I like soleus 14200 btu ac with 12,000 btu heater it has a duel motor I think I paid around 500 for it keeps my 6- 1000w room nice and cool during the summer months.
Xceptional, How big a room and how many light's you cooling?
I have a LG 9000btu portable cooling a 9x9x7 room with 2k and ballasts in the room. It keeps light on temp's 74 degrees.
This is below grade which does help as well. I also don't have to worry about smell issues.
Portable ac are garbage.. mine only worked one summer then was toast.. didnt cool worht a shit either.. total waste of money.. Regular window unit.. box and duct and inline fan is definatly wher its at..
All portable A/C's let the smell escape.
I am a HVAC tech so I am going to throw my 2 cents in here. The 3 biggest reasons why everyone keeps saying that portables are not good are:
1) Electrical usage. They are generally less efficient then all other options.
2) They suck at distributing the air because they only have 1 or 2 air distribution tubes.
3) They let the smell out.
If you have NO other options and ur room is small then get a portable but be prepared to replace it next grow because u most likely will not like it.
in the paper last week a retard sufficated himself...i'm just saying
My landlord said.. do what I want in the garage but don't put one effin hole inside the house.
So, I got a soleus 12000 btu for the moms. I am running one light on a rail. 2 oscillators.I got the one with two hoses. I like it. It isn't working hard and its quiet. Temps stay within 4 degrees and it is big enough to control humidity.
The down side is that it stinks outside the window a little. I am in the country so it doesn't matter.
I run a big mini in the other room. This seemed like and easy answer for the mom room.
I saw someone post that portables steal all the CO2.... I thought that one of these hoses was SUPPLYING cooled fresh air. Which is correct? Shouldn't the CO2 be at a little less that atmoshperic depending on what the plants use?
so if he builds the box around a window unit what cfm should one exhaust with ? do you make the box around the unit air tight ? if not wouldt you be exhausting the room/smell threw the cracks ? or just use low cfm like 172 vortex .. id assume the box is 2 Cu feet
Single hose or dual?I like soleus 14200 btu ac with 12,000 btu heater it has a duel motor I think I paid around 500 for it keeps my 6- 1000w room nice and cool during the summer months.
