Help! Low temp

[kiwiboy]

It is -5.0 degree C (23F)outside. So My room is getting rather cold at lights out, which is during the day. Thought that having the lights on at night would help keep the room warm, which it is to some degree.

I was wondering if it is fisable to connect the carbon filter to a recirculating fan inside the room instead of having it connected to the exhaust fan 24/7. In this way I'll be able to have the exhaust fan on a thermostat so that it only comes on when the room is too hot, but the recirculating fan can be on 24/7.

My place does stink up if the carbon filter is not on 24/7.

Would a recirculating carbon filter(20kg 900mm x 250mm) be enough to mitigate the smell from the room?

That is good to know littlebud. I'll implement a strategy to beat the cold this weekend.

Some folks have two grow areas and a switch to switch one ballast between two bulbs / flowering areas.. That is a timer and a relay. When the power is on, one set is contacts are active when the power is off the other set is active.

That is one ballast and two hoods..
Mind ya I have only read about this.


Sounds like your cold weather could use the heat 24/7

I have used the heat to keep my place warm.. In fact why waste it?

I also have used carbon filtered air indoors.. I smoke and so I have a can on a 6 inch inline fan just to suck up the refer smell..

I built a box that houses carbon and filters like we use for the AC..

I need to post that thread on this site.. I think I might.

I have heard about what you are talking about. Flip flop system.

Not practicall in my situation, I need two 600w hoods going at the same time to keep the temps up. And I don't have the room to flip flop 4 hoods.

Good advice tho. thanks mate.
