8kw grow need help

[Hydropimp]

Need help on finding a good A/C to cool two rooms with 4kw in each.

Will be cooling light with 1 vortex 8in on one end and a duct buster in the middle of both hood conneted to a 10in vortex existing

Do not want a window a/c unless it can be in the room and have a good toturiol.

Help a friend in need been out the game for some time time make a nice comeback.

Will have 25 plants in each room ebb and flow buckets.

Any one know where to find big CO2 bottle and have them filled. It is hard to come around CO2 around here unless you have a account with a company.

The rooms are both 10x10x9

Was thinking of Co2 gen but don't want to add extra heat but if I have too I will.

will put 3 1/2in acustical thermal insulation on the sheet rock and have r- mate on top of the insulation will caulk every single crack or lining.

Have you thought about running alternating dark periods? That way you could work with less equipment, while exchanging air flow BETWEEN rooms.
As far as c02, maybe you could be an avid 'paintballer' and set up an account with someone?

Stone I thought the same thing about paintball but no hope the people need to come to your location and rent out the tanks.

What would be the benefit of a flip flop on the lights.

thanks for the info

running one set while the other is off is just common sense. Draws less power at once and you can probably keep temps a little better between the rooms using this method. I have a restriction in the amount I can run off of one outlet so running one 40o watter plus fans and what not is enough for the outlet so when I add a second 400 probably going to run one while the other is off and vice versa.

WalMart, Lowe's etc have free-stand a/c units that will probably meet your cooling needs. The entire a/c unit would be in your grow room, but it does need a vent to outside the room.

The 8000 watts of lighting will generate approximately 27,520 btu's of heat all by themselves. Outside air running through the hoods and out again will reduce that figure, the actual reduction will depend on the outside air temps.

Goodluck,

i run outside air through my hoods, it helps greatly. although im only 1/3 wattage as you it helps so much. especialy in winter.. 45 degree air into your hoods...MMMMMMMM
and then you can dump the hot air into your house for free heat.
id sugest a minisplit..
i have on of these puppies in my data room at my office. rarely an issue.

I did put the heated air into my home for awhile, odor as minor as it was was unacceptable. Now it dissipates outside.
