A friend of mine has a 10000 BTU that is way more powerful than my 13000 BTU. I think brand name is just a important as BTU.
Is it 220? If not it's probably 120000 btu. In a room your size that would keep it real nice and only kick on once in a while. I'd want something at least 8200 btu in a room that size. 5000 would probably run too much. Normally it would be fine in a common environment, but with lights and ballasts I'd want something bigger.

Nope not a 220 so, that could narrow it down LOL!
I'll be at my grow today later on so I can dig out this A/c and find out for certain what I'll be working with. First time setting up a sealed tight room and using Co2. Excitement fills the air in the land of sketchy lol
A/C systems get tricky with grow rooms. Buy one too small, and it will never cool the room. On the flip side; buy one too Big, and it will not run long enough to sufficiently pull out the moisture. Not only will a big unit make your room cold and clammy
. It will also create these fluctuations in temp between the long off and on periods, like a Sine wave.
I installed a 9,000 BTU in a 12x16 with 11' ceilings. (6,000 BTU recommendation for normall uses)
-Temps never below 72 or above 76
-humidity 45-60%
Yes I know what your are thinking. "but the system must run all day". Wrong.
By flip-flopping the light cycle to be ON during night and OFF during daytime (ex. ON 8pm-2pm) you are demanding you compresssor to work less during hotter times. while still pulling out enough humidity. and that is necessary where I live.
p.s. They make compressors that are soo quiet and have such a high SEER rating that that installing a mini split ductless unit is probably the best idea you will ever have.

Sketch go with at least a 10,000 for that sized room.. although a 12 would be better. If HID lighting wasn't being used I would say you could go with an 8,000. But once you add the heat from the lights 10,000-12,000 would be adequate to cool it down and decrease the humidity. definitely makes for happier plants. My room in my previous home was about that size and I used a 10k, it was perfect.

My purple plush is throwing more nanners @week 6, plucked about 6 in total now. I really want to keep this bitch and run her once more to see if it was user error or not, she smells like some unbelievable grape goodness. If she doesn't full blown herm I'll try her once more, but I'm cutting the super soil..just too hot for her I think.
Sad hearing all about all these TGA herms.
