Hello, i have a room that is 10x10x10 which i intend to use for growing. I am gonna enclose the bigger part of the room (8x10x10) with panda film. In this room there is a 12000 BTU inverter air condition (window unit).
I am planning on running 3000w in this room vertical (5x600w). Now i know, that usually when you have a window aircon unit, you are doing sealed setups. Problem is i DON'T WANNA USE CO2 and have to buy tanks, regulators and the dehumidifiers that come with those things. Plus i am not really sure i can really seal the room efficiently.
So, i guess i will have to run a classic passive intake/exhaust room with the window aircon unit running above it. I know its not very efficient in terms of electrical consumption (max operation for my air con comes at 1330 watts). And not only that, you exhaust air conditioned air.
But its the only viable option i have if i wanna eat more than bread for the next few months because this project has got me bleeding financially.
INTAKE/EXHAUST
I have only a window in this room. With the blinds down, its stealth. I want to lower the blinds of the window completely. Then I am planning on putting panda film to it to lightproof it. In its lower part i am gonna put holes to the panda film to intake fresh air. In the upper part of the polyed window, i am gonna open holes to connect the exhaust ducting. I want to run 20 plants in total. Vertical 5x600w setup.
Questions:
1) I have 3x6" 450 CFM fans and the appropriate carbon filters. Are they enough to maintain the room at the perfect 75F temps ALONG with my window aircon unit?
2) Do you think there would be a problem with humidity with 1350 CFM fans in total exhausting stale and humid air out of the 8x10x10 room?
3) Do you believe smell would be a problem considering the air con unit or the size of the room i have to work with?
4)What size holes and how many do i have to open in the polyed window to bring in sufficient amounts of fresh air from outside?
Thanks for any answers!
