A little bud porn from my last harvest.. La Confidential and Lavender, both were under a single 1000w, I have since moved to 2 600w, and adding in supplemental light where it may be needed

2 raptor 6"
both hoods and the ac are ducted through the ceiling. I pull air from in my house, carbon scrubbed during flower,

9500 btu portable ac
last grow was under a single 1000w, I live in a very hot dry climate. So cooling was an issue. So i ended up with this ac unit which was bought off craigslist for $100. A steal if you ask me. but It has brought its challenges as well. I bought a square duct work that goes to an 8" then reduced to a 6" into my flower room. atleast thats the idea
![new room 4.jpg](/data/attachments/1688/1688735-3be7bfd7defa95e93bb8c408978a9e8b.jpg)
I have an idea of how am I am going to make this work with a single hose portable ac unit but I wanted to bounce the idea around a few experts. I have been on this forum for awhile now but im not really one to make small talk online. But with the direction I'm heading I sure could use some help.
co2 : I think I understand the concept of ventilation for co2... there needs to be an exhaust for heat exchange and an intake for fresh air to start the process over again.. my question is can I use my Portable ac outside my grow room and custom make ducting similar what an inline fan would be doing..using the C.A.P TMP-DnE controller to control both when my ac outside my room kicks on and my exhaust fan kick on. both of which could be controlled via a co2 shutoff? so something like this...sorry for the rough sketch..its all I could think of. but hopefully you get the idea.
its rough, I know.
the day and night temperature controller * tmp-dne * will control both the ac and the exhaust fan. the exhuast fan is on a speed control to match the intake from the Ac. I should probably keep a slight neutral to positive pressure in my flower room? [ edit ] Im thinking of putting backdraft dampers on both intake and exahaust. are they needed? they make sense to me
^ And those controllers would be controlled by the CO2 controller, so it will shut the exhaust system down, to add co2. Once maximum temp/1500 ppm has been reached the co2 controller kicks on the * tmp-dne * which in turn switches on the cooling/exhaust. then the cycle continues.
Should the cycle be continuous during lights on?
The flow meter, which setting should it be set at? should it be set to coexist with how long the flower room can stay under 85? *example* if I set the flow meter to 1 it takes 16 mins to fill the room to 1500 ppm, if im starting with a 200ppm room currently. so if I up the flow meter setting to 2, which in turn should fill the room in half the time.
Or ---- should i scratch the ac unit and just go with 2 x 4" or 6" inlines? intake exhaust..
