Yep. Where I am in summer I have to have a split system aircon running plus 3 x1000 hps and my 2 x315 led on grow. Last summer my power bill for 90 days was $2900I envy you growers with basements. Some good info.
Forced to use a controlled room for drying here in Norcal. Huge swings in temps and humidity.
I dry in my sealed flower room after I chop. Whole plant. I'm keeping it around 65f/60h hoping for a slow 7 to 10 day dry. Pulled most huge fans.
