Hello fellow growers!
A short intro:
I have been growing for 8 years, on and of, in defferent places. One time busted by police, 2 times busted by neighbours! thats allso why i have mooved many times.. So now, i`m thinking, that if i should gro again, it should be as stealth as never seen before! That meen sealed is the way to go. And since i have had "bad luck" 3 times before, This "sealed" room, is going to be sealed up like a submarine! That will be a very hard task i know, but iam ready to do it!
I have 8.000$ i can spend on the projeckt, but that has to cover everything from lights to room(box) build.
I Do have some questions for plan that i have truoble to find answer on.
My Plan:
I wonna build a box, totally sealed up, and soundproofet the "real" way. The "box" will messure 7feet high, 7feet wide and 10 feet long, In this box i will build Mr HEATH ROBINSONs vertical floodet tube, it will be build to hold 150 plants(small). The hydro setup will hold a 600w hps bulb. The room(box) will allso have co2 lines to defuse the co2, and offcourse a co2 controller to.
That is about all this sealed room/box will hold, exept the ac blower allso, and a 40w blower, blowing at plants.
All other things will be fittet outside the box. So that i only have to open the box if something is wrong or when plants have to be harvestet, and not for maintaining the setup in general.
That leaves me with only 4 things that i have to inject to my box;
Wire for the bulb
Water line in to fill the resuar(the some hose will be used to drain it)
Co2 line in
ac tubing
The questions:
#1
I do not understand this- a plant uses co2 and emits o2 in return, then fresh co2 is injected to the room/box- But how is this possible if the room is sealed without pressuricing the box? Or is a sealed grow room not relly sealed like the words meaning?
#2
Aircondition is a hole new thing for me, in my contry ac is not normal, so i cant fitt my mini split compresser unit outside, but i have a pretty big room for it, with lots of ventilation, so i think iam good here. The q is pretty simple- if u use a 600w bulb in a real sealed box, would the wattege drawn from my ac equal this for cooling?
I have spent many houers reading about btu`s, watts, and all this, but i simply can not figure this out!
Lets say i uses a 9000btu mini split 14 SEER (something like this http://www.innovationalinc.com/splitaircondtioners.php#Model Specification -to cool what i just explainet in the above text, for 12 ouers a day- Would it +- consume 600w electricity pr/h?
Course the term "cooling capacity 2,63KW" confuses me?
I Hope someone can help me out here- in return i do a build/grow log
