i think i know,but could use some help

[buzzed day]

hello all.i'm doing up a new closet and wanted some opions please.
i am hooking up a carbon scrubber and a 6 in. hose that will run from the scrubber to either the top of the closet[about 2ft. above the bat wing] to suck out heat or right above the bat wing for the 400 watt hps. which would be better???? i think top of closet but not sure thanks for all remarks and peace

Why not try it in a number of ways and use what works best.

top is best, directly above light. hot air rises. just make sure your fan is strong enough.

 

[buzzed day]

thankyou both,first i would rather do it right the first time because my plants will be in there.if anyone has a 400 watt hps ,in a 3ft by 3 ft by 7 ft tall closet or cabnet please leave a opion.hose at top of the closet or 2 ft. lower but near the bat wing thanks again for all post and peace

did you already buy your fan? sounds like a 265cfm dayton would be more than enough.

 

[buzzed day]

yes i already have a fan thanks! anyone else think i should put the hose at the top of the closet thanks and peace

definitely top of closet and also put an small standard house fan at the bottom to force air upwards to the exhaust. This will save you a few degrees. Make sure your passive intakes are the correct size and you will have a negative pressure environment.

sorry it toke so long to get back to you but been busy!thanks i did put at top and now going to check on it later.peace

hello need a little more help please.the closet closed up is 90 degrees at scrog level for me during the day with no plants in it,useing the convertion bulb,what temps.should i am for?can't remember lol

 

[MTF-Sandman]

Aim for 75f...where you measuring the ambient or radiant temps? The plant can handle higher radiant temps than ambient....

 

[buzzed day]

thanks sandman it's90 on the side of the wall [it's a sucktion one stuck on the side wall] so i think thats ambient and the other thermounter or however you spell it,in my 3 gallon tubs say's 85 degrees
.got some work to do!!! peace

 

[MTF-Sandman]

Yikes...the room and res temps are too high IMO...especially the res temps. Anything over 80 in the res is asking for root rot...

 

[buzzed day]

hello sandman,i grow in soil so no res or did you mean rad? and now i have brought the convertion buld down to 14 in. above my plants and it was 80 though the night and day on 1 thermouniter and the other one was 90 and it was right across from it.when it's time for flowering i'm pretty sure i can keep it around 75 at night when the lights are on.trying to get it down some more. peace
