You can run up to about 6kW of lighting in that space I would say.
Two large extractors might pull enough fresh air with that ambient temp, and I guess bugs from outside are not much of an issue then too.
Your extractors will need to push a total of 3200 cubic foot per minute With a bit of headroom as the ratings on the side is for smooth bore round ducting.
Do not expect to grow great weed. It is easy growing mediocre weed. For the primo stuff, you want to ACTIVELY control temperatures and humidity day and night.

Running living soil in 50 GAl pots was hoping to run 12 and Scroggins the whole thing or half? And I was thinking 8 1k xxxl hoods or is that stupid lol my buddy does that in about a space the same size and pulls like 15 to 17 a harvest but then I've been looking into diy cob leds so now I wanted some RIU opinions lol

This room was 15x16 and I ran 10kw in the middle of summer in L.A 100+ temps with a 8000 btu window AC and 3 vortex 6” fans. The room was sealed and pulled 100f air through the hoods all day and still never got above 85f with a 20lb co2 tank lasting almost 40 days. If you had a 2 ton mini split or wall unit you’d be golden.

Question. Does anybody manufacture a COB fixture that can be duct cooled?
The mean heat benefit to LEDs above HID is that the latter can do nothing about the heat it sends out in IR. it has to go out with the light. IN COBs, if someone is smart enough to design a proper housing, that 15% wasted heat energy will get sucked right off the heatsink and out the room.

Thanks! With elite genetics back in the day when this was done we got a P a light lol. Those are cool tubes with clear pbt plastic collars I swaged on to the tubes with a heat gun. 2 rows of 3 and 1 of 4 made 10kw the fastest room I ever built, hanging 3 lights at at time!
