Would something like that hold up in a sealed room though? I have no intake/exhaust. Just going to be a 2 ton mini split, dehumidifier and CO2 injection. Plan on growing larger bushes due to plant limitations and having 8.5 foot ceilings. I picture two plants in 30 gallon pots or three plants in twenty gallon pots transpiring quite a bit of moisture during my dark periods.
Thanks for the input. Mostly everyone I have seen that owns one loves it. It’s a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for which is a large capacity, highly capable, durable, and energy efficient dehumidifier built to do work and last.
So here's my thoughts. The quest is dope. No doubt about it. Problem is 2k$ is alot of scratch for a dehumidifier is all I'm saying. Say it will last you 10 years running constantly. Say you buy a 175$ that last you a year to 2 years give or take. You would be saving money in the long run imo. I'd spend more on lights and A.C./mini split than big expensive dehumidifier. I'm a newbie grower so dont get me wrong. But I work in home energy weatherization and HVAC industry.
Let’s compare it to a dryeaz 1200
Hey Iri, Do you mind giving me some more details to replicate this room. I have about the same dimension and is building out sealed room but cant decides on plant count or aisle spacing (17.5 inches thinking). All I know I use 7 gal air pots, ceiling height is 6ft. So very limited. I know I can't do trays, unfortunately. So just trying to get some ideas if u don't mind.
What’s good bro? So my rooms dimensions are 8ft wide and 12 foot long with 8.5 foot ceilings. The door opens close to the middle of the room on the 12 foot side. Looking straight inside the mini split unit is mounted across the room up high near the sealing. To the right I have a 4x8 space sectioned off with two 1000 watt lights running open hood. The dehumidifier will be mounted to the left of the room against the other 8 foot wall and a drainage line will run outside the room into my res in the garage to recycle some of the water being used. CO2 and carbon filter fit in the corner of this wall. This gives me plenty of space to work in the garden and I could even add another light or two if I wanted but it would be pretty packed. We’re putting up drywall today so I will get some pictures here in a few days once she’s ready to roll. Happy to answer anymore questions you have too. Just had an electrician come in yesterday and put in a new sub panel and everything is finally up to code. Huge relief for me.
