Reusing the grow room heat

Discussion in 'Grow Room Design/Setup' started by Jsaunders, Jun 4, 2022.

  1. I’m in a 13x12 room. it’s been cool here and I’m trying to vent the heat out of the room. But it’s just not cooling

    I’ve tried 2 -18” fans - in the door opening/ into the hallway …..both blowing out/ in / and one out and in

    It in the 60s-70 house - do I need more cfm to move the air out of the room to heat the house or should the door opening be closed off and just room for the fans blowing in and out? 4264268B-4289-435D-A96B-47616F1B73C5.jpeg

    or just let the ac do it’s job lol

    thanks for the help

  3. I'm surprised you are getting so much heat from your LEDS, to consider heating your house

    IMO Time to improve the venting out with that dusty wallet

    perhaps a Dehumidifier would help? imo

    ps I go hps in winter

  4. I live in a house that is old enough to have cold air return vents in each room along with the heating/cooling vents. I run the ductwork from my exhaust fan straight into a cold air return vent. If you have one it may help out.

  5. I have a dehumidifier

    I’m not in a tent- it’s a converted bedroom

    I have around 2200 watt draw in the room

    I’m not trying to heat the house but if I can move that warm air out into the cooler house win win.
     
  6. I've tried getting air to circulate thru a doorway and it's not easy as the air mostly just goes in a circle at the doorway, especially using box fans. Try making a cardboard duct with empty boxes to carry air from a fan in the back of the room out the door and several feet down the hall or into another room. You may need an inline fan. It works in my head but so do all my inventions before I actually try them.
