Hello everyone - first post here, though I've been reading these forums for a while. Usually I find answers, but this time I'm just not coming up with a solution.
I am struggling with heat in my bloom room - I've been running 600w lights, but made a change over to 1000w lights this cycle and I can't get the heat down, every day the temperatures are moving into the mid-high 80's which is waaaayyy too hot.
Originally, we had two 8" fans (1 fan per 2 lights) pulling through a carbon filter and exhausting outside. We also had a 6" fan exhausting from the ceiling to outside. (By outside, I mean outside the house, not just outside the room)
I just changed the setup for the lights, now the two 8" fans are setup after the lights and pull in from outside and exhaust to a different part of the outside. The 6" fan still vents through a filter to the outside. This seems to be helping, but its still too hot in the room, capping in the mid 80's.
The weather here is not especially hot, currently, outside highs are getting up to about 70, and over the summer we'll hit 90 occasionally, but mostly its fairly temperate.
I've attached a rough sketch - I'd love some ideas. I am planning to add 6 more lights in the next room over, but I have to solve the heat issue before I take that step. Our veg room is in another room right next door, but it usually stays in the 70's even with minimal ventilation.
A few other details: The lights are 8" magnum xxxl, the ducting is all flexible 8", and all intake outtake connections are 8" as well.
Help! Thanks!
