ok guys i got a brain buster for you.
got a shop that is 36x18 with 16' ceilings
two rooms made of poly/2x4s
veg room 8x11x8
400w hps, multiple T8 floros, multiple CFLs
flower room 8x8x8
(2)600w digital hps (eventually (4)600s)
current temps
outdoor temps 50-60s day 30-40s night
shop 75*
veg room 75*
flower room with 1 600w hps is 80* (since it is sealed and light not aircooled yet it is a little warmer in here.)
obviously my temps are going to skyrocket as soon as temps outside get up into the 70+ range.
SO Where should the AC unit(s) go?
1. i can install a huge one with a tube exhaust out of the shop and try cool the whole shop?? lights would be aircooled with its own intake and exhaust out of each room.
2. install a window AC unit in each of the rooms and seal them up better. then i'd just have a big intake/exhaust for the shop to exhaust the hot/humid output from AC units.
3. get a couple smaller portable AC units and put them directly on my aircooled runs to my lights. but then i'll have to route the exhaust from AC somewhere still.
