for guys running 6000w or more.. do you keep your ballasts in your grow room or outside.. do you vent the heat or ? basically. .summer grow is a lil hotter then i would like.. trying to figure out what to do .. im almost thinking about.. putting my ballasts on metal stands.. inside of my 4x2 clone tent. just taking some ducting putting the small grow tent in my 9x13 room and just using it to hold the heat and have the tent exhausted instead of allowing it to mingle with the air inside the grow

any ideas as to the best idea..

and ive also recently heard from a buddy in the grow game for a long time.. to bring my cold intake in.. and let it go in at the top.. so that it drops and mixes with the air to cool it faster.. especially since my carbon filters are NOT hanging from the ceilings but on a few 5 gallon buckets about 4-5 feet in the air. .


any help. or pictures or diagrams of how you guys run your intake and exhaust in the summer

i might even drop a 1000w bulb and just put my adjustawing on a lightmover and only cool 4000w. and then run the 1000w on the light mover for the sog part of my room

not sure what to do . only 9 days into flower.. gotta start cleaning them up and take cuts soon. i like revegging cuts as i seem to get better yields and a more uniform canopy with tons of tops that way without having to do much of anything but provide them with a bunch of light and then top accordingly to make tons of tops.
