4x8 Tent with a 4x8 Living Soil Bed. Temp & humidity struggles.

Hey friends. Ive recently just got my 4x8 living soil tent kicked off and running. One thing i was not expecting was my LEDs to get as hot as they did. Not a huge biggie as i have a full AC Infinity setup and just exhaust when it gets too hot. Problem is, that has been dropping my humidity like a rock.

So i have a little humidifier on its way but i just dont know where to put it as i have 0 extra space in the tent. Im thinking i can lay a board across the beds PVC and just sit it on top, but once the plants actually fill the full canopy that wouldnt work. Unless i train them around the humidifier. That or hopefully once they fill canopy they will generate and maintain humidity better on their own.

Anyways, id love to hear was solution's other have done in similar situations. Or how other people keep their LEDs cool without AC. Do higher end LEDs handle heat better?

In my opinion, all LEDs heat up about the same, regardless of class. Pay attention to the heat dissipation from them. LEDs are very sensitive to overheating. Maybe not a pleasant moment.

Heat output is mainly dictated by power draw and minor efficiency differences. Basically 200w of heat is 200w of heat.

A 250w LED will put out the same heat as a 250w HID, but generally have better dissipation due to the larger surface area.
