Hey everyone I know I need an exhaust fan and also to bring in fresh air. Here is what I am working with. I have a grow box I built out of wood covered by plastic. I decided to make the space sealed after having aroma issues from my last batch. The problem is is that it is in a basement, and there is no external exhaust I can really do for a heavy exhaust fan to run out. I could run a hole out of one of the windows down there, but I would be fearful of someone then breaking in since currently I reside in a 'rough' area and the windows are boarded up to prevent such break ins. There is a side door up the stairs that I open during the day to get some fresh air in/ stale air out, but the temperature within the grow space itself will not budge from 90 degrees farenheit which is stalling growth.
As you can see from the pictures I do have fans going. I have a box fan flush with my 2 400 watt HIDs blowing air away, and I have two fans blowing air from below into the space, as to try and see movement, but no matter what the temp won't budge.
Please if you have been in a situation yourself where the "ideal" grow room wasn't feasible could you please tell me any ways I can make-do. I do plan on getting about 7 2 liters producing fermented CO2 next to the plants, but tell me is that worthless because of all the fans that would probably blow the created CO2 right back out?
