Hi all, after struggling with building a grow room and wrestling with sealing light leaks, heat, etc. I finally got a Hydrohut Mini.
First off, these things are not "mini" at all. They are fairly large. Secondly ventilation...
While there are many areas for ventilation surrounding the bottom of the hut, I suspect that it wasn't really designed with a "cooltube" in mind. The examples basically show a light suspened with chains, and the duct fan sucking air from the top of the hut (with optional filter attached).
Question is:
What do most find an effective way of cooling this thing. It is about 3.5 X 3.5 X 6.
My setup is a 250w hps and a 340CFM 6in inline ducting fan. Right now I am just cooling the light (no filter/scrubber really needed)
It is basically a passive system with outside air coming in from the bottom vents...through the light, into the ducting fan..and out of the top.
Temps are about 4 degrees above ambient. The Hut is sitting in an unused closet with the door open.![Mr. Green :mrgreen: :mrgreen:](/styles/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
