first 1k watter, temp issues like hella

I am running a cool tube in a 4.5 x 4.5 ft hut. My ambient temp before growing is 70 degrees. I woke up this morning and my hut was a whoping 86.5 degrees. I run it at night to offset it a little bit, but it after like 8 am it starts heating up real good, cuz im running 18 - 6 for a lil while to veg all my moms under it, then it will be flower chamber. i have another veg chamber with a 400 watt mh in the same room. should i move one of these set ups out of the room? because i can do that. we got air conditioning in the house i was thinking id move it into anotehr room and use the rooms AC vent and just duct it into the hut. the holes for ducting in my hut are both at the top. so my exhaust duct would come out the top and the ac duct would come in from the top. Do you guys think that, that would work?

my only thing is that, the ac coming in from the top will just go right into cool tube and out thru the exhaust. cuz my intake and exhaut would both be at the top of the hut. (there is also a passive intake at the bottom if u kno how hydrohuts work)

So you have 2 huts that are exhausting into the same room and intaking from this same room?

Exhasut the huts out of the room or put a fan in the doorway and pull some air from the rest of the house. It sounds like the room the huts are in is getting too hot.
 
ya i think ur right i have been leaving my door open to counteract but no luck yet. i have to leave my 1k watter hut open while in light cycle

and some of my plants are burnin up i think, are some strains more likely to get heat stress than others>?

Yes the word hella has infected the English language ever since Cartman started tellin people "Thats hella weak" hahaha, but yea...

I would move one of the huts to another room, that will help out a lot, otherwise i would say you blow a fan into your room like others have suggested. Good luck dude.

I'm guessing the plants would support the use of "Hella"


Wack my pee-pee, but my garden goes to crap about 80 F


Draw your air from up high for the cool tube (Heat rises - so get the hot air first) and exhaust it out of the room

I run my vegging 16 hours. 6pm to 10am. I have a vortex pulling in cool outside 55 degree air that discharges the cooler air into upper part of the room. Another fan exausts the hot air from the light out through the top of the room. I set the thermostat for 73 degrees. I too would probably have 85 degree temps if the lights were on past 10 am in the morning. I'm only using a 250 MH now but when I go to flip the lights I will be using a 600 HPS. By then, cooler weather will have arrived and the lights will come on at 6 pm and go off at 6am.
