Air Conditioning

i have a 4x4 tent and i have a duct coming from the ac into the tent for fresh cool air. I'm wondering if having the duct come in at the bottom against one of the pots is it better to just have the air coming in from up high?

If I grew in a tent, I would duct it in from up high. It'll sink anyhow.

I run duct from the floor to high in the tent then from high out of the tent. Gets a lot of heat from the lights that way and brings in cool air.

yeah i exhaust from the top. just wasn't sure if i should also let the cool air in from the top or the bottom. my thought with the bottom is that i didn't want my fan taking out my cool air before it gets in.

I tried running cool air in the bottom, even exhausting from the top I got heat buildup.

That would have been my thought, too. Besides, if you've got at least one oscillating fan in your garden space, the air is constantly getting moved around / mixed, anyway.

what do you mean?

Exhaust at the top.
Exchange air at the bottom.

i had it like that but with the way my tent is the duct was too close to a pot*cant move them around* and didn't wanna cause it any damage. so i just ran it in from the top and it dumps out just over the lights pointing downwards

Does that fan stay on your light ?

yes i changed it a little bit since then but yes i have cans on top of the light

Do you notice a difference ? Just curious

it's not blowing onto the lights. it's on top just to help create "turbulance" for air movement
