Best way to cool your tent/ growbox?
TeeAychCeestarted grow question 2 years ago
So I’ve built a custom growbox using an IKEA wardrobe, air vent for intake, two circulating fans, carbon extractor exhaust, and a 600W LED grow light. Temps average at 29 degree Celsius with the lights on full, is this too high? Best way to bring the temps down? Many thanks!

29 C it's within the optimal range to grow.
Make sure the air intake is coming fresh and not from the room that the tent is set up
try to have an extra fan just for the leds to try and cool them.
All said you are perfectly fine growing with 29C, the plants will love it.

Very similar to what I did. Many years ago. The extractor fan should be pulling enough air to cool it down. But you inlet grill is probably a little to high you want that near the base. You may also need another vent for air in if its not cooling down at all.

Lights airstone c02What light to plant distance would you set it at? The only test I've done is at 25 inches its stable at 80°f and 75% humidity. When I lower it to 18 inches, the tent read 85°f and 73 humidity.
Other question I have is what's your favorite air stone(disk)?
Lastly, add c02 yes/no

Sealed grow air scrubAfter adding a dehumidifier, evaporative cooler and c02 bag I decided to go ahead and do a sealed grow to better control the environment. Conditions look great. I’d like to know if I can loop my exhaust to recirculate the air to scrub it when things get stank? Video on the diary

Now getting condesation in my tent when I've added this duct to a pipe exiting the house? Am near harvest too.Didn't have an issue with condensation inside the tent before, now that I've attached the duct to a pipe going out i'm getting condensation inside... Does the set up look right? I've hooked up to a smaller tent too via a T. Could it be pressure?

Intake Fans / Opening Lower Air Ducts or Back Flap?I'm researching intake fans and/or opening lower ducts to pull air in. I never worried about intake in the past, I just made sure my fan up top was sucking air out of the tent to create negative pressure. Thoughts on intake fans or having the back flap of the tent open? Thanks!Setup. Ventilation

Extraction fan runningI have a Ambient Q60 tent... When I cover up the air intake holes during light off hours and want to leave the extraction fan running, the air from the whole tent looks like its being sucked out. There's no room for air to get it. Am I doing something wrong?
