So I have the new grow room addition complete and we are getting ready to get our lighting and ventilation set up. Take a look at my floorplan and tell me what you think. I have drawn out where there are raised floors for the totes to sit on. The floors form an 'L' shape with the two sections being divided by a reflective curtain in order to have 2 separate grows. The blue squiggly lines are the reflective curtains that will keep the light held within the grow area.
The bottom section (of the 'L')of the grow floor is 4'deep by 8' wide(as you face it) and will have 2 600w HPS in hoods and one 400wHPS in a cooltube(these are marked over the floorplan in orenge marker). The other section is 3' deep by 10' wide (or long). It will have 3 600wHPS in cooltubes (also denoted on floorplan in orenge marker).
I have 2 holes in the floor of the building right behind the entry door. These will be my intake that draw air from beneath the room. There will be an airconditioner in the end wall for the summer heat. My exaust is in the end wall at the ceiling (beside the AC). I intend to cut a second exaust hole in that wall on the opposite side.
My intention is to have one intake and exaust serve the lights and the other bring in fresh air to the room and exaust stale air. Do you guys think I can do the air cool of the lights efficiently with one intake and exaust? if so what would be the best configuration. I was thinking of placing a 'Y' connector on the intake and routing each leg to 3 of the lights in series, then have them join back up into the one exaust with another 'Y' then be pulled by a single strong vortex fan. What do you think?
