Greetings, I'd like to start by saying I'm not totally new, and thanks for any help on this subject. I can manage without any general info about how I am growing and only would like input about the environment. I don't need a space habitat or pressurized room. I could not find a straight answer. I have about 5 harvests under my belt 2 using soil, then I switched to hydro, below is how I did my grow, but in a house where I could vent air out. I averaged about 2-2.5oz per plant, I honestly got tired and stopped weighing the harvest, it was mostly for personal use, so 2.5 was good for me, I think it can be more as I go on. I flowered 4 at a time after I learned about not letting them grow to tall and crowd each other.
My Wife and I are splitting up, so my grow situation has changed. The apartment I am looking at moving in is a 2 BR, in both rooms there is a A/C, the windows are side windows, so I dont even want to mess with them for security reasons. Not sure of the room I am going to use, but either way I will be using (2) 5x5 grow tents, hydro system, 600W LED light(bloom) 300W LED (veg).
The questions is, the apartment already has a AC in it, so if I block the windows 100% so no light gets in, could I use a carbon filter inside the bloom tent venting the now scrubbed air outside the top of the tent, have a smaller intake fan on the bottom vent of the tent. Could I rely on the A/C to cool that room and exhaust the hot air out the apartment? I have no interest in using Co2. I do have supplemental humidifiers, fans, and I figure since this is a bedroom, me going in and out of it to check plants will be enough combined with the a/c either on COOL or FAN, possibly even heat.. (I live in a colder climate) will be enough for air exchange.
Its going to be very low traffic in the apartment, and when I'm not in the room I will probably add a towel to the bottom of the door lol (it works in hotels). I will have a separate Carbon filter in the main area of the apartment just as a backup from any odor coming out. Probably going to change the filters out 2mons early just to make sure. I can't have any odor leaks coming out.
So again, my main concerns are is this sufficient for exhaust and odor? The A/C and the filters? Using the window would make me stand out and is really not an option, neither is fucking up the walls or ceiling to make a hole. I really appreciate any help, and sorry I know this has probably been asked in many various ways as I saw when looking for the answer. However my situation is focusing on a grow tent, and might as well say no window, only a/c, fans and humidifiers, and a dehumidifier.
