So I have a veg room that is 15ft x 9ft x 6ft height I had 40 plants in there. Someone told me to use 3 1000w Metal Halide bulbs free hanging vertically. This was heating up the room like crazy, had an 8000BTU AC running nonstop, 2 humidifiers running when the lights were on and a dehumidifier when they were off
I wanted some advice; I was thinking maybe 2 or 3 600 Metal Halides with air cooled hoods? The temp at night when the lights are on is 45fh average, maybe split the intake to the hoods to a fan that pumps outside air in the room with some kind of controller to turn that fan off at a curtain temp?
Again, I never done this before I feel like Im a little lost. Im not stupid, but I could really use some advice.. Maybe 2 600s is enough or 3, but I kind of think that air cooled hoods is the way to go and some intake of 45f degree air from outside would lower my my monster electric bills? Filters on everything of course. Any suggestions?
