    My Room is rather new and now that some hot weather has come around the room reached 106 F. I have a 250mm fan going in and a 250mm Fan sucking out.
    To get the heat down should i use another another two fans or should i use a air conditioner...

    A 2 1/2 HP Air conditioner is cheaper than buying more fans and filter. But i just dont know if it will keep the heat down...

    But iam thinking at least it will look after it in winter for me aswell.

    Becuase in Winter with all the Fan,s going i had to put a heater in the room becuase it was getting too cold.

    So Fans or Air Cond...

    Any thoughts would be great...

    More powerful intake and exhaust fans are cheaper than A/C.
    Marijuana requires fresh air, the more the better.

    I agree that more air is better for plants but i seemed to think i had enough air with a 250mm fan ducted in and out.?

    And 2 x Commercial Fans with ducting and Carbon Filter isnt cheaper than a AC unit well here anyway..

    Get the fans now and like you said, youl be fine threw the winter. By the time you gotta deal with heat issues youl be able to go out and getcherself an ac unit. They got some sweet li'l portable ones thatl prolly work good for ya.

    You don't need commercial fans.
    Calculate your growspace cubic feet (l x w x height). Fans are rated (in the U.S. at least) in cfm (cubic feet per minute). Get one that equals or exceeds your growspace cubic feet.
