If yas feel better with oversized A/C Bro , then far be it from me to disagree with overkill bein underrated......and hey.....

Extra insulation never hurt nobody`s feelings........R-board , whatever yas can use for added insurance , and yas made a good decision to pick the Santa Fe dehuey up as budget permits........Dbro knows the drill......

Less amperage draw than all other commercial units ...I mounted my 65 pint dehueys thru wall and sealed em to keep the excess heat out of the grow areas , but you don`t have that option , so I suppose the extra A/C will again be worth the investment for a totally dialed and sealed environment....now....

Get ta work.......:moon:.......

Peace...Freds......:ying:......

Sounds good, for the first time ill be oversized in AC which is really nice. I've struggled with high temps for nearly my whole first year.

What Santa Fe will I need for each room?

Single Max Dry Dual XT, or equivalent for each room. It's not cheap, but I can't describe how good it feels to KNOW your room has the perfect climate all day, everyday :biggrin:. Oh, and of course there's the yield advantage to help recoup the extra costs :dance013:

Well done! I really want to run a stadium someday.
Really interested to see the ac set up. I tried to have an hvac company do a set up like gettogros and it was like pulling teeth. So im going with minisplits, they are much easier to remove in case I need to change locations. If you have questions theres a real cool ac guy on the farm who is local to your area. Look for CannabisJohn. He suggests 5-6 btus per a watt.

DHF- there's actually a 3.5' x 15' long closet right between the two flower rooms. i was planning to use that for the window bangers and the 5ton handler, so that would be an area i could mount dehueys if it helped. but here's the thing

one room isn't big enough for 12 lights, unless i knock down that wall and extend into the closet. which i can do, but then i need to use minisplits for supplemental cooling. i dunno, i'm thinking i'll just run 10 lights in that room for a couple runs til i've got some extra cash for minisplits.

and i also don't know if i can swing the dual dry XTs this first run... $4k in dehueys... damn. next run forsure though.

Mister_D- ^^^^ sounds like the first run might needa be unsealed cause i don't think ill have the cash for them after building out this whole spot. like i said, next run forsure. thanks man.'

high life- i liked the stadium a lot although it was an awkward space to work in... in the future i'm looking at a setup more like Maina 8kw... having racks on wheels to adjust distances would be amazing.

i think i'm actually just gonna go with a damper/zoning system... i have a shared closet between the two rooms so that's the easiest and cheapest option for me.

thanks for stoppin by man! and the kind words :)

in other news, the weather sucked today but finally my plants are growing healthy again. they were so slammed with lumens in the oval setup they completely locked up for 2 weeks.... and finally today for the first time they looked fucking awesome.

oval huh... i ran a 4kw grow like that once, yielded decently and very large buds from all the 1k's blasting on em.

good job on the stadium, looks like you are moving on to bigger things tho.

peace!
