4000watt for 8x8?

im 100% sure. You’re dehumidifier you have now won’t do Jack squat when that room is full of foliage, hence needing a bigger one. The bigger one will put out a lot of heat , hence the bigger ac you’ll need. 4400w will also put out a lot of heat, hence the bigger ac needed.

Ah cool makes sense. So about the dehumidifier how many litres extraction should I get?

Alright sorry I understand I didnt see your response when I made this comment. I now understand
Ok for starters is this a 100sqft room or 64sqft tent? If it's a tent don't use co2 unless you plan on injecting the entire room and venting it out at night. 2. How many plants you want to run and what size pots? For 4000 watts you'll need a minimum of 15k again are you trying to cool a tent or 100sqft room? If you're getting a dehumidifier that add a good chuck of heat to that area. Mine all run 2700 watts each and I have 9 but I also have 15 tons of ac per room.
I skimmed over the jist of this thread and I think I covered most small ticket items so many things to figure but in growing you can base cooling and dehumidifiers based on sqft.

Hey! Thanks for taking the time. The place the tent will be inside is 100 sqft which is where I will mount the AC and the tent is 64sq ft. I already have a 12 bucket rdwc system but I think I'll do coco this time so maybe 24 plants or is that greedy? I thought by cooling the room I'll be cooling the tent because I can't attach to the AC to the tent. I'll be keeping the demuidifier inside the tent. My current device extraction limit is 32L/day.

And I was only thinking CO2 as I'm upping the wattage per sqft more than normal. I thought by doing that I need to support the plant with additional co2 because just bumping up the light is useless right? I can get 4x600w for that and that will give me the required 40w/sqft coverage. Can I use these exhale 365 bags then?

I sort of skimmed by the rest of it, but have you set up your electric to handle all of this-you will need plenty of circuits and enough room in the circuit box for all of them, you might even need a new box or to run a sub panel or something, every situation is different? The lights, mini-split, and dehumidifier all use a lot of juice. BK is 100% right about the BTUs and heat from the dehumidifier. If it's an old building, you're going to want to get the wiring checked by an actual electrician. If it's older wiring, you don't want to push it, remember even with modern wiring you don't want to go past 80% of the circuit's max load, so with a 15 amp circuit, don't plug in more than 12 amp's worth of equipment. How old is the building? I remember one guy asking similar questions and he had the ancient paper wrapped wiring, he is probably reading this thread from heaven right now. Lastly, those CO2 mushroom bags are utter crap.

Yes this is the first thing that I addressed when the grow place was fixed. Getting an electrical makeover guys it's not as bad as you think but I understand all of these. It's just the cooling and dehumidification I'm not familiar with for this scale cause I have only been running a 480w in a 4x4 till now with pretty good results. Thank you

The lights will eat up a 20a breaker a dehumidifier to do that many plants will use about 10 or more at 120v ac at least 20a on its own. Exhale bags are worthless also. You may want to rethink this hard and long.

I'd like to see what you did with 480 watts

Sounds good. Just remember, a big part of why people run sealed grow rooms, apart from the benefits of co2, is that it's easier to maintain a stable temperature year round than if you vent the room. It adds a lot to the cost, but it can mean the difference between success and failure in an outbuilding.

Co2 is only worth a shit if every other aspect of the grow is dialed in perfect and your able to control everything properly.

One of 8 about to get sealed next week finally..

You want to wait on using co2 man get you growing skills down. Bud are very under developed on that plant for the stage it's at and still has time to go.....is that tin foil??
Yes it's a reflective sheet not mylar and the plant is not yet done. It still has days to go. My fami
I'm doubting highly you pulled 400+ grams off that little guy there. Maybe 40 grams dried lmao. You don't have to lie to kick it man.
i can see you have a fancy ass setup brother. Much respect but I should remind you that you're just growing a plant not saving humanity from climate change. And that plants is an auto and it definitely didn't yield 400g by itself. I run 6 plants in a 4x4. This is the pic I had to share with a smart ass like you
