Hi Nat,
First of heard of them looking around there seems to be allot of mixed reports as to whether they are worth the extra money, and the fact that theyve been available for some years now without any uptake into the market does not bode well.
However, I will speak to the experts tomorrow and get back you.
Kind regards,

That's a great setup....for someone that can/wants to do all of that but, I haven't seen to many others that want to go the extreme of cutting a hole in their roof's to vent heat out. A lot of people's grow rooms or cabinets are in basements. Instead of running a vent up 2 floors and cutting a hole in my roof, I'd prefer to look into more realistic options. It's great you can do what you did, but, it's not really an option for for the majority of growers."But Sublime, your grow room must be hot as hell?"
WRONG, MOTHERFUCKA! Lights on temp is 76-80, lights off 70-72. How do I manage this impossible feat? Unfortunately being a total badass, which I am, has no place in the growroom. Instead I ventilate. Air is pulled from the vent fan duct from my bathroom, piped through the attic, and exhausted through a pipe and out the roof.
Umm I never cut any holes. I smiply tapped into the existing pipes going out the roof.That's a great setup....for someone that can/wants to do all of that but, I haven't seen to many others that want to go the extreme of cutting a hole in their roof's to vent heat out.

Growing in an attic or top floor? I don't know how big your grow room is but by venting out of the roof, do you have to use odor control? I'm in a cab in a finished basement of a 3 story house......no chance I can tap into something to vent out of my roof. But that's a cool set up to be able to keep those temps that low with the light that close to the canopy!Umm I never cut any holes. I smiply tapped into the existing pipes going out the roof.
Yes, attic. An odor is controlled via carbon scrubber. I wish I had a basement I could grow in. But no, mine's full of mexicans.Growing in an attic or top floor?

I saw in your gallery, you had a 5'10" plant with that 430 watt light. You have a a lot more cubic feet to heat up then I do. I've got a total of 27-30 inches in grow height by 36 wide and 30 deep. 400 watts cmh with a 4 inch fan and carbon scrubber temps are running High 70's -82 degrees now. I cut a piece of white paneling and then cut out for the reflector in the center of that, mounted the carbon scrubber directly behind the light socket and vented it out of the cab into the ceiling. That was the best I could do to get the heat out. I'm thinking about modifying the opposite side of the reflector to fit a 120 mm, 93 cfm fan to blow directly on the end of the bulb blowing back through the other side to the carbon scrubber. If I can get to the mid 70's I'll be happy. Plants are not showing any problems at the current temps but the cab is not full yet either, I just started cutting the first clones so it's going to take a while.Yes, attic.

Man you might be able to do even better if your in an unfinished basement. Just vent out the sewer line. Interesting read, thanks for the post..I'm in a cab in a finished basement of a 3 story house......no chance I can tap into something to vent out of my roof.
