Please need advice .. I’ve placed the ac in my 2x4, as my 480 watt gets hot in there ..humidity raises like crazy and it jumps .. like 75-95% when ac blust ,. Question is ..Will it make sense to spend money again on 12 inch ducting to put the ac outside of the tent and vent it throw the bottom ? I’ve tried to do so and had a lot of condensation .. confused what to do and why it happens .. please help

forgot to mention ac 12 000 btu lg got the guy for 150.. used one .

Sounds f'ed up. Is that a single hose portable? How big is the room your tent is in? If not too big you should be cooling the room and venting the AC and the tent to the outdoors.

I'm hoping to scrounge up the money to buy a dual-hose portable so I can seal up my grow area downstairs and use CO2. Would love to find a good used one for what you got yours for. The one I want is around $700 new.

How is venting set up for the AC and tent now? I just got a 2x4x5'h tent 3 weeks ago and am already looking for a way to use my tower fan in there as it takes up a lot of floor space and it's a lot smaller than your AC unit.

About the water your AC takes out of the air. Does it go into a tank you have to empty or just a pan that evaporates it back into the air?

Sorry for all the questions but need all the data to help you figure this out.

:peace:

get rid of ac, 6-8 inch extraction/filter,dehumidifier - ink bird temp and humidity controls-- if you can go passive intake or pump air in when extraction fan kicks in- just my view -simple /easy, ac can be a real headache
