So I have a 4 by 8 gorilla with a high extension I'm running two California lightworks solar extreme 5 hundreds as well as a Nanolux bar w/ about 440 wat in a garage attic The added space is insulated with a nice fan for exhaust Also has a furnace but no air conditioning so I'm using a generally electric 6100 portable air conditioner Which is being invented out of that fan previously mentioned. I'm tempted to vent the air conditioner through the furnace exhaust which goes Up into the ceiling of the attic And on to the roof for exhaust.?.?...
Or I thought about just putting the AC unit directly inside the tent with the plants and venting through either option. Currently when all the lights are on it's running at almost 85゚ But in the room outside the tent I'm averaging about 76゚ And about the 3rd week of veg

85F is about the upper limit of where you want temps to be. If you can maintain 85F or less, they'll be okay. As far as venting into the furnace exhaust...i'd be hesitant to create a fire hazard involving the furnace. I'm pretty sure you'd be violating some building code for the furnace too.

About 60 lights on currently but it's raining here in IIL. typically it's running around 50% lights on 84 degrees I'm trying to figure out airflow...in attic I have the heavy duty exhaust fan on one side and 6 passive vents at the floor on other side of room (attic room not tent)I currently have lights on at 16/8 tent open with a/c blowing in...:confused: now it's averageing 79 degrees. I had to move to garage attic from house basement which was so much easier to control everything as far as temp and humidity
