stealth a/c applications for garage grow in a rented house

[joeyo720]

hi farmers i was wondering if you all had any suggestions.. can i put a mini split condenser unit in an attic? or could i use a wall/window ac in a built room inside the garage? pleae tell me your thoughts

Mini split condenser you could put in attic(never seen anyone dumb enough to do it), but would build up extra heat from the evap coil.Also requires 220volt. Window ,wall AC should be on an exterior wall.Again evap coil produces heat which is made to be discharged outside.

You can run wall units in sealed boxes and have an intake and exhaust (btw never buy a portable - junk). You can't get away with having some type of outside air exchange with any AC unit for the evap. Even in the water cooled options they still need a rad outside.

Built a sealed room in my basement with total control over environment. Not cheap to do but keeps everything odor free and you never know it standing next to it. I did it in a small room that I can keep the door closed.

Portable residential unit, get the the big one. Duct it into the attic.
