Running oscillating lights, or less lights?

[0.2microns]

Hello everyone. Bit of a predicament here.

I totally undersized my cooling. My mini split can't keep up with my DE room. I am running 12 open 1000w DE's. The room is fully sealed and I run a CO2 burner at 1200ppm. Room is 30x15, I'm running 3 custom built trays with plants filling them up completely. My room is basically packed full of plantage.

My issue is that the AC simply can't keep up. I made the mistake of running one large air handler rather than a couple to split up my cooling capacity, but I also undersized my compressor as well.

Shit sucks, but here I am.

My question is, if you were in this position, would you rather run the lights in an oscillating fashion with 6 lights on per cycle. Switching the lights that are on every 2 hours. I would imagine this might operate similar to a light mover.

OR

Would you just go ahead and scrap 4 of the 12 lights, and run 8 of the lights only at full blast for the full 12 hour photoperiod?

Thanks for your inputs!

Here is what my room looks like currently.. packed full of SFV OG. Running all MH except for the two lights that are on top of the camera, which is why the plants in front look so yellow.

Week 1 of flower.

Sorry, first photo didn't work.

Oscillating the lights will drastically shorten the life of the lamps, you might end up having to replace them during the grow

Why not rent a couple more A/C units?

increase your ventilation - enough to dissipate the extra 4 kilowatts - and you won't need the extra A/C.

but then you might need some noise insulation ... if people wonder why your grow room ventilation sounds like an airplane.

I would shut off the co2 until it is cold out. Those burners put out a ton of heat and with the de lights I doubt you'll need it anyway.

Air from outside? Winter is coming.
