Window ac in grow tent

[IhatePM]

So I had a dream a week ago that after chop we dragged the tent to the wall with a window and cut a hole for a ac unit. Well I pulled the trigger today, took a dab, didn't even measure b4 i started cutting and I'm happy. Saved 1k+ on the mini split I was going to get for my un insulated detached garage rental . No negative back pressure like if you were to use a portable. The unit was $350. 1500watts

You gunna put some blinds or something up to hide it a bit better? Poly looks pretty bad.

Cool.

Did you install the ac sideways?

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I love it!
Do you have it anchored? Crooks just push them inside and have easy access.
Make sure you secure it so it can't be moved.
A guy on another forum just had it happen to him. He got home and his entire grow was gone but they left the A/C.

That would help cut down radiant heat through the window on the tent wall.

 

[freezeland2]

What size is that tent?

Make sure u tilt it down a bit outside to keep it draining the condensation outside

 

[DankNugz420]

Whoa that is sideways isn't it.. lol can you do that?

I thought like refrigerators they are supposed to be mounted and stored upright, too. Thinking refrigerant doesnt 'move' as it should mounted sideways. And why is it you set it sideways? Cut the hole before you thought about it? "took a dab, didn't even measure b4 i started cutting".
I've also learned to not get blasted before I start 'engineering' any modifications... I'd also reccommend that it isnt blowing directly on the plants by deflecting the cold air down to the floor.

Very cool.

Now u can control VPD much easier!

Looking big AF in there.

That’s a lot of weight, i.e., compressor that is now hanging from it’s mounts instead of resting on them. You’ll be the first to know when it fails, Catastrophically. If your home. Looks dangerous to me.

 

[Oldchucky]

And motor.

While you’re at it you might as Well lay You’re running refrigerator on its side and use it for a table.
