Hey everyone ...I just moved recently and it gave me a little more room to dedicate to an upgrade...now the location of the room I am using doesn't really have direct access to the outdoors (for ventilation purposes)...so I basically boxes out a flower spot in the room (Aprox 8.5'x4.5' give or take a few inches). I am using the rest of the room and closet for vegging/cloning that sort of thing. I already have a decent amount of babies in veg and the cloning is going fine...actually everything was until I test ran my flower room...so in there I am running 2 - 1000w hps, I have a 4" inline bring air in, as well as a wall mounted AC unit built in, and I have a 6" exhaust fan pulling through a carbon filter...so my first problem here is the heat...or I should say this is what I'm most concerned with. I know that's a lot of light but I thought between the AC and the fan setup I would be cooling down and exchanging air quick enough to not have this problem...wrong! First test run it got up to 120+ in there...so I thru in a floor mount AC to see if it would help and it got down to around 105...and yes the ballasts are located outside the flower Area...also from all that heat and from the exhaust on the AC unit my veg area started getting pretty hot as well...now my next thing will be to get air cooled hoods this week and see how much that will help... However I'm sure exhausting all that hot air into the other half of the room will make the veg area hot...any ideas? Also sometimes when the 2000 watts kick on it blows a fuse and I have to keep resetting...any suggestions for that also? I expanded quite a bit from myast set up so I've never had to deal with these things on such a large scale...also I am sorry if I missed anything or if I'm all over the place...I am typing from my iphone... Not ideal but no access to a comp at the moment...thanks in advance for any suggestions
