Hi at all, this is my first thread in icmag, and I really need your help.
No plants yet I just try my setup.
Tent 4x4
Light - 600w mh bulb with Lumatek ballast and Blockbuster 6 air cooled hood.
Ventilation –Td silent fan 500/150 ,580 mh3 around 340 cfm. Passive intake no carbon filter yet. Acoustic ducting -17 feet around 5 meters.
I will try to explain my setup.
Tent sit in my bedroom. Temp in my bedroom is around 68° F. Temp in grow tent with Td silent fan on and light off is around 59° F. Fan sit in grow tent and suck through 3 feet of ducting from blockbuster, another side of hood stay open I plan to attach carbon filter there.
Window of my bedroom stay open and I extract hot air out, with 14 feet of acoustic ducting and four 90° angles, 2 inside the tent from hood to fan, and 2 outside from tent port to window. Ballast standing outside the tent. When I put thermometer in the top of the tent temp is 63° F with light on, but under my hood is a real problem. I can touch glass of the hood without burn my hand I feel only slightly warm. But when I put thermometer 6 inch under hood temp is 93° F. I read that some people hold their air cooled hoods 6 to 8 inch from tops.
This temp I read without osculation fan blow under the hood. When I put osculation fan, temp is 80° F, 12 inch below the hood.
Is there something wrong with my setup, or I expect too much?
I'm worried that when I put the filter temp will rise.
I will post pics soon
