Room cooling ideas? Umbrella style hood

[furrysparkle]

I'm very interested in using this umbrella style hood, however I'm not sure how to keep my room cool since the hood isn't air cooled?

Also this is 600w MH HPS DWC setup using a full room not a tent...

No Title

The room...

I guess that is going to depend upon the room size and if you could open that window? Unless you need stealth tactics, I would just use a fan blowing on the plants and adjust the window????

The window is a no go, and I figured just fans would work since I'm using a whole room.

Hey Furry- I have a 600w HPS MH in a tent in my office which is about 20x24. I also have plenty of air through the hood and out the window through the setup on GWE site. Also forced air conditioning so temp is well controlled and I'm running a dehumidifier about 50% of the time. I keep the house at 73... I still have to keep an eye on it or it'll get to 85 or more with the HPS. The MH isn't as hot it seems. I'd pass on the umbrella IMO.... Peace!

Does anyone use a portable AC unit or an evaporative cooler, and where/price you got it? Any side effects?
