hvac advice on btu's for room

[GreenGalaxyFarm]

The more dialed in you want your parameters the costly the build out becomes. just saw the first 10 seconds of the video you posted and that is cool but you are going to have to consider your budget. Just the HVAC in the start of the video is about 5 times the cost of a small mini split. That is where mechanical gets expense with VAV's and air handling units. So while gettogro might have had some stuff that was not perfect it comes down to what someone can afford.

perfectly understood and agree with that. the situation is that of i'm going to be spending more than i should i have enlighten the wife regarding this as well.

So about 48000 BTU's

you were correct as per engineering study i just observed! thanks for the good info
from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6WuLQZsMPc precisely minute 11 and later at 12min55s, although they are referring to growing 100 plants, double what i could handle. everyone is recommending co2 levels of 1200ppm

I’m running 3800 led watts in a 180 square foot space in a shipping container with 1.5 inch styrofoam board insulation through the Arizona summer. A 24000 btu mini split does the job

Thanks yes it seems only half my ac needs will be met, with the current unit. would it be more optimal to run them dual on the same wall or at opposite ends?

Maybe mounted on opposite sides at opposite ends of the wall or close to it. Is your room more square or rectangular?

rectangular

I think I’d go with opposite sides opposite ends, try to get the most air flow through the room.
