I'm not growing in my garage. I'm growing in my flower room. Damn I could only imagine growing in a sealed tent out there............. Man temps wood kill. A cool tube will get rid of 90% of your tents tho,, with a proper ductwork system. I have done it more than once.
But I'm doing this in my spare room that has been converted to a flower room. It's a 10X12 room. With that floor vent,,, that use to be the central HVAC unit vent removed and sucking cool air from under. I run my inline fan at say 50%. This fan is about 1,000 Cubic foot per minute... It's on constant, switching over 500 cubic foot , so you do the math how often it turns over the air, and temp in that room. My intake feels like an A/C unit pumping straight cool air in when I turn up the fan. Temps outside are,,, hang tight...
80 and lights just came on,,, 76 in there. But I know it will hit 80 easy tonight. Even if I turn up the intake..
As long as you keep a good air flow,, it works wonders... My outdoor plants sit in dirt. Perched 3 1/2 inches over an oven temp of the concrete in the sun. Sucks,,, but what am L going to do?
Indoors the girls are adjusting. I have 4 under HID, 4 under LED and 2 plants in the overlap, which is a puppies and a Gelato.
Here's after the lights fired;;
I might have another pic or two on the camera....
