Howdy folks.
I’ve been growing for years and have always had heat problems. I live in a desert. I suck at doing manly things with tools and have just done what I could, portable a/c units, portable swamp coolers etc. These things always break down from overuse. I’ve found someone I trust who can do whatever carpentry/electrical work I need done.
I had done hours of research at OG regarding what I would need to make my closet cooler but I can’t find the disk with the info. It might have gotten tossed the last time I cleaned my cave. I really don’t want to start from scratch. If you can answer some basic questions, it would be appreciated.
Anyway I have a 5 foot x 5.5 foot by 11 foot high flower closet. It’s in my bedroom so I’d like to keep the noise down to a dull roar if possible. I use a 1,000 watt HPS. The ceiling has a trap door to the attic . it’s a pretty low space, not like an attic that you can make into a spare room). It’s mostly stuffed with insulation.
What would you recommend I get to cool the room down and where to vent to? I want the best, quietest products I can find. I find info on Centrifugal fans, exhaust fans and axial fans. I’m confused. What do I need?
I remember about reading about making changes so the vents that carry the air conditioning air can be routed to the flower room. I’m going to try to read up on this.
My light has a hood that will allow for tubing to be stuck onto both ends.
It’s my house so I don’t care if he needs to cut into some walls. i was thinking of venting (keep in mind I know the concept but don’t know what vents what to where) the hot air into my bathroom or the attic. If it’s 110 degrees outside, I’m wondering if venting to the attic will actually work.
In addition, any threads/ info you can point me to regards making the house safer by adding breakers or whatever has to do with electricity would be helpful. I’m pretty sure electricity is magic and I don’t F with it.
Thank you!
