Got the temps under control by starting the ac 30 min before lights on. Max temp only hit 79 throughout the day. Rh at about 50%.

So I know this window ac isnt going to cut it in the summer and right now it freezes up and makes a clanking noise if it's been running too long.

I found an ad online for a used indoor ac for $50. When the woman responded she said that it worked fine but its just too big for her office space and she just wants to get a window unit.

I have used this site before and know that there are plenty of shady characters there. Long story short I arrange to pick it up and when I text her that im 5 min away, she texts me back

"I am so sorry but I just plugged it in and it is beeping. It has never done that before.it wasn't doing that when I tested it earlier. You are welcome to take it for free. I apologize for making you come all the way here"

Then she said
"It is outside the studio door if you would like to take it anyway"

I was like I know this lady didnt just trick me into disposing of her broken ac. When I got upstairs
and plugged it in it beeped consistently and flashed the warning light.

I decided to take it with me since I saw leds and hear the beeping. I knew it worked but was giving an error code. 20 min of research and a little elbow grease got an 8000 btu for free.

Now my temps 75 rh 60.

Word, I was like



I was about to just leave without even checking it out. Then I thought about it and said even if she is trying to get over on me, my best move would be to just fix it if possible.

I already have just about any components I would need and all the tools. Its funny because I knew what was wrong from the beginning. It was such an easy fault.

Heres what was wrong. You would plug it in and it would beep and flash the light that tells you the water needs to be emptied.

I looked up the manual and found how to run the startup test. All the lights flashed and the ac actually turned on for like 2 seconds then off again over and over.

At this point I was sure the ac was functional. The fans turned and everything. One thing I remember very well from my electronics training is to always check the most simple fault first. You would hate to open up a machine to find out it wasnt plugged in.

I knew the tray had no water in it but its e
reading like it does. Obviously the switch is stuck.

These acs usually use a float device kinda like in the top part of the toilet to stop the refill.

I tilted the ac back and nothing, forward and it turned right on.

Then It was more like

So I tried to put the ac in the bedroom and duct the cool air into the tent but the thermostat on the control panel was giving the bedroom temp not the tent temp so it would auto shut off way before the tent was cool.

So I built the ac into the wall of the tent. This way the thermostat is inside but the intake and hot air exhaust are outside. With that under control I grabbed my dollar store humidifier and tossed it in.





and I made a window.





74 deg
54%rh

Th ac is working fine, only thing is is gotta be emptied on a pretty frequent basis. I need a hose to hook up to it. Got temps, rh, and light pretty much maxed out. Now to completely focus on the nutes. After that the co2.

I now know I was overfeeding and have sinced rinsed each container until I was within tolerable of ppm levels.

Im now going to be mixing the first feeding since that flush a few days ago. I feel like I need to supplement with
magnesium, and maybe silica a little bit through foliar and the rest with the normal res nutes, reduced by the same amount.

Looks good man! I always love DIY rooms, with as much improvisation as possible. Re-use, recycle, save money. I'm all about that. Love the free A.C., lol. Now I'm gonna have my wife keep an eye out for something similar in our local online swap meet, lol.

Chem4 and Shiska Diesel are looking on point. So aren't those GC s1's. You still holding that OG cut?

Im sad to have to report the ghost was lost and the sfv never full rooted. I ll find her again. I feel like I know what to look for now. I may just follow your lead and s1 the chem 4 to see if anything looks familiar.

I swear chem 4 tastes like og.
