Been looking around and haven't found the answer to this yet.

Do chillers have a significant cooling effect on the air in your enclosed grow space as well? I know they significantly bring down the tempature of the nutrient solution; but does that also significantly bring down the overall tempature inside your grow?

I use a hydrohut deluxe grow tent, so the cubic footage of the grow area is around 224 cubic ft . I am running 2x600w digital hps and 7x125 cflo (all of the lights, including the fluroescents, are air cooled), so there is a significant amount of heat being generated even though everything is air cooled and air conditioned. I plan on using either a 1/4 or 1/10 hp chiller.


I would imagine that if the nutrient solution was 30 degrees cooler, that would bring down overall daytime cycle air tempature by 10 degrees or so (especially since the night cycle would get extra chill as a result)... any holes in my thinking so far? Any insight is appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
