Will the heat from the lights still be too much for that size room w/o an a/c?

If it is sealed do you have to have fresh air or can it keep using air from the room through the can filter?

If it does stay cool enough and does not need an a/c but it needs fresh air how could I use air from a big open space outside the room?

I do not want to cut 2 6" holes out the wall and spend 3k for an a/c if I don't have to.

Thanks for the help....I am pretty new to this but trying to learn!
hey
A friend I know ran 2 flex- dryer vents into his ceiling to one side of his gables vent giving him outside air, equipt with a small fan one input of fresh air, the other was run thru a charcoil filter and then ejecting the smell outside at the top of the roof.

Putting in that flexable dryer vent, and 2 small fan like you use in the 1000 watts light set ups. You could walk thru and not smell the hundereds of tomatoes at all.

It may help to build a lower ceiling room inside, close it off running your vents thru the ceiling but hidden from sight, unless you have a 100 neighbors around it works pretty good. But run it thru a charcoal filter and you'll get ride of the smells.this adds more cost but gives more peace of mind about your set up.

Remember to cover the vent ends to filter out the small bugs that may find that enterance.

For cooling a room that big, He also has 2 small AC with a digital temp setting to get a perfect temp, those are pretty cheap some less then a 100 bucks.at least were I live.

His rule of thumb is 1-1k light- one AC, 2- lights 2 AC to keep the temp even.

Hope it gives some ideas.
