Small LED sealed grow room

hi everyone, I am currently building a sealed grow room. The sealed room dimentions are small at 5ft x 6 ft x 3 ft = 90sqft
I have a atami 10 pot dripper which will take up 2/3rds of the room and then screened of seperatly (just the light not a seperate sealed room) a mother/veg area.
I will be running a 180w led on the 10 pot system and a 90w led in the mother/veg section. I will be running Co2 into the room.
Will i require a dehumidifier and/or aircon? With using the leds there will be minimal heat generation and with the veg lights remaing on 24/7 the temp should remain stable.
Any advice or suggestions will be much appreaciated. Thanks

Hi biffa,welcome to icmag!Which of these measurements is the height as you don't add that when working out your sq ft.If 6 ft is the height then you have 15 sq ft of space,if 5 ft then you have 18 sq ft etc.
180 watts of leds wont fill that big a space,you will need more lights!You will need a minimum of 30watts per sq ft.

Hi, the total floor space for the wilma system is only 8sqft and veg area 6 sqft. The height of the room is 6ft as you say. Bigger lights needed then. Thanks for the advice. With this in mind with regards to my previous query above bear any effect with humidity/temp control issues?

Hi Biffa

I've been using LEDs for about four years now, and can only tell you what I've experienced, not what you need to do as I do not grow in a sealed room..

Coverage:

I use about 500 watts in a 1x1 meter room for flowering 300 watts for veg with same dimensions.

You will definitely have to control temp and humidity in a sealed room, I use aprox 200 cfm for 500 watts during flowering with a delta T of 3 degrees F at 72 degrees outside room temperature. Intake is passive with intake area 2x that of exhaust. Closed room will go from 72 degrees to 85 degrees (F) in aprox 4 hours. No clue on humidity, I just keep the larger space within 40 to 50 % in the main space and the relative humidity in the flowering room is within 5 % of the outside room.

Well, there you have what I do, hope it helps you in some way.
