Help with sealing room

[Hydropimp]

Got a 10x10 room with a 3 ton mini and 6k of light.

Here is a couple of pics of the room kinda messy when I took them but cleaning and typing at the same time.









So if you can lend a hand it will be appreicated.

I hooked up the a/c myself had a leak at the begining but that was outside when I fired it up. Tighten it and did not hear nothing so I ran inside and did not hear nothing. The ends where flared.

Now the problem is that with 4k of light on my temp is 85. If you see the pick of the ceilling I cut a piece of styrofoam and stuck it up the central a/c vent.

Ok you need to run some air cooled hoods what kind of system you going to have the girls in
In a seals room I cut a 6" - 8" hole in the floor or a wall run the duct through the wall to pull air through the lights then hook all the lights together the run the vent from the last one though the cealing to a 6" or 8" fan that pulls the air through the lights and blows it in to the attic

I have 2 eb and flow bucket system 12 each.

I thought the a/c was bigg enough to cool the lights?

I have Sun system grow hoods that are 8in

 

[stoney419]

Ya it should cool with out venting them I wonder if your just a little low on freeon since you had a leak

move the ballast outside the grow room if possible,add a fan to push cold air around.if its hot where you live cycle your dark period for hottest part of of day say 1 to 7 p.m. or 8.p.m.-8a.m. add a celing vent fan opposite end of a.c. unit.

 

[who me]

mabee try moving your remote for the split away from the unit.....I have a 2 ton and it cools 4k no problem with no air cooling.
Who me

I have a 1 ton that does 3k non cooled hoods without an issue. I have used 10k btu on 2k without issues as well. A 3 ton should rock that room.

 

[rr14]

not to get us off course, how many btu is that 3 ton? I'm building a similar sized room with 3k in it and a 18500 btu ac. I thought that would have been plenty but I'm unsure based on your grow.

1 ton = 12,000 btu

It's plenty.

Thanks for every one dropping in I will take a pic of the outside unit later and put it on.


Move ballast out of room with a hot day 100 degrees you think they can stand the heat in the roof?

The controll is right next to the unit. I will move it tonight.

Look at the last pic do you think the air is escaping out of there?

 

[Hydropimp]

Got some more pic's still did not test for leak doing that tonight.

I need to check my gas to see if it is where it needs to be I think it leaked out in the begining when I installed it.

WTF

Can some one guide to do this correctly plz.

 

[who me]

Who Me

 

[Hydropimp]

I just tried to hook up the guage in the pic.

If you see the last pic you will see the charge vavles when I went to hook it up I could not because it was blowing pressure back as it went to connect.

WTF

I HAVE A A/C GUY I can call but don't want to spend the money paying some1 else and he will not be back till tuesday.

But if worse comes to worse I will let him in.

Nice split AC. This is exactly what I plan on doing some time. Sealing a room up with the Split AC and supplementing CO2. Are split AC's as nice as they sound? Also how did you install the split AC I thought you needed an HVAC guy to vacuum the refrigerant?

 

[Hydropimp]

I bought the vacuum pump

 

[sparkjumper]

I love my sealed room.Get one of those dampers I'd guess you'd call it where you screw it to the bottom of the door and the rubber damper keeps light and co2 from passing under the door.The door opens and closes like theres nothing there
