What goes out first comes in. Air, humidity, heat, and COLD. Fall is here and soon the temps will drop.
My 3'x4'-6' tent is in a heated garage. All summer long I have been battling heat and humidity. Soon I will have to pay to heat all that exhausted air. I have read there should be enough exchange air to replace the volume every 2 minutes (optimal). How much exchange air do I really need? What is the less than optimal minimum?
I'm using 2-150 watt LED lamps and heat from the lights has not been an issue, the lamps are only warm. The circulation fans are also cool and the power head for the inline exhaust fan is outside the tent so no added heat inside the tent. The ventilation/exhaust fan is 400 cfm with an inline controller on the power cord, even with the controller turned down there is still lots of air flow.
I will get another controller, no worries there. Ambient humidity won't be problematic as flowering time approaches a low humidity time of year. Heating all that cold air is my concern.
Does someone have resource that will estimate a min-max? Like a graph of humidity/temp/air volume?
