heh, you've discovered nature's aircon. Most growers run flowering lights at night just for this reason. I sure do.

Should work great, provided that absent the ability to put the unit through a window or wall, you can put the 'hot' end of the a/c unit in an airmass where the warm air won't bother anything. I've seen small window units put in an attic above an op with flexi ducts, creative duct taping and inline fans used to bring cool air down to the op and return warm, moist air back up to the a/c unit. Another approach I've seen is to run the window unit within the grow room and duct outside airmass air into the 'hot end' and back out again. Allows access to the a/c unit front panel from within the grow room instead of having to go into the attic.
Al B. Fuct Reviewed by Al B. Fuct on . Very Interesting High Temps Solution. So now that summer is here, both my fellow farmer and I have seen our temps go through the roof. We shouldn't be even trying during the summer, but we both thought, wtf, lets try anyway. So our temps shot up to about 35C. We've both got massive fans etc, he has a cooltube, I chopped off the room halfway up with a sheet of polythylene, but we realized that the problem is that if the air going in is warm already, you're screwed. We started philosophizing about different ways to cool things. Rating: 5
