Just a heads up for other farmers.
I took the advice of this forum and hired a professionally trained HVAC tech. Hes actually a 63 year old guy who owns his own HVAC company . he also loves to medicate.
My ideal air had a leak and stopped cooling. He found and fixed the leak at the line set connection. Vacuumed. then weighed in a charge. That was all good. However these house tech guys do this thing where they take the temp of the line set and compare it to their read out temp and if its not a 15-20 degree difference they keep adding more refrigerant. He over filled the system and within an hour or two the manifold feeding the evaporator on the inside unit exploded and leaked a bunch of freon into my grow room.
We found the leak and sweated it closed .
Basically paid the guy 560$ to break my minisplit then come back and fix his mistake which he wouldn't admit to making.
My new Mr slim gets delivered today and once I harvest I will replace the ideal air with this unit.
I'm highly tempted to buy gauges and do my own charge
