does enybody have eny cheap and effective ideas on how i could cool things
down without gowing to extream messures
eny input would be much appreciated thank u

Tin shed is a bad idea in arid climates but if you must a simple window AC unit should be able to push enough cool air into the room to counter it.

Do realize that if you are in an area that does not take kindly to growers, Your shed grow op will stick out like a sore thumb on a thermal reading helo at night.

lol unless his lights are on at night, he wont have to worrie about it, even 18/6 he can have a look ducktape whereever there are leaks.... but when he is 12/12 12 on during the daylight, 12 off during the night time, readings wont know because its going to be hot in there in the day, and they cant pick up pot plants on radar, only the lighting system....

True I was about to update the post after thinking it over.

Also if it is really sweltering in there you might also get a smaller exhaust fan on the other side (preferrably top) to jettison the hot air (cool air will remain in the room while the hot air on top will be shot out)

good idea godkas, the more fans sucking the hot air out the better and the more you have blowing cool air in the better haha

And to further my jackassery have the A/C set up to a thermal control so when your shed gets up to 85 farenheit for instance the A/C unit will kick on and keep the room balanced. This will also save you a bit on your power bill for having to use an AC or two.and a timer to turn it all off during night time hours.

unless you use c02 then he wants them to regulate at 90F

thanx guys salgood we dont have fly byes where i live so no dramas from the 5.0 but i have put 2 more fans in and hey presto its cooled down thanku
for your input
peace

your best bet is to run the lights at night, if your doing a low budget shed then thats the best option
