hi all, I have setup my room and babys about 3 days ago
I have 2 x 600w HPS lamps 1 metre above my 14 babys, I have an extraction fan with filter that I leave on for 18 hours with the lamps, the temprature in the grow room exceeds 87~88deg F with the lights and the fan operating at full speed, iv managed to bring it down to 82deg F by leaving the door open for 15 minutes and am expecting it to drop more in the next 15 minutes, however the door cannot really stay open because of the light, im not sure where i could get an intake from im in a top floor penthousehave borded up the grow room window with plasterboard and put my exhaust through the plasteredboard with the window open the other side.
I dont have any oscillating fans as of yet but will be putting one in later today however im not sure thats going to drop the temprature by enough, obviously this is winter and i dont heat my flat at all so in summer its going to be a bigger problem.
but the other problem is the temprature drops to about 60deg F with the lamps off, my room space is as follows
total room size
55 square ft
412.5 cubic ft
grow area size (seperated with height of lamps at moment and reflective sheeting on pure white walls)
35.75 square ft
160.88 cubic feet
if anyone can help me troubleshoot my setup id be very happy.
thank you
jim
