Wish I could have mini split, it's in a 3 decker unless you live in New England you probably don't know what it is, but no one has mini splits outside it look to suspect

if that is the only thing stopping u .........buddy do it

1 u have several possible excuses at anytime u are new england ........growing season is short and can not handle exotic plants ......with the cost of stuff everyone and their mother is DIY

all u have to do is grow some pepper or something u like in the room with the plants .........just play it smart about how u deal with the surplus

Get a dual tube portable,or mini split,or you'll be exhausting stinky air.
4000btu per 600w is a good rule but over kill in this situation isn't a bad thing.
Get it right the first time,or pay a lot over till you do..just a hint.
BTW,the cheap booster fans on eBay work great to eliminate back draft if you have to run a long exhaust tube
Good luck!

Thanks everyone the advice, but always open for more!

Really, I originally wanted get a portable, but it seems everyone says they are crap not efficient and are the spawn of Satan lol. I will not be exhausting air from room. I will be scrubbing air with filter on one side of room ducting from filter to opposite side of room for circulation

You have to exhaust the air from the room.

Thought I was ok because of co2 enrichment

if your using a burner you have to exhaust. co2 tanks you dont have to exhaust.

make sure you have a dehumidifier in a sealed room when doing co2 also. i would get a 24k btu window unit and it shouldnt have to struggle at all imo. it would be 240v though not 120v.

I know nothing about CO2 burners, care to say why? Can they not be regulated to turn off as well?

Carbon monoxide and stuff

I was under the assumption the burner would be on 5 min an hour shouldn't be a CO issue

to do what u are talking about a burner is not a good idea unless u do a mini spilt 2 ton ......if u want to add Co2 go Tank it is little more bitch to move around and refill but less heat and RH in the room

your size u need 50lb tanks (other opoin is get a propain tank u know one of those big ones outside and have them fill it with Co2 )they do this for food places
