    Question Temps vs area ?

    Got a question for ....
    Using a 600w light with 5" rvk's in which would temps be lower 1x1x2 or 1.5x1.5x2

    My thoughts are in a 1m tent you would change the air more times but the light would heat the area quicker and with the 1.5m the opposite. My head hurts Help !!

    Ive very little grow room experience but like a bit of maths

    The smaller tent is 2 cubic meters
    The larger 4.5 cubic meters

    Ruk 125A1 shifts 220 cubic meters per hours at best

    It will empty the smaller tent every 32 seconds
    It will empty the larger every 74 seconds

    You're right to bear in mind the smaller tent will concentrate the heat more so it wont be quite that quick but for keeping everything constant the smaller tent allow hot air to be pulled more frequently.

    But in an experienced grower might say otherwise

    In a 1m you wouldnt have the extraction running 100% with a 5in. Would suck your tent inside out. I have a 5in ruck and a 1.5m tent, I ran the same fan in a 1m x 1m that the coppers stole of me , I find things much more stable and manageable in my 1.5. I use a 600 as well when i can.

    bigger space takes longer to heat since it's 2.88m3 vs 4.5m3,
    i went from a 1.2x1.2x2 into a 1.5x1.5x2 the larger tent is definitely more heat/humidity stable,

    I've got a 1.5m now but Needing to down size, what I was trying to work out was if A 1m tent would run with one of my 600's and 5" +5" out. would the fans cope or would they be running flat out

    would run more than fine dizzydave, you could run it at 50% and get 77.5 changes per hour,
    so that space wouldn't even get one minute to warm before the total volume is swapped out,

    As I said ive run a 1m x m with a 5inch just fine apart from a little too much neg pressure sucking the tent in. If i can do it with the ambient temps i deal with im sure you can. Are you UK.
