Temperature control - ????Cooling unit???? vs Heat mat

TheHighentiststarted grow question 3 years ago

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.

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work? Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter? Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

2x2 Circulating Fan What is the best circulating fan for a 2x2 tent available on the european market? I bought a Secret Jardin MO20 oscillating fan, and I highly regret it because I have read several reviews mentioning that it can catch fire. Is there any other good alternative for circulating air?

Maintaining VPD I've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?

Best way to keep a tent in the loft cool Cooling the loft... so I've got my tent in the loft, I have a 4" inline extracting from the tent and a 6" inline feeding air into the loft. This works perfectly the majority of the time.. I can keep things at 25°c with ease. But on hot days the tents gets too hot....

In-line fan use I’m just wondering how much to run an in-line fan. I’ve read every 1-3 mins, but I would like to know how long does it run in between those times? Is it constantly turning on and off? Do I need to put it on a timer? Thanks.

Growtent Humidity control How do you control humidity/temp when using a grow tent? is it enough to put a dehumidifier in the same room as the tent and close the tent and just blow the air outside with a fan and tubing? Do u need an intake fan too? Or does the "good air" gets sucked in enough without ? THX
