Grow Room Build

[LEFTHAND]

I have the fan on pivot left to right. Intake sucking from bottom blowing in back right corner. The exhaust has a obstacle it is sucking through hood from left side of area. Thats why I want another exhaust. If that doesn't work I'm putting a window unit in the bedroom window and routing fresh cool air straight into room through a passive hole. What do you fellas think about that? The light is hot and should keep humidity down. It's at 21-25RH with room sealed. Shouldn't bring it over 40RH. My veg area stays at about 38RH would the unit effect that?
For the fan won't that keep my stems strong where they won't bend and fall over from the weight of the buds?
My temps are about 5-6 degrees difference from outside temps

The fan will strengthen them sum.. yes.. you would think the heat from the light would keep the rh down but you have a huge half barrrel that fills with water and a res in your room... this will bring up rh .. expecially if it gets hot in there..
if you have fresh air coming in.. and not plumbed to your table.. put your fan there to kick up the cooler fresh air and spread it around... like zem said we or you should beable to do this without over kill .. its all in the design.. as you already know..

After I run with no oscilating and get a temp reading I will drop fan stand all the way down and try to blow intake air up towards reflector. Try that see what happens. Intake is about a foot from corner blowing in corner to circulate. Should my exhaust not be pulling through my hood? Just from area and out?

Appreciate the patience guys its all trial and error from here.

I would try both.... its nice to have it pulling threw the hood if you can.. gets rid of that much more heat from the bulb... as well for the air in.. should come in from the opposite side as the exhaust.... so you can get it circulating in the room not corner..
osculating fan on low?? med? high?
you know what man.. alot of people here had patience for almost everyone at sometime... all we need is just a lil patience.. heheh

Fan is on low and duct fans intake/exhaust are opposite from eachother. Intake is on lower right side and exhaust is on left side up high.

I would definatly try to put the fan over the intake... and bring up and blow around that nice cooler air.. ... also doing so i would try covering up a passive intake hole as well.. to allow the fan to "concentrate" on suckin room air mostly.. not bringin in fresh air.. thats what the air intake is for yes? no? a few things to try.. thank god you dont have lil ones in there hehehe..

I don't have any passive holes yet. At about 12:30cst I will try the fan over the intake. Let you know how it turns out.

BTW I follow your res tech works great. I bought a ppm meter and just add about 5gals every 2 weeks of nutes that I need to 1000-1200ppm's.

I have a mommy that has out grown my veg area waiting to dive in. She keeps getting burnt touching the 6500K's. She is being replaced due to lack of room at the moment.

 

[LEFTHAND]

stupid question?? but you have an open end on you hood right..
or is it boxed off at the one end??
LH

 

[-C@jun-]

open

 

[-C@jun-]

Temp same as if fan was running. Moved intake behind fan and have fan on low. Will update with temp by 2:00CST

 

[-C@jun-]

Same temp. Took exhaust off hood and let sit temps instantly started climbing. I'm going to have to get a window unit to route a/c in room to get out of 80's.

you do have another fan coming.. yes?? exhaust your hood seprate... keep the intake.. and use the new fan as an exhaust for the room.. that will do er.just a thought anyways.. window unit will do er too i guess.imagine if you had that 1000w in there.. she be 120F+lol

Really. :holysheep:

My card number got ripped over the week and my order was declined on the fan. Have to go up to the bank tomorrow and dispute a bunch of transactions. So check your accounts. Somebody was trying to have fun on my expense. Thank god Chase caught it. 411.18 on clothes, 194.19 on jdate, 20.00 on BBC Preston. Kind of glad now I have another brain fart. Thinking of leaving my intake and exhaust like it is. Put the window unit in the temp wall and run it just like that. Rig up some sort of drainage system for the unit. Then I would have a better control of the temps. I could keep them at 70F. Would then get a dehumidifier if humidity rose over 40.

Yeah its messed up checking your account seeing 600 bucks roughly missing. It's all being taken care of by the bank though.Isn't the first time. I was coming in from work one morning filled up on gas in some hole in the wall town down here. Got home checked my account think it was pay day or something. Had a Norwegain shuttle ride 523$ charge. Called my bank about it. They asked me a stupid question"You sure you or your wife didn't make this transaction. I cursed at them and told them how could I fill up on gas in the boot and be in Norway 2 hours later getting a shuttle ride.
Saved me 40-50$ on that fan. I just don't want to spend any excessive money and not go my way. I figure the a/c on low cool settings. I could control the temps. Put the unit on a timer for only when the lights are on 6am-6pm still have my intake and exhaust running 24/7. More control less heat stress better bud production. Just worried about the humidity bud rot etc. but I will be finding out today. I googled it and there seems to be quite a few people using them or is in the works. I didn't read much on humidity problems. Just that the protable ones were garbage. Besides smells.

Put the a/c in the temp wall. Been running it all day. Now I'm trying to dial in the temp to 70 from the 60's. Even with the intake sucking in hot air from the exhaust of the a/c. Humidity actually dropped from 40-41 to 30-33 with a/c. Just have to cut overflow down another inch and run flood tub make sure my humidity doesn't shoot up during watering and seal up light leaks.

How we doing C@jun?? did the rh stay down as you wished it to lol..
glad to see the problems fixed and your able to start filling the room...

[-C@jun-]

Yes sir. RH staying at 30-33 even during watering. Cut overflow down a inch. Water staying a inch under hydroton. No water showing from top of tub. Got temps at a cool 70F a/c on timer from 6am-6pm. Stuck up my last piece of mylar and threw momma in there. Gonna use mineral water until I can afford a C02 setup. It's like 300$ for the tank regulator and hosing. You know that awful 1st of the month is right around the corner.

1st Pic: Flower room while testing water level can see window unit.
2nd Pic: Momma in room everything on 38" tall momma. light leaks taken care of.
3rd Pic: My veg tray. Some leaves got hurt left them in clone box to long. Learned 7 days max in clone tray still have 100% success rate though. I know I need to clean tray will do tonight when it gets dark.
