I have x4 750DE Gavitas in flower room, 12x9ft with 10ft ceilings. My 24k mini split has no trouble keeping steady at mid 70's when its 95F outside, although my shed has good tree shading. I run 2am-2pm, sealed.
The bulbs run hot but the ballasts are just warm. My domestic dehu in veg puts out more heat on the floor than these ballasts.
I have cobs +T5's in veg - 9x9ft - and the 12k mini split in there cycles a little, temps swing 3-6F if its hot, but I think my door could be better insulated and stop exterior temps affecting the environment so much. AC in there is fine, does the job.
Can't really speak for your setup but since we have similar kit and regional weather, I figured I would chime in.
If poss, you might want to consider running temp tests in your rooms on a typical weather day. Add kit one piece at a time and record temps before you throw down on your AC. Sounds like the kind of sizable setup where such an approach would be useful.

I do run big fans they move about 5000 cfm but the real test will be in summer which is just around the corner. I live in Australia so it can get very fucking hot here. I am only doing the see if can be done. So far so good

Where do u have your sensor placed or are you venting? I'm running several gavita 1000's with a 10' ceiling and I need a/c to keep my canopy at 82(running co2, want it at that temp)

Drop it to 71 with 35% humidity and you'll be happier I guarantee it

I'm telling ya if you can 71° with 35% rh and 1300ppm co2 and your bud will be better than you've ever seen before I do this for a living lol

Where? Buried 20' Down?
so u have your temp sensor in the middle of the room at canopy height in a sealed room running de gavita 1000w lamps with no ac and all ur running is fans and your temp is 71 degrees Fahrenheit?

kind of pointless running co2 then? you must be getting great results just at that temp and rh, can't be from the co2....
