Temp change from lights?
I will be running 4-1000w hps/mh lamps and want to know if there is a formula to determine how much radiant heating they would provide for 260sq/ft. with 8th ceilings. I am considering running a sealed room with an automatic climate controller. That way I can supplement the atmosphere with a co2 generator. My grow room is about 65 degrees. I'm thinking that I could use vent fans connected to the temp. function on my controller to cool the lights/room when it gets too warm. Venting would pull air from the outside through the ducting and straight out. Would this approach work? This will be my first grow however I am confident with my experience growing other "things" along with my chemistry degree that I will achieve some degree of success. I will be using an ebb&flow bucket type system starting with 36 plants and eventually expanding to 60. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My other concern is that the exterior air in the dead of winter might damage the bulbs, can this pose a problem? Thanks!
