    Mini split advice, wall mount vs slim duct, C&H vs Aircon

    looking at 24k btu mini splits to cool a 12x15 flower room running 6000ish watts of led+cmh, I have narrowed it down to a couple of choices, either THIS 21 seer wall mount unit by Aircon, or THIS 20.5/21.5 seer unit from cooper & hunter. Looks like they both use the same CMGG Toshiba compressor...

    AC taking too long to cycle on.

    My AC unit (traditional split unit) takes too long sometimes to cycle on. The Honeywell thermostat will flash "Cool On" for 3 or 4 minutes before turning on solid and the compressor and fan actually fire up. This is a time delay to protect the compressor I believe. This is creating large temp...

I've been giving the plants direct sunlight till about 1PM (35°C) and misting them. Then moving them inside with air conditioning...

    Hey guys, I'm looking for people who have experience with having lights without air-cooled hoods AND without them. How big of a difference do air cooled hoods make for overall temperature of the room? Is it nominal or significant?

    Mocked up grow room for dual hose A/C, think this will work?

    I mocked this up quickly as I feel so far it's my best layout idea for the space I have to work in, the whole thing is about 10' x 13' w/ some addition utility space toward the upper right corner that doesn't count as growing space so it's not shown (where passive intake is) I'm trying to avoid...

    Look what I found out, can I use it to cool my room temp?

    The only reason I built a RCWC system is because i believed I needed 13 gallons of nutes to run a chiller (I didn't even know what RDWC was when I was building this thing I should have looked up more before starting hydro). Anyways that is not true, it's very FALSE and this can save you a...
