alrighty...on to unpleasant task #2 for the day....time to ride to walmart...its already about a gazillion degrees outside,i expect to sweat out about 50lbs of water weight getting there and back!ok,i dont really expect it to be too awful,its only a couple of miles after all...
i was right,its hot out baby! like riding in an oven...albeit an oven set to just over body temp,but an oven none the less...
Steamy bad over here, tho the storms we were expecting never hit, oh well.
Dans what'd they not have?

turn that oven up another 15 degrees and you have las vegas,
go to court Monday, my PO is recommending no more probation
hope the Judge agrees
That would be awesome for ya JW !!! 
fingers crossed !
dinners done , guess i'll head down & get started on hangin the lights & shit . still haven't decided on how i'm venting it .
do you think 1 8" max fan (950cfm ) would push the hot air through 4 lights ? i should i use 1 on each bank of 2 lights ?

two six inch fans will handle 4 hoods just fine....
Is it gonna go from filter thru lights then out ? Or from out across lights to out?
You can calculate all sorts of $hit but trial and error usually does the trick

yeah , but i'm working with 8" hoods & fans . trying to figure if 1 fan will do it in a loop or if i should just use 2 fans , 1 on each bank of 2 lights & then just join them with a T before they go out .
i'm thinking i'll use my existing set up to cool the lights only , then set up the 2 filters in the room just scrubbing the room .
the light cool vents will all be 8" . 1 8" intake with a T to both banks of lights & then another T at the exhaust end going outside .
or the 8" intake going to 1 light & continue on to the other 3 lights (a loop ) then 1 8" exhaust out .
if i do loop all 4 , i could put an 8" at each end , if that would help ....... one drawing & 1 blowing out .
which do you think would be better for cooling the lights ? & is just cooling the lights going to be enough to bring the room to ambient temps ? or is it still going to heat up enough i'd have to cool the room with AC ?
wish i could draw this out for ya to see .....

if sucking air no more than 2 lamps per fan,i would stick to that even if blowing the air through since the last lamp in line is going to have really hot air blowing across it...
"T"s suck for airflow,you wants "Y"s to connect ductwork...
depends on your fresh air source temp as to what your room temp will be,you will have to set the house a/c to like 70 to maintain a 70-ish degree flower room with 4 lamps...its not the bulb heat,its the infrared the lamp generates coupling with stuff enough to warm it up,like the air namely...so it would be best to get the filtered air out of the room if you can,it will set up better airflow if the flower room is being evacuated as well as refreshed...

I think i'm gonna loop it . start off with 1 fan on the exhaust end cuz its already set up that way . then i can always add another one on the intake end if i need to move more air .
the 2 filters will have a fan on each just scrubbing the room .
if i need AC ...... i'll look into that mini split & put it in veg where i need it most & use the whole veg room as a lung for the flower room .
can almost guarentee thats what will wind up happening in the end .
ok , scrub that ! Unc just changed my mind lol

I meant Y's .....& thats what i have , dunno why i say T's lol
get the scrubbed air out huh ??? maybe i should just put them on the light exhaust like i have them in the tents now ..... easy enough done .
i'll just join the 2 exhaust hoses at the end where it'll go outside .
my intake is up near the ceiling now , i should drop that to floor level , center of the room preferably .....
just thinking out loud here ....... thanx Unc
As long as your keeping the rest of the house around 72 pushing/pulling the filtered air out is prob not gonna create a problem, it might make the house ac slightly work more but the slab and walls since you are in a basement is gonna cool the rooms too. A Plus, is that that "fresh" or "new" air will be passively pulled in or down. Idk you'd def save more efficiency not blowing air you have cooled, out.
