After trying different ways to cool down my box I have come to the conclusion I need a cooling system.So being the cheapskate I am, I have made a plan. I have a working refrigerator that just happens to be sitting right beside my grow box (hides vent hose).
So the idea is to cut a 4" vent hole in the back of the fridge and cover inisde hole with a rubber X vent. Then send the hose to a third vent hole in the grow box.I will connect it to a 4" duct fan inside the box.I just ordered a thermostat outlett plug the duct fan into to keep temp where I want.
Given that it actually works I still can't decide to vent from the fridge section or the freezer.I'm running at 95 degrees completly shut during a warm day. I really don't want to end up cutting two holes in the fridge so I thought I would ask what you all thought would work better.Longer period cooling from fridge or shorter cold blasts from freezer?
