Glad it helped You still will need to vent the hot A/C exhaust out of your grow area But I just found a way to route it out through the exhaust side of my air-cooled fan system with a splitter for my ventilation. So I could just hook up the A/C exhaust to the exit side of my air-cooled reflector and exhaust it through the same area as all the other heated air. Im sure theres a lot of good solutions to that but thats what I did.
thanks alot sir. +reps for that one. I just started looking.
SO after posting about the heat issue. To short term fix the problem until i get either more ventilation or an A/C unit, i just turned off my side lighting. Which has dropped the temp down to 75F. My thinking, is simply that with the light so low, and lighting on ALL sides, there was no real way to fit a fan under the light to remove the hot air. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to keep side lighting until the flowering stages of the plants when the light is higher above the canopy to fit a fan underneath if that makes sense.
Good news is ALL the heat stress, (canoeing and curling of the leaf edges) have completely left.
