92+ degrees in a 2x4x5... With LEDS?(19% RH)

Right, I believe it's more like 20 cents per KWh here, I'm jealous. It's also in the high 10s, low 20s(Fahrenheit) in my area right now, and we use radiators for heat, so with 2 600W lights I don't really produce enough heat to warm the house. I think I'll just get another 600W MH and exhaust the heat into the house like I've been doing, really wish those LEDs would work out though.
Brings me back to humidity, though. I'm gonna be using fabric smartpots which I hear raise humidity, but I always had to use a humidifier even with well vented grow lighting. Pain in the ass to fill every day and if I want to leave for a couple days I come back to a grow tent with a RH around 30%.

Worth knowing your rate, to raise humidity I just grow more or bigger plants

In a dry climate just more and bigger plants doesn't always cut it. I'm in Colorado and it's dry here. I do grow huge plants and I have to run swamp coolers to keep RH up otherwise it's hovering around 20%

Just adding a Lil Blizzard fan seems to have dropped my temps to 83 which I'm happy with, still at 20% RH though. I found a big AC for sale, guys asking $40 but its 18" wide 36" tall and I just don't want to sacrifice all that space. I think I'm gonna grab another humidifier, just gotta fill them every day. Swamp coolers, same thing as an evap cooler right? I have a mini one I got for $20, it actually works but only lasts like, 3 hours per fill which isn't gonna cut it.

Yeah swamp coolers and evaporative coolers are the same thing. Mine are really big whole house ones that connect to a water line with a float valve.

I live in a desert, pretty dry here too. Everyone manages things differently tho...

Any personal experience with any of these?
I like the looks of the chilled logic 2x4, I'll do a little research but nothing beats personal experience.

Yeah I use the boards and a fixture with a couple cobs, whole set up is about 450 watts. I pull about a pound from each run growing from seed, I'd probably get more running clones. For the leds to work good and grow the plants proper you want the inside of you tent right around 82 degrees light s on. If you're struggling with the cold i would probably just buy a hps setup and be done with it.
