So basically the question I had with this set up it because it is so large (the green area is about 8'x 8') do I need to constantly vent the air?
Today was about 84* and with a 1000watt light running for 2 hours the temp remained at 70*(WITH NO AIR VENTING) maybe climbing only 1* during the entire 2 hours.
I figure if I run the fan vent system I will essentially be pumping the hot outside air into the basement. My plan was to run the light at night say from 8pm-12noon, along with the vent system. Pumping in cooler night time air. Then stopping the light and all intake of air during the hotter hours of noon to 8pm. During this time I would have 2 fans rotating air around the basement.
Will this work or do I need to be pumping fresh air the entire time, even when the lights are off?
I would at most be growing 6 plants at once in this area. So I figure there is enough air to last a while because the entire basement is probably 35'x20'
Also the humidity is staying at 15%. I don't wanna spend huge amounts on humidifiers to fill this large area because I am only using a small amount.
Can I buy vapor ones and have a couple small ones near the plants? I assume 15* is to low for any grow period. Also There is bare pink insulation about 10' away from the green grow area do I need to cover this or will I be good if the air flow from the side of the insulation doesn't run through the grow area?
