IMO.
IMO.
you live somewhere that gets below zero and your thinking about using an a/c in the winter???? hold one i just need to throw a couple cents in here.
IMO, i would just take 50-100 ft.(cut as needed for proper temps) of ducting hooked to an inline fan and run it outside. will return air fucking cold as shit. I also use a climate controler so... not saying don't have an a/c for backup, but useing a 70 watt inline and the earth/enviroment, instead of using a 600+ watts a/c makes sense to me.

Even in areas where it gets very cold in the winter you will still need AC in the summer dont you? Just to clarify we are talking about using *Thousands* of watts, indoors. Even if its 60F (outside) during the light cycle you arent likely to get enough cooling from an ambient intake. You have to run AC in the winter ... right? Please forgive me if Im not understanding, but I think i see where gotttit is going here. 9K watts = 30000+ btus of heat (if 1000w = 3400btu). This guy knows his shit. Thanks for the show!

Hey gottit what ya gott? $ and no books? I get good & stoned from my modest 400w grows. Skinny potent joints, or half joints and its stoned time. With UV-B. Its in the sun and all the books but because you do not believe in education you bad rap me? Intelligence would at the least Google it, but that does mean reading new material. God forbid. THats ok You've got em eating out of your billfold. $10,000 for equip. and 0 for education? Experience doesn't teach you about light rays you cannot see. Have a nice day.
Boosted3 you're reception of new information is wonderful.
Question: How do you disguise the 100 amp draw besides the normal house draw? Or are you the biggest draw in the neighborhood?

Hi Gott It,
I was wondering if you ran the calculator that I posted on my earlier thread. I was curious what size AC it was telling you you needed.
If your going to run a sealed room with CO2 you will probably need the AC in the winter. All that I have read says with CO2 you want to run the room around 85 degrees. Without CO2 you should run the room around 72-75 degrees.

I've never done hydro, but I gather your system is 48 buckets on a recirc. I would feel a whole lot safer if I had a UV sterilizer plumbed into the system.
You don't need to worry about CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) for a while because the biggest they make right now is 400 watt size. However, they do run on an HPS ballast...in case you have a few dozen of those lying around. I suppose you may add a water chiller in the summer too?
Anyway, I have the best of hopes for this one
Oh, and that guy talking about UVB just spent $2k on LED arays for 1 plant.
I don't think he knows about the Pink T5. It puts out more than 50% of its output between 400 and 300 nm. It comes in 48" 54 watt sizes. Burns the leaves though. I think I had it too close.

Gottt it, Like BC mentioned if your temps get that low don't bother with a mini-split. ExcelAir is good but way over-priced, i guess the fact that most people can install it themselves lets them charge what they charge...or maybe its due to the customers they advertise towards
If you knew how to weld copper lines you can get a in and out system(excel air) for about $1500..
as far as the water unit's BC mentioned, they work but everyone just grabs a 5ton water unit and calls it a day because the price from a 3 ton to a 5 ton is not much. there easy to install your self so long as you understand the water needs and can supply it.
The ticket price of $3500 BC mentioned is way up there, unless thats going price around that area...Out in the south you can get a 5ton water cooled a/c for about $1900

doesnt matter what i do in life .. i will ALWAYS have a hater right around the corner..
sorry they like to look at a room that they would probably never want to run because of the risk involved ..
and as far as i am concerned i dont have to read books anymore .. im a little past that i guess .. and i dont really care about the lighting your talking about it isnt going to help me AT ALL
you come on my thread talkin bout dummb shit so save it buddy .. im not here trying to make friends or enemies but plz save the hate ..
