Grow Room A/C

[CannabisJohn]

Hey CJ, just wondering with your 6000 btu per 1000 watt light calculation, does that include the ballast in the room or not? And if so how much will that number reduce to if ballasts were outside room? And also what about co2 generation, was that factored in the equation? Using tanks would not increase btu requirements i would think.
Thanks for all the info on this thread, i tried to find the answers reading as much as i can here but 54 pages takes me a while.
Cheers

6000 should take care of all of those items. Leave ballasts out of room but that number would still cover it

Hey CJ, as always thanks for the time answering everyones questions and provided valuable info! When purchasing the Mitsubishi mini's is it better to get cooling only and supplement heat another way to reduce wear and tear on the unit? And are the Seer rating and btu's the only thing to consider when purchasing a Mitsu? I see some units have the same seer and btu rating but vary in price.. I read where Fish asked the same question on about page 20 and you suggested AC Warehouse Outlet.. i was just curious what other parts make the unit fluctuate so much in price?

Shouldn't vary that much if model numbers are same. If u need heat buy heat pumps.

I have my tent in my garage and there is no air conditioning. I live in Texas and it can get quite hot. My light is air cooled. Any ideas on keeping temps down inside tent?
Peace...bongwater

Hello John. I'm new to the site and forms in general. I seen this thread and had a question or two.
I'm well over do for AC:
Have a 20'x13' room.
12 x 600's ( ballist in room )
CO2 generator (6 burners on)
Couple blowers
Half dozen fans
Big dehumidifier

-my plan is to get a 60k BTU 5 zone, 12k BTU each zone w/ heat pump:
1 x veg room
4 x flower room
Does this sound like it is a sound decision?

Thanks SnW.

You may not have heat. I need the model number of inside and outside unit to check.

Mini split? If so I haven't heard of one 60k. Biggest outdoor unit I have seen is 48k. How much lights in veg? I need both rooms parameters

My bad. Just saw one on a website. Never heard of the brand before.

It is a heat pump. My guess is you have it in the wrong mode. Look at remote and change mode to heat.

Yeah but if I put it in heat how will it cool the room at night ... It seems the auto feature is at 70• but that will raise my room temps to 93 wth lights on

Sorry forgot.
Veg is 14 x 14
60 x 4ft T5's
4 x fans
Blower

And I think Toshiba makes a 60 ton model but idk if its a good brand? Or what brands are good. I'm hoping to not have multiple AC units. Thanks.

I find it rather strange that I can't seem to find mitsubishi units online that ship from somewhere closer than Florida. WTH? I live in WA state and can't seem to find a local warehouse.I would think there should be plenty on the west coast. Anyone?
