The temps in his room were getting in the 90's until he added an ac. But because the room encapsulating the grow room is getting too hot.
My friend is having a problem with heat. He is running a hybrid system. 250w HPS, 7 -50w Corn cob full spectrum LED's with an air cooled hood. He is only running a 200cfm (4") exhaust/carbon filter to outside the plywood room. The problem is this, the grow room is built inside a converted patio/living space in back of the house. The walls are thin (foam with metal on each side) We live in the south east states. The only air is from a 1300 btu ac in the converted living space. That was not cooling sufficiently so he installed a 5000btu ac into the grow room to help the temps. it exhausts in the main room. I told him to some how ventilate the back room, but he is afraid because the babies are stinky since the heat brings the smell out and he doesnt want neighbors to know. He is a medical patient.
He has a 8" inline fan with a carbon filter in the middle of the converted room.
The babies are on week 6 of flowering.
He is using FFOF potting mix, FF Trio nutes, FF micro nutes and tap water that has sit out for 24-48 hours. He only ph's the water when he feeds. He feeds every other day. So, he feeds, waters, waters, waters, feeds, etc. He has had no problems with the health of the Purple Haze's from ILGM. He also has a couple fans on the inside to move the air. They get watered 1-2 time a day, half a gallon of water each, each time. I will post pics if needed.
So, how can my friend properly ventilate the converted living space without jeopardizing his OP? He is being super paranoid about his neighbors and wanting no one to know. With the ac cooling the grow room (8hrs of ac), the tempos are still hovering in the 80's.
