GI've it some time. Topping is very stressful for them and will take a little bit to bounce back
Thx buddy can u answer this. Trying to lower temps.
Tell me what's better.
8" filter fan hood hood out window
Or
8" filter fan out window
6" intake laundry room . hood
Hood . back to laundry room
Or
8" filter fan out window
6" Intake from laundry room exhaust into grow room ??
Temp with borh lights is 84 with filter fan hood hood outside..I'm wondering if cooler air through lights will lower it a bit.. If it's worth using 2 fans

If I had to choose one it would be the 3rd. You want an even air exchange or some type of exchange exhaust out of the room and an intake with
Sorry I forgot to mention I have a passive intake..I want the lights to exhaust only when they are on
So which would u choose then ? Or should I block off my passive intake and let the lights be the intake ? But that wouldn't be well circulated coming out the light right..
Will this infact lower my temps

This guy has a 5x5 grow area. An intake hole on the bottom of door to room with a small bathroom Fam blowing air in. Two air cooled 1000 watt light hoods. An 8" inline fan and filter, a 6" fan and filter.
Been trying to help him figure out the best solution to his high temos. Hope this helps people help you lol.
Which is better to run the
8" fan, reduced to 6" going through both hoods and out a 5x10 window hole. And the 6" fan hung next to the other fan and blowing out the same window hole.
-or-
6" fan blowing through both light hoods and then out window.
And 8" fan hung next to the other fan blowing into laundry room.

Hook the 6" fan up to the same timer as the lights. It will only Exaust when their on. The 8" should run all the time. Should hang the 6" fan right next to the left light in the room. And hang the 8" fan and filter in the center of the room attached to celing. Duct it into your laundry room. And boom your done guarantee your temos will be fine. If anything you'll need to add a small passive Intake or make the one you have a little bigger. But just do the other things first

And btw your door Intake isn't passive unless you got rid of the small fan that was attached to it.
Lol I ditched the fan yesterday but then added a carbon filter which is probably restricting it now..
My problem is I can only put one exhaust into the window. I like your ideas but I have something similar I'd like to do.. But don't wanna rearrange my whole room if it won't help.
I wanna use 8" inside room sucking through filter to outside.
Use the 6" sucking from laundry room through lights and back to laundry room..or into the room n close off my passive?
WILL THIS HELP TEMPS????
Lmao..I've cotton so many ideas and such of how to do things.. But I just need other opinion's as well so I can get the best thing going
Your pretty much saying the same thing I am just ur saying to exhaust the room into my laundry room..but I'd rather exhaust the lights ( less warm air in laundry room )
I just.need more opinions and someone to say yes its worth it to use another fan you'll see a drop in temp by atleast 2-5 degrees..then I'll say yo I'll do it. Lol..I just need answers.. I see so many different set ups.. Will adding more electricity using another fsn help or what lol

Ok I got you. Make your own duct boot if you can so that 8" duct feeds evenly into the hole. Not pinched like the 6" duct was. No need to bring the air from your laundry room through the light and then back to the laundry room. A waste. That's the overthjnking part the other part is great. Just hook the 6" fan and filter to the right side of the right light and blow through to the laundry room. No need for anything more. Except for add anther small Intake on one of the walls of you don't mind putting a small hole through concrete. Or put that fan back in your door intake. And get that black carbon filter stuff I told you about(the pet air filter fr Home Depot) and cover the intake hole so light doesn't shine through so bad. I got an idea on an even better way of you wanna inbox me.

Yes two fans will help more than one. The lights put off the heat so exausting that out the window makes the most sense. And then exausting the grow space air with the 8" fan into the laundry room(you'll have an8" Exaust hole not forcing through your window wasting the 8" fans potential)
The filter is what I'm using green one side black the other..
What I don't like about what your saying is use two filters and fans
One exhausting outside one exhausting to laundry room.
That's just exhausting more hot air ? My 8" should be able to do it alone.. I don't want warm air in my laundry room ..that's why if I sucked cool air from laundry room and out it back into laundry room up top it wouldn't change the temp much of the laundry room but cool the bulb down better ? Lowering the temp?
Lol...

You want people to back you up and say yes this will solve your troubles! When your not explaining it well at all even less able to understand it than when you explained it to me. But Im telling you if you run the 6" fan blowing theouh the lights and out the window. And the 8" fan blowing into laundry room with just the fan and filter hung in center of grow room attached to celling. And a couple 16" oscellating fans blowing across the tops of the Canopys. You will be golden. I'm so confident in fact I will personally mail you some Lolipops im making right now.

Yes that air filter material help the light from shining through? I'm telling you man just trust me. You could blow them both out the window but you didn't want to before when I sugested it. No your one 8" won't do it no matter how you put it cause it's being reduced to 6" through light hoods wasting electrixity by not using the fans potential. Running both fans ducts out window is Doing somewhat of the same thing caus of the small hole both ducts being forced theouh. But still will be better than what I'm pushing you do mentioned before^^^^ but you didn't want to do it
But the air going to the lights from laundry would be 65-70.. I doutb it would come out at 80? Wouldn't the exhaust going outside be warmer ?
And if it was 80 going to the lau dry room it would be at the top and mixing with the 70 degree air..and I wanted to add an ac duct into the laundry room to help as well with exchanging air from lights with basement air..
Were on the same page
Just.need some other inputs

Well dude were there! Run the 6" blowing through the light hoods and out the window. Cause that's where 70% of your heat will be and you want it out. The 8" will suck whatever hot air is left from grow room and blow into laundry room. The air will mix and won't be a problem. Adding that ac vent will help.
