock in the closet . . . that is why I was considering either a swamp cooler or window ac unit

does anyone know much about window unit air conditioners, is there any reason why one wouldn't work in a closet (no window)

Texas Kid,

talked to the fiancee about the 6" in line or dayton to replace the computer fan, his question is about the noise. The closet is in our bedroom, and its a small house . . . we have to be kind of stealthy about the noise.

I have also thought about buying the glass for our sun system 1 reflector along with the air cooled fittings, so that we could just buy one more computer fan and just duct the heat out through a second exhuast fan. Do you think that a 4" computer fan could pull enough hot air off a 400w hps to change my temps by 10 degrees F if I bought the glass to seal the reflector and ran ducting to the fan?

Thanks!

A window a/c unit would work against itself not being in a window.
It would cool the air but the rear of it ( the part that should be outside) will put off more heat thats already in there.

Is it possible to crack the closet door a few times a day for like 20 minutes each time ?

I always leave my door open while in veg.

When i go into flower i throw a 16 inch fan in there and let it do its magic.
Stays under 75 in there during the hottest part of the day.

Right now, while regenerating the one plant, we have actually left the door to the closet open, but that didn't bring temps down enough . . . you see, when we open the door we basically lose the use of the two computer fans that are installed on the door to the closet because there is no vacuum effect.

with the door open the temp has improved, but with the household ac on 72 F the temp in the closet stays at about 80 F, and that is still a little hotter than I want it for when my BOG beans get here

I don't think I could afford my electric bill if I try and keep my house ac lower than 72 F, plus 72 F feels pretty cold - I'd turn blue if I turned it down any further.

Put the actual exhaust fans in the attic and pull from the top of the closet. Heat rises so you don't need that much to draw it up.

The exhaust directky off the light housing goes along way also to keep it cooler.

That would involve putting holes in the ceiling.

Hey Tex,

With a 265 cfm Dayton exhaust fan for my 3 x 3 x 8, do you think I could get by with a passive intake on the closet? That way I could move both 4" computer fans to the C13 we are building for a mother/veg chamber.
