Temperature control - ????Cooling unit???? vs Heat mat
TheHighentiststarted grow question 3 years ago
Since im going into flowering soon, i want temperature control.
Im planning on buying an "Inkbird ITC-306T", with the function of day and night time.
But i dont have space for a aircondition in my tent for cooling
Can anyone recommend a cooling unit working similar to a heat mat

The only thing similar to a heat mat for cooling would be something like ice cubes in zip lock bags... but that's not particularly manageable! They do sell some pretty small "air conditioning" products... this one comes to mind: https://www.amazon.com/LifeSmart-EZcool-Single-Outdoor-Portable/dp/B01DGSN70M/ref=asc_df_B01DGSN70M/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241895017101&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7310736158319258141&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002619&hvtargid=pla-455362122932&psc=1
The only other alternative is to keep the room your tent is in cool with an air conditioner... if the surrounding room is cool, then your air intake system will draw that in and keep the tent cooler.
Good luck!

there is no cooling unit that works similar to a heat mat in existence. for heating you just have to run electricity through a resistor. easy. for cooling there has to be extraction of heat which requires a unit to pump that heat outside, like with an ac.
only thing similar to a heating mat for cooling is a peltier module but that is not practical and when one side gets cooler the other side of it heats up so its not gonna achieve any cooling effect in an enclosed environment expect for a very small surface you place the cooling side on.

Connecting 2 grow tentsI have a 16"x16" small tent next to a 48"x24"x72" tent. With 1 small plant in the small tent, is there anything wrong with ducting the air from the small tent to the bigger tent where my carbon filter is. Seperate intake and exhaust for each tent. Has anyone tried this before?

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

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
