At bottom of thread I said I had the measurements wrong. Its 4ft deep 8ft long and 8 ft tall.
2nd, where did the smart ass comment about di k size come from? I asked a legit question. I know how to figure out the footage and fan needed to exchange air. That's not what I asked, I'm trying to reduce temp in tent and asked if it would be better to have a dedicated fan for lights instead of using 1 for ligts and tent ventilation
I equated dick measuring to equipment owning - not meant as an insult - chalk it up to cultural/linguistic differences
.
I have a 8 x 4 x 4 and I use 2 or 3 x 600w with open reflectors
Which I can do - in the cold months - but, when the weather heats up....
I plan on getting 3 Ventilated hoods
(or, even better, 2 x 1000w ballasts with VENTILATED HOODS)
and using a 8"dedicated fan - possibly with a £8 speed controller. (essentially a light dimmer switch).
I think that, unless you have very specific requirements (enclosed area for CO2) a 2nd fan dedicated to the Cool Tubes is preferable to one used as an intake fan.
Humidity becomes a problem when air exchange is too slow.
A intake will help it but so will a more powerful extraction fan.
If the tents temp is much higher than the temp of the room it is in, this can also cause RH problems.
