What size mini split to cool 4 gavidas ?

[MrStickyScissors]

yeah, If I need two 36,000 btu ac and 3 750 watt dehumidifiers thats as many watts as the lights to run it, I think I would be better off just running fresh air and pulling my 1and a half to 1 and 3/4.

 

[a mongo frog]

one is only enough to cool one room without lights? how do you figure when its 65 degrees outside?

He's right bro..... I know a guy with 12 of them with a 4 ton. He can only turn his gavitas up to 600-750 or something.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

I mean fuck, I live in a a really hot part of CA and my central heat and air cools down my house just fine with 108 degree weather. I have grown bud over m any of summers with just my central heat and air. how many btu is a regular house central heat and air?

how do you figure 1 is only enough to cool a room with no lights on? when its 65 outside for like 7 months?

It said right on the ad for it. Cools 1800 sq ft. Your room is probably more than that, so your gonna need one ac just to cool the room and one to cool the lights too.

3 humidifiers see thats where the sealed room plan goes to shit. each dehumidifer runs 750 watts plus the 3,000 watt mini split god damn

Gives you 100 percent control though. That's what your paying for.

we are planning on having it set up tax time February. it's me and a partner. so we would have around 20k to cover it. but fuck to invest that much pulling 3 lb a light would be the only way it is worth it cause now I can pull 1 and 3/4 pound a light with no co2 and not running all those dehumidfiers

Even if you pull 2 a light, you'll have your investment back in 2-3 harvest.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

I guess if it means that much to people to pull and extra pound a light and spend like 10 grand more in bills.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

I can pull almost 2 a light without all that. and the room is 18 foot by 18 foot, my whole house is only 1500 scf. thats like 500 scf or less

Maybe one harvest now a days. Its like where did everyone go around here!!!!!!!

 

[MrStickyScissors]

the room is 324 scf

I would make 57000 off the first harvest

 

[MrStickyScissors]

or I could just spend wayyyyy less and just run a 14 inch exhaust fan to keep air circulation waste some electric on the ac but not have to run 3 humidifiers and still pull 2 per light. I guess I'm missing something here

 

[Carolina Dream'n]

My bad I did cubic feet. Stoner moment.

Personally I'd put 2 in their of your gonna be running 9 lights. Your gonna have hotspots in that big room with only one.

Because your gonna be using the same amount if not more electricity your way. Trust me. My buddy runs half the lights of me, he is fresh air with ac, I'm sealed room. His bill is the exact same as mine. His ac runs 24/7 because he's sucking all of it right out.

Do it which ever way you please, but know the people settin up huge operations are not pulling fresh air from what I've seen. It's always sealed.

I get what your saying and I do agree with sealing the room. I think here in central cali the humidity wont be that much of an issue. I'm going to get a 3,000 dollar mini split 36000 btu and see how that does. maybe a 72 pint dehumidifier to sup. for the mini split. that's what a friend of mine is running here and he gets away with it. But even If I had to run 2 mini splits if there not running all the time then yea, your right probably the way to go. guess theres nothing to it but to do it

The mini splits have inverters that allow them to run only as much as it needs right then. It's not like it's running 24/7 at full wattage. More like 25% lights off 75% lights on.

The dehunidifers will only run during lights off for the most part. And it's also not running constantly. It will kick on and off, maybe running 4-6 hours total a day.

Your location has nothing to do with humidity in a sealed room. The outside has no impact on the inside.

All sealed rooms get humid as fuck during lights off because the plants are transpiring.

Do your a/c's allow you to control day and night times? My Mr slim does not. I actually have to turn that mother fucker back up as soon as lights go off.

I got an external thermostat for all of mine. It doesn't do "day and night" per say but you set the times and temperatures you want. So yea I have control of day an night temps, it just isn't controlled bya light solenoid censor.

what mini split would you recomend to buy? one that would controll the day and night times like you mentioned
