4 lights really? What is this based on? Dehumidifier will depend on plant count and medium used. You figure 8 pints a plant at least plus outside humidity. Medium plays a big role in this as well. Ac will remove some but I can't keep up. For example new rooms I'm doing will have 12 tons of cooling but will run 2 quest 506's each. These aren't cheap ac units either in reality 15 tons as there are (3)5 ton york air handlers per room.
Based on my numbers. My girls drink 0.4-0.5 liter/hour at their peak. The RO replenish is crazy! See my other post for calculation. You can find dehu capacity for a/c. But going with led, you'll need to keep your temp higher so less AC time so more dehu needed..

As for the space, you can add moving table if you want and be able to give a 2' each side when you work, but you have to think you need space to work. Rdwc system in mind, not soil, too messy, not productive. With that budget in mind, I'll be going rdwc and not loosing time with soil/coco.

Ahah 2x 506, nice! I would love to see those beast in action! I'm power limited so have to go down a bit. Must be pretty hard work to hang on the ceiling! :)

I run soil it keeps up with my hydro ppl. I have 2'to work with I just coat the room so there's no dead space for lighting. I run a 4000gpd ro system it can fill 180 gal tank in less then 20 min of Prue water. My toilet is literally flushing ro water. For ac dehumidification I don't account for it doing much they're limited and the fact that their job is for heating and cooling only I don't give them much. As for the 506's they are monsters I do two for redundancy only if I had to do one it would be the 876. Those are true monsters but the 506 I did for my buddies grow and with the 320 plants in there it went from 85% to 55% in 35 mins.

I thought about it and yeah, crazy 100%. :)
Go ahead, blast me since that it seems it's the only thing you are able to do if someone doesn't think as you do. ;)
It's all good led is a very linear light I don't do dead spots I also hang them right against each other too to get a seamless lighting footprint.
