Reaching the back of the tent with water?

OlderNOTwiser got me thinking to try something....how much air is moving thru the tent at the lowest speed of the t-6? I shut it down trying to measure the increase in temps from a 315LEC over the course of 2 hours. It started at 61 F inside the tent. For any one of 50 reasons, I forgot all about it until 10 hours later when I unzipped the door to find it was 91 degrees F and humid and wow, you could really feel the difference. So just by the physics alone, the venting of the exhaust into the room is actually heating it. Not a considerable amount though as that room only measures 62-63 at this time of year.
 
During our week long cold snap ( -35fuckingcold ) I vented my tent back into my grow space 360 sqft insulated shed (only R-14 insulation walls; R-44 ceiling). I noticed over the week that my lights-out temps and Rh didn’t change much from the lights on times. The shed stayed a balmy 15C with 68% Rh. Pumping all the humidity into the room wasn’t the best, but I needed to save/recycle the heat.
Plus I had a 1500w heater running 24/7

I’m working on a new project.... a dihydrogen monoxide scrubber with thermal effluence... for the next garden.

WTF is that? Here’s what I saw


Dihydrogen monoxide: is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain. contributes to the " greenhouse effect ". may cause severe burns. contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape. accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals. may cause electrical failures ...
 
Need to finish my coffee for this discussion. Wait a minute! How do I do that without this nefarious chemical? What do they call it when it is very cold? Oh, yea, I remember. (but not tellin' just yet.)

Let us all have some social intercourse on this one, eh?
 
Still working this issue and I'm nearly there. I grabbed a camping water supply jug, vinyl tubing and a hose adapter. The hose adapter is 3/4" I.D. and slips snugly over the plastic spigot. The tubing of course goes on the barbed end. The spigot gives me some control. Sitting on a small riser gets gravity to do its thing. I tried and failed yesterday (had to water by hand) due to extreme memory in the tubing. So it has been weighted at both ends over a soil pipe since last evening trying to get it to give it up. I'll finish it up later today and give it a test run.
