So after getting my first full on grow(outdoor) under my belt, I will now transfer my operations to an indoor set up and I have a few questions.
First my room discription :
I am building a 10ft X 8ft with 8ft ceilings. 2x4 framing, 1/2inch styrofoam insulation(white) all held in place with plywood. room lined with black/white 6ml plastic white side up.
Light will consist of 3x1k digi ballasts horti dual arc bulbs hangin vertical (no hoods)
A/C 15k btu window unit
growing hempy, 50/50 chow mix (hydroton / cana coco)
Venting with 6 0r 8 inch inlines(not sure what size yet, havent sat down and done the math, volume of air cleared every 5 minutes right?)
I will later add a forth 1k light, and dehuie/huie. hopefully that is enough info on my space to ask the following questions;
1) A/C unit, my walls will be 8ft high and i understand that heat rises, how high/low should i install my window unit?I was thinkin 4-6ft from the floor but im not sure if it should be above canopy to counter the heat or at canopy to stablize plants.
2) electrical, I will be tapping into an existing 240, 30 amp dual pull breaker that currently runs my pool, I was planning to switch out the breaker to a minidual 30amp with the added 2 additional 30 amps. lights will be run of a 4 light controller 240 in 30 amp fuse(hope i explained that right, electrician, i am not) I will be running my lights opposite my pool pump i.e. pool pump runs 10am to 4pm lights come on at 430pm. Will this be enough for the load i want to run (all above goodies included)?
I hope i didnt imberrass myself tryin to explain the electrical ish, and and all suggestions would be greatly appriciated. I will either update thread with pictures or start a new grow diary when the room is ready to rock in a couple weeks. thanks in advance guys!
