Just subscribed to this thread - I'm setting up something very near to what you are doing. I'm very interested in ways to seal a room, CO2 seems the obvious choice if you want to get the best out of your plants. This is the first time I've seen one of those a/c units and it's really opened up new possibilities for me, it's a very powerful tool. Just a question: Where do you vent the exhaust from the a/c unit? Outside the flower room into the surrounding room/attic? Or into the outdoors out of the house? I ask b/c well, you know, heat signature/security and all that - plus I'm trying to figure the logistics of closed room cooling, precisely, where's the best place, most secure, most efficient to put the heat the various cooling units generate & the heat they're removing.
How's your scent control? That is one powerful unit you got there. Any scent escape at all? How's the smell in the flower room itself? I'm thinking of using a can100 w/a 600 cfm fan ducted outside the flower room which will also push the air through a cooling unit and back into the room again in a short little duct loop. I got an 8' X 8' X 8' space. (I just have to admire your construction of that room - it's very slick & clean, I like that) Scent is a real issue for me.
Such a beautiful crop you got there (I am very interested in how you're going to manage those trees as I've only seen SOG style grows). I too am a fellow traveler: I'm looking for medical patients so they can cut their med intake (eliminate it in some cases) and/or get some peace/rest without fear they're getting some nasty adulterated junk from some shady guy who's only in it for the $ and doesn't care what he puts out. I'm all about providing good, healthy medical quality, well, medicine. I also have a selfish interest - growing plants is a beautiful, highly enjoyable art & science that I very much enjoy and when you add to that the ability of helping other people - it is a wonderful feeling - I'd be pleased to break even, but anyone who needs but can't afford will receive. Like you, I don't need the $, I'm thinking of just allowing donations, pay what they want to/can - a lot of people won't take a straight up gift I find. It's amazing finding guys like you, and Stinkbud and so many kind others who are on this mission - it's been a real affirmation of the selflessness mankind is capable of and I'm very happy & grateful that you're logging your experience so we can learn from you - like I said to Stinkbud, by doing that you are planting so many seeds - others, many that you'll never even know about, who learned from you and took up your mission - you're doing more than you think. Thank you.
