I am starting a 10x10 x 8 foot high grow room in a bedroom. I have 3 1k hps lights that will hang vert, I will have 30 babies in there, what would be sufficient ventilation and air conditioning

personally i like running sealed rooms.. keeps the smell inside and easy to deal with.

You are going to want a 12.000 or 14.000 BTU A/C for that amount of lights.. Are your lights cool tubes or air cooled lights.? that makes a big difference. Are u just using this room to flower.? or are you vegging and then flowering.

I would air cool the lights from the outside air and seal the room. the outside air only passes through the light ducts and goes back outside.. leaving the room sealed and controlled..

But there is also a thousand ways to skin a cat.. that is just the method i like..

The third sticky up top will give you the answer to your ac question.
One thing to remember, and I don't see alot of guys taking this into consideration until it's too late, when the lights are off the ac unit will not kick on as much so your humidity may spike. Unless your ac unit has a "dry" mode, you may need a dehuey for when the lights go off.
This is also a reason why some people don't cool their lights in a sealed room; to keep the ac running=cooling&dehumidifying the air at all times.

Have you checked out the vertical section of this website? it's in the growers forums. Are you using parabolic reflectors?
