Good Morning all!! II've been growing for just over a year using CFL's, and my current set up works perfectly for temp and odour control, in fact at times i have to turn the extractor fan off, to allow the heat to build up a bit.
Today or tommorrow, my 250 HPS is arriving, and to allow for the extra heat, I will be changing my airflow set up slightly.
The diagram below, hopefully demonstrates 2 things:
1. Why I'm not a Graphic Designer
2. How I plan to have my tent set up to keep the plants cool, and the lights as close as possible.
Stats (as planned currently)
Tent - 2x2x5 or 60x60x180
Fan - 4" TT wiith 187 m3 per hour, with Prima Flima filter
2 x 3.5" fans - like bigger versions of computer fans, and 240v, so plug straight in
one small fan will take air from near one passive intake, to help keep the root systems cool (but will not be obstructed directly to pots as diagram may suggest)
hopefully this cool air will then start to rise at the other end of the tent, where a second small fan will be blowing the hot air away from the bulb straight away, into the area where the extractor draws air from.
Anyone know if there is anything i'm missing or not understanding?? Also, I appreciate that the airflow will not be that exact in real life, but is just for demonstration purposes.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help
