10'x5' tent..2400 watts. 2 plants..how cool properly?

[uraceulose]

Going to make the switch to a tent from a closet. Currently using a 5 foot by 2 foot standard closet.
Have 3 small circulation fans

Running bare vertical hanging bulbs NOT sealed hoods.

One 6 inch 440 cfm inline connected to a carbon filter then exhausted up and into the attic.

Running Co2 @ 1000 ppm when lights are on.

Want to maintain 45-65% RH and 70-85 degrees 24/7/365.

Tent will be inside a central AC house in an empty bedroom.

My plan at this point is to buy about a 10,000-14,000 BTU portable AC unit. Then use the another 4 or 6 inch inline fan for exhaust. I will keep the current 6 inch for odor reduction and circulation inside the tent.

Would it work well to use the portable AC for main cooling when the lights are ON so it stays sealed...then try to keep the AC from running (to save electricity), kill the Co2 and switch to exhausting the hot air out of tent constantly lights OFF to keep it cool?

Just brainstorming in the quest for 'dialage'

For the first tent grow I plan to use 1200 watts (2 600's) then move up to 2400 the next cycle.

With NO AC in the closet currently I've been able to keep it between 70-88 degrees. This is running a single 600 watt bulb in a metal reflector w/o the glass and no ventilation through the hood.

Thanks for any advice

10x5x7 is 50 square feet or 350 cubic feet btw. So 50 watts x 50 square feet = 2500 watts (2400 is close enough)..

350 cubic feet to the 440 cfm fan running on full blast through a carbon filter should do well to exhaust the tent within a minute or so.

Will a 200 cfm or so inline fan work good for circulation and odor reduction mounted to a 6 inch carbon filter? I don't know if another 6 inch 440 cfm inline will be too much for just circulating and reducing odor inside of the tent...

I'm running a 5x10 room now that i built (not a tent) and did vert last round, but doing overhead this run cause a have a couple of big trees going. I may be switching back next run as i really like the outcome.

if running Co2, you should definitely keep a sealed room instead of exhausting outside the tent which would be wasting valuable gas. Just route the cold AC air into the tent using a flanged register box from home depot (Model # RBF12X4X6) and some ducting. Is there a window in this room? If so, i would go window AC unit before a portable any day (for efficiency), I'm sure you've heard/read many times that portables are not efficient at all and i can attest.

When lights on and injecting Co2, exhaust fans need to be off which is going to cause some big heat issues. Instead, seal it up! as long as you can control the Co2 and temps, you're good to go. If you don't have any controllers to monitor this, you may have to ditch the Co2 and run passive intake/exhaust.
