we just finished construction of a 19x19 sealed room. we put in 16 adjust-a-wing DE with 16 grow amp turbos and a 54k btu lg mini split.



problem is during dry run tests our ac cant quite keep up (set point 64 F rooms staying 80-85) and is running full tilt all the time. so im afraid im going to burn it up in a hurry. and i cant afford to get a back up till second harvest. and clone are maby a week out from ready....



my solutions are to move the ballasts to the attic which does not have proper ventilation so ill have to add soffit vents and peak vents and a crawl space and id be concerned about temp and humidity of an uncontrolled environment and electrical equipment. or do an alternating 600,1000 instead of all 1k. wich i really dont wana do either.



if any one has any bright ideas or solutions that can help id love to hear them

Hmmm. That's more BTUs than necessary for a 400 sq ft space. That room should be chilly. Is it insulated? Have you added a fan to move air?

More ac or loose lights or vented hoods. How many zobes do you have on mini splir. Another option light movers

Putting the ballast in the attic is asking for trouble.

If you are using a sealed room how are you going to combat humidity?

I mean you can just use dehumidifiers, but they kick out heat as well. Plants seem to transpire a lot at high temps. Also if the temps drop lights off is quite a big spread get ready for a humidity spike.
