10,000 will not do that. Also make sure it is a true 10,000. Some of the portables advertise BS. 2500 per light is about the max

Rough guess about 11k but. And portables are shit so yeah probably a 12k but min and thats only for the lights. If you have a dehuey ot other equipment your gonna need more. Plus how well the room is insulated and sealed.

Mini split or at least window shaker. But you really need to take everything into account.

I'm no expert but at about 2.6 ppf per watt sitting about 100 lumens per watt... 275 ish BTU per 100w. 650 watts x 6 3900 watts.

39x275= 10,725 BTU.

I'm no expert so take that with a grain of salt.

But yeah those portables are garbage like @Anthem said.

I would trust his advice.

This is figuring in about a 70/110 pint dehumidifier. You will have to add a dehumidifier into the equation. 2500 per light is 100 percent solid. If I was going to set up a room like that I would use 1.5 tons of AC. 1 ton is 12,000 BTU's. The problem with figuring everything to the exact amount required has to do with the amount of time you would like the equipment to last. If you want to run the AC balls to the walls do not plan on long life. You want to allow the equipment to work but not running 100 percent for 18 or 12 hours and expect to see a 5 year life expectancy.
