I'm attempting to make a sealed grow that is totally controlled for the least amount of money. To me it seems cheaper and more yielding to do it this way than to waste time and money on timers/fans/ducting/carbon filters/contollers/ect. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong here but I think after 4 weeks of reading posts on this and other VALUABLE FORUMS it can be done for what I feel is very cheap...Also note I'm running air cooled hoods which I didn't factor in to the environmental control cost of <$1000. My room is 5' x 10' X 8' high.

During the AUTO mode, the A/C unit operates at heating mode when the room temperature is below 68 F degree. It operates at dehumidifying mode when the room temperature is between 68 o F to 80 o F degree. It operates at cooling mode when the room temperature is above 80 degree.
Even more bad-ass is there is a small nipple on the dehumid tank that you could run a small hose straight back in to your hydro res tank! how slick is this? Am I missing something or is this all LEGIT?
