Is there a rough formul for BTU required vs wattage of all items in the grow room?
Also, when using a portable ac, do you place in center of room, or doesn’t matter can be in corner closest to window for venting?

thanks!!

Can be anywhere. What size room are you trying to cool? How many watts of lamps will run in there?

I’m using led lights so unfortunately not air cooled lighting, not sure if that matters
