Lumatek ats pro 310 watt running hot.

[George P.]

Hello and happy new year.
This LED Ats Pro 310 watt raises the temperature in the tent, which is 2.5x 2.5 x 6 feet, from 42f until 44.5f (5.5c -7c) so when I have an ambient home temperature of 68f (20c) in the tent I have 78 - 80.5f, (25.5-27c) with 2 plants.
Although I recently made the transition from HPS to LED and I don't know much, 44.5f (7c) above seems like a lot for LED although the tent is small for this light, normally a 3x3 tent is needed, but most people say that this LED runs very cool.
The exhaust fan is 148 cfm and I also have a carbon filter at 148 cfm, 3 oscillating fans and a 105 cfm intake fan.
If i take a 3x3 tent with exhaust fan 200 cfm or even bigger 265 cfm will i see a drop in temperatures?
Lumatek has not answered me yet and the store tells me that they are normal values but I have my doubts.
So what do you say?
Thank you very much!

That temp is fine. But, can you mount the driver outside of the tent? Are the bottom vents on the tent open and exhausting the heat out the top?

No the driver is not detachable and i have the bottom vents closed because i'm using an inline fan and exhaust at the top.
Thank you for your answer.

Thank you for your answer.

Where’s the fresh air coming in at then? Might not have enough air coming in to keep up

The fresh air is coming from a small window in the kitchen where the tent is very close but i don't use ducting.

Fresh air in through the bottom and hot air out through the top. Tent walls suck in from the exhaust fan?

Yeah but how does it get into the tent if the vents are closed? Maybe I’m missing something but have to have flow air in and out. Yes the fan will suck a little air though the seems and cracks but not enough to keep up with exhaust

Yes they suck, i have a negative pressure possible too much because in a 2.5x 2.5 x 6 feet tent i have an exhaust of 150cfm, but thats ok for plants it just add a lot of pressure in the tent and there is a risk of tearing it.

The tent vents at the same room, i know this is not ideal but i'm growing 4 years now without any significant problems. This little window i have in the kitchen helps bring some fresh air in the tent and i'm also opening the windows in the living room often.
But i will open the bottom vents as you suggest.

If you're bringing in new air from the bottom and exhausting out the top, with enough airflow, you can hook your exhaust fan to an inkbird temperature controller. When it hits your high temp it'll run until it pulls in enough air from the outside to shut it off. But 80 degrees is totally fine as long as your humidity is low in flower
