Only thought I had was that your grow room probably looks a hell of a lot cooler than mine does.
Does not sound like you sized your ac correctly. Rule of thumb for bare bulbs aka adjust a wings are 6k per light. So thats 18k btu there. Then for the air cooled lights the rule of thumb is 4k per light so you have 24k there. Thats over 40k btu's needed in just lights. Not to mention if you have anything else in the room generating heat.
yes, even 12k window unit would cool that nicely.
How many lights are you doing? I have a vent hooked up to my duct going outside so it sucks from outside, goes across 3 lights getting sucked by a 12 inch inline. Then gets blown across the next 3 being pushed by an 8 inch inline. I was going to try to Y off and suck across from both sides so each row of 3 gets colder air. The 3 lights down the middle are the wings . I'm rocking 14 fans total. Room is 18x20. Air temp outside is about 70s at night lately. Do you think the AC guy fucked up? I can have a guy from aura come out and help I just don't want to waste the extra 300 if it is useless. The garage it is sitting in is hot but my box is insulated extremely well. Please help me figure this out lol it's killing me
did u buy the aura 3 ton? i don't really understand your air cooling system. however if your air cooled properly a 3 ton is great. i looked into the aura systems, the people that had them on display wouldn't even sell it to anybody. same as the ideal air. did the aura cost 3?
yes it should do that. so like for mine i have to keep the thermostat at 73 to maintain 77-80 depending on the outside temp. is your set as low as it can go?
snaps i have a question for you. what do u know about the water that these spit systems produce. i mean man thats a lot of water. my wife uses it to water the garden and its doing great, but how safe or not safe is it to use on cannabis plants?
bro you and me both, my air conditioner is in the window and my grow tent is ghetto rigged as fuck, but shit it works for me right fuck em xDOnly thought I had was that your grow room probably looks a hell of a lot cooler than mine does.
you guys are killing me...we don't even have AC for our Humans lmfao...ya'll got like b/a ac units exclusively for your pot plants...envy is 2 weak of a word. idolize?
rockin' the window unit tht just cools my living room
I've used a good deal of condensate however I would note there is a significant slime mold potential here so if running sterile res i suggest 0.5 ml/gal of bleach. Otherwise maintain a healthy trichoderma population for sure.
ive got 2x 13000 btu single tube standalone a.c. at the lowest setting and the lights vented and still have a time getting it under 80 eazily.they are vented under the room tho in a crawl space,with air exhausted.heat rises so its very inefficient..75 degrees will happen,but its alot of wasted electricity..the split ac will give me more floor space for plants,no more standalones or dehumidifiers,plus efficient as hell..i just wanted to make sure 18k would do the trick..was looking at 24k to be sure..think thats over kill..
I'm thinking the 18k split would be great for your set up. fuck you would be able to throw 2 more lamps in there if u wanted. think u said 11x11. 18k splits r priced really well too.
