I know minisplits will also dry the air a bit while running . does anyone know how many pints it will pull out of the air a day while running in regular AC mode ?
How many pints per day of will a 30k btu minisplit pull?

On the specs they give you a pints per day but I didnt know if that was in dehumidifier mode or running in ac mode

There is no way to tell how many pints per day of condensate you will actually get being as it is completely dependent on the relative humidity of the air in your space. On a rainy day you will pull more condensate due to there being more water in the air. On a dry summer day you will pull less due to the lower humidity.
What is listed on the manufactures data is more than likely the maximum amount the unit can discharge.

It will pull zero pints when the lights are off and the AC isn't fighting heat. So you will need a dehumidifier anyways.

Cool thank you . it will be ran in a sealed room

How humid is a factor, the more humid the air is the easier it is to pull condensate. Temperature is also a big variable, warmer air is easier to dehumidify. The volume of the room, biomass all are factors.
When my plants are small I have to add humidity to replace what the AC is pulling out. When the plants are large I have to run a dehumidifier, especially when the lights are off.
