Sealed Room

Sweet!!!! I run a 10' x 10' sealed room with 2000W and co2. I still use air cooled hoods though because I use the central AC to keep the room cool.. Since I run my lights at night the room will get hot because the weather is a lot cooler at night and the AC doesnt run as much but with a 675 CFM fan pulling air from another room the highest my temps get are 88-89 thats why I use the co2... Nice set up though man.. I love being in a sealed room helps reduce odors too!

Gotta love the odorless characteristics, I have the sentinel CO2 monitor dangling somewhere in that photo.

My AC is a heavy weight so I can manage high 70's low 80's w/ open bulb.
I am excited for the winter months, whenever they decide to arrive of course..

I have always run air cooled hoods but made the switch to be 100% sealed...
No CO2 will be getting pushed/sucked out of this setup.
A-A-W also produces one of the largest footprints on the market, a very important deciding factor for my objective.

4k right now w/ some supplemental (not pictured), might blow it out more and go 6 down the road.

SUBD UP WHAT STRAINS ARE YOU GONNA BE RUNNING??
your room looks hella clean, makes me look barbaric with a dirt/gravel growroom floor. +rep your a/c looks though small man but it may just be cause its far away in the picture how many btu's is it??, i have a 5k btu window unit like that not used atm, but also a 8k btu portable ac thats running 24/7

Show that to dispensary hopefuls. That's the way medicinal marijuana is really grown.
I doubt they would comprehend esp. the first time rodeo riders...
AZDHS should have a standard for cultivation facility cleanliness, if patients/caregivers are doing this so can dispensaries.

I will throw some up imgs/list when it is full
This unit is 18k btu..

Doesn't that AC push air into the room from the outside? Or does it recirculate? I am gonna use a couple of those same size and type and I am wondering if they are pressure neutral. I was under the impression that only a mini split is truly pressure neutral. I may he mistaken what have you found?

window a/c are designed to only exchange air from the room and cool it through the front grill... the part sticking out the back is the compressor which is cooled by outside air only

if your going sealed your only real choices are a window or a split

I would love to run a split, they are the best system but it requires more initial setup and a HVAC pro. If you run a window unit, make sure to test it thoroughly for light leaks/light transmission. Theoretically there never should be a leak in a window unit but some of the inners tend to glow slightly when hit by our intense ass sun. Not a tough fix but def something to be aware of.

The White and Motorbreath are going to get flipped first.

Yeah winged refelctors are the best if you have a AC in a sealed room that can handle that shit..

I hardly ever have to turn my heat on in the winter and if I have to I just skip it and wear a sweater indoors. Here in AZ the coldest my house gets is in the 60's.

I get away with the central AC but Im sure I lose some co2, just not sure.. How long is a 20 lb tank lasting you?

If you want to use the heat from your grow to heat your house, duct your exhaust from your room or lights (up high) back into your living area, I know some growers that do this in colder places...
