I just picked up an Ideal Air 12000 btu portable AC as a supplemental AC for my 6k sealed room with Co2.
I already have an Aura 3 ton mini split in there but it can't handle the room with open hoods, dehumidifiers & all the humidity the plants cause in week 3-4 of flower.
My 20lbs co2 tank usually lasts about 2 weeks give or take. So as soon as I set up the portable AC, my Co2 tank ran dry (lasted 3 days). The portable ac is sucking the air out of my sealed room and wasting all my Co2.
I figured I could try to seal up the leaks in the ac and see if I can get it to leak less or not at all.
I tried blowing smoke near the unit to see where the smoke would get sucked in and find the leak that way but the whole unit disrupts air way too much to see where its going.
Before I open up the unit and start looking for potential leaks, I wanted to ask you wonderful people.
If you have any experience with this stuff please share your knowledge.
Thanks!
