AC for closet? who does it and what would i need?

[robertmarley]

I have a pretty big closet, 6 feet wide by about 8 feet deep, I use the back 6 x 4 area with two 600's in hoods for my flowering

I want to run Co2 and add a veg area to the closet with a 400 watt hps and the only way thats going to happen is with AC... but I dont know how easily this can be done without cutting holes in the walls etc and what wattage unit/btu i would need

For 1800 watts a 7500 btu unit would do the trick. Where is the Hot side of the AC going to vent? Not inside a room I hope!
Another, better option is to go with a mini-split AC unit if you can mount the compressor outside. At least you will not have to cut out the wall that way.

11,000btu a/c vented into the ceiling (in between floors)
(no attic) in a 8x5 closet


I have it on a shelf about 5 foot off the ground, under the a/c there is another shelf with a 5 gallon bucket that collects the water and than I use that water to water my plants 0ppm, I put it up off the ground for more plant space.


I don't see how you could you use co2 because the a/c is constantle exhasting hot air, unless you were to set it up somehow to where your A/C is getting clean air from somewhere else,your A/c would be exhausting all your Co2 out of the closet


This is a second floor apartment with and apartment above, so I just vent the A/c into the space in between floors, I cut a hole into the cieling but its no big deal just patch it up before i move.

works for me I have a 400 and 600 and veg area and an a/c was the only way I way i could keep my closet cool

her is my closet

the back 4x5 has the 400 and 600 for flower, and the front half the closet is set up into 2 different veg areas all under cfls (you would be suprised how big of plants you can get under cfls

The left side has shelves with cfls attached under the shelves I use for clones young plants ect and the right side is the same way but for vegging before I throw them into flower

everything is partitioned off with foam board insulation from home depot called R-Matt stuff works great easy cut with box cutter and is really strong depending on what size board you use, I painted it all white to match the closet(makes it look clean)

All held together with foil tape, no nails or screws, no sawing or heavy lumber ect

I tried to do everything to save space so everthing is on shelves up off the ground A/c, ballasts ect and the vertical veg space to saves alot of space to


Maybe this wiil give you some ideas
