My first grow room - from the ground up.

Maybe you need more BTU? I thought I read somewhere you need 3500 btu per 1k. If you make it to the bbq on sat I wanted to ask you some ?'s about your room.

Do you think a mini split would work better?

yea its a Sharp 10k btu and its putting out heat after a bit and the cold cant over come it.. its cooler in there without it on. and I added a valuline 4" today. I'm kind of at a loss at this point... the veg room that draws off this one is completely cool even with the 1k watter going in there.

Sounds like a filter issue? And what is the air temp it's intaking? If you have that thing running at night, and it gets down near freezing, it starts getting super wacky. Do you have your intakes low? I know you have your exhaust high.... scratching my head a bit here too.
 
56 plants, is 60 the limit when you are a commercial legal grow? Does it matter indoors or out? Seems to me you can get a better yield out doors. With that number, if you did it right, but alas no perpetual grow like you are creating...
 
I tore apart the ac and cleaned everything

this made a huge difference. I also put speed controls on my exhaust fans and now the ac is doing a muchhhhh better job.
 
That a/c is the small white one u had ?
Nice set up btw , im having a hard time configuring my exhaust system right now ... here's a pic of the set up if u got any ideas View attachment 2633209


I'm scared once i add 2nd 8x8 tent there's going to be to much flow for the main exhaust box to handle and will get leaks (backdraft)
 
i dont actually know what a venting box is but, as soon as the 8 inch fans push air into there it looses all its oomph you could call it, maybe if you made it all stream lined it may make it easier on the fans and have a higher air flow. just a thought.

looks like a sweet setup, both of you


so, so jealous, hope the rooms give you many high grade harvests
 
You should instal your air conditioner other side of the room , your going to have less hot exhaust ducting in your room so less heat . RIght now the cold air is being sucked up the filter right away
 
It stays plenty cool during the day but when the lights kick on it gets Fucking hot but since I run at night I crack the door and its all good.

my buddy does hvac and its looking like he can get me a mini split at cost and install it for me so ill probably be going that route.

Dunno it's my first run but I've had several people come through and say they are looking to be 3-4 ounces per plant.

You should take a little time getting your canopy right and I bet you would yield even more!
