Like this? I'm going to do some research, because it says something about using liquid and gas service lines which I have no clue as to what that means.
I take it the fan box thing goes outside?

ya thats the one.
they arent too hard to install if you have a little mechanical know how.
and they dont put off near as much heat as a traditional ac, so if you want you can just put it in another room, or whatever but the best thing to do is to put it outside if you can

This video answers all questions about that...also collects water, sweet sounds like a nice source for top of water.
One question, if this ac unit is the way to go:
The condenser, or box that goes outside, could you install this part into an attic separate from the room the cooling unit is in? or would it HAVE to be outside?

no it doesnt have to be outside.. it could be in an attic but would not be as efficient because it would most likely be trying to cool much hotter air.. if you have it in an attic i or another room in your house i would try and have some fresh air circulating to it so that it doesnt over work itself.. but in short yes that is the beauty of them, they dont need to be outside, but it is prefered. i was at a buddys house yesterday that ran a 10 light setup, and he had a metal shed with a grow room built inside of it, and all he did was had the ac vent inside the grow room, the box hooked up outside of it, but still in the metal shed, and then had an intake and an exhaust for it that ran outside so that fresh air was constantly cirulating it... it was absoulte sickness.
at the same time i have seen rooms setup with them outside like a normal ac condenser, and i have seen some ghetto rigged with the box on balconies, sitting by windows and all kinds of crazy shit.. really just depends on your space and application

Awesome! Thanks man!
Yea, I was just about to ask about that, it seem to cheap to go any good? Damn the next ones have a huge jump up in price...
1 year on parts, 5 years on compressor.

Hi guys
quick question:
I have a 11 x 13 room w 6x 1k a/c lights on closed loop,and am looking to get an a/c this week should i go for a 24k btu mini split,or a 24k btu window unit? Or a 24k btu portable duel hose? The window ac is only 5oo and i like that,just dont want to suck any co2 out a/c unit:but if little if any air passes through then i should be good ya?
I am reading into a sealed room method with 1 room as buffer/or lung and the 2 on its sides are flowering rooms.Very interesting,indeed.
Only buffer/lung room is treated,with a/c,co2 etc
I will post the info if anyones interested,cheers

Flo do you think 24k btu would be overkill for a 1o x 1o with 6 x 1k w a/c hoods?

in my opinion there is no such thing as overkill.. worst case scenario you will have a large a/c that uses less electricity, less often, with a unit and a compressor that will last much longer... on the other hand getting a unit too small, will run constantly, and cost more to run, not to mention burn out the compressor in a year or two..

I've got a question about the mini split systems. I know where the cool air comes FROM, the compressor outside, pumping it through the ducting to the room. As far as removing the humidity from the room where is the INTAKE/filter located? Pushing air into the room is bound to force air out of it through the cracks in the door in order to compensate for the difference in air pressure. If not, where does the hot, humid air go? Is the intake located centrally in the house? I'm still a little confused about how these things work.
