Hi,
my setup for a personal medical setup is a 4x4x7 grow tent in the bedroom.
I have a 4x4 flood and drain table, Vortex 440CFM fan sucking through an air cooled hood and scrubber to outside the house.
I have 2 6 inch passive vents into the tent from the bedroom.
I have left the vents passive to allow the tent to always be in negative pressure, leaks in pressure will therefore always be into the tent mitigating any leaked smells into the room.
I have a 1000watt digital ballast switchable from 600 watts up and 1000 watt lamps.
Even at 600 watt settings I am getting temperatures up into the mid nineties on test runs.
Installing a portable aircon is not that easy as they are big items and also expensive.

I have read that 5000 lumens per sq ft is an ideal setup so CFL lighting could be an option for temp control but I would need a huge amount of them.

Any ideas on this?
