running stress test on super room need help

[SirDabsAlot360]

we just finished construction of a 19x19 sealed room. we put in 16 adjust-a-wing DE with 16 grow amp turbos and a 54k btu lg mini split.

problem is during dry run tests our ac cant quite keep up (set point 64 F rooms staying 80-85) and is running full tilt all the time. so im afraid im going to burn it up in a hurry. and i cant afford to get a back up till second harvest. and clone are maby a week out from ready....

my solutions are to move the ballasts to the attic which does not have proper ventilation so ill have to add soffit vents and peak vents and a crawl space and id be concerned about temp and humidity of an uncontrolled environment and electrical equipment. or do an alternating 600,1000 instead of all 1k. wich i really dont wana do either.

if any one has any bright ideas or solutions that can help id love to hear them

white/black plastic.

Turn off lights till a/c is comfort. Plastic off lights not used this run.

Proper planning prevents Piss Poor Performance.

You think you have a problem with temps....Wait until the room is full of plants. The humidity is going to go through the roof.

By the way a good dehu is going to set you back for over a grand.

With 1 post and running such a large room...I would say your about to waist a bunch of money.

IMHO, you should run half (or less) of the room and then get a second mini-split.

Grab a large window banger out of Craigs List and modify it as per: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=95491

As this project sounds ambitious and rushed, the above is spot on.
Use only a section of this large space to begin.
Learn small & don't waste a lot of money failing.
And if fast revenues are your goal, all the more important to learn to study every detail in small scale first.
As applies to everyone who grows a garden, the devil is in the details.
Large groups of living plants in your space will present many challenges in addition to the critical ones of temps. & humidity.
At this stage, think & rethink every step you take.

16 adjust-a-wing DE with 16 grow amp turbos and a 54k btu lg mini split.

54k btu / 5k btu = 10.8 light
DE run more hot than SE, more btu load.

Turn off near 6 light and a/c be comfort, run efficient load.

Where drawing board to go to?

You'll simply have to run fewer lights and fewer plants. You'll definitely need adequate dehumidification or you'll be doomed to PM and Botritus, which could easily result in 100% crop loss.

You can either cut down on the number of 1000 watters or run them at 600w. And you may not be able to run all your lamps even at 600. And don't push the limits. If you're relying on your AC to dehumidify enough to prevent fungal problems, you may be in for a big disappointment. Run what you can, till you can buy another Mini Split, but right away, you need dehumidification. And when you buy your second AC unit, go for overkill. Do more research. Check the Calculating AC in the sticky in this section and allow extra. It's not even Summer. Good luck. -granger

this is just my first post cause most of the time im just reading and this isnt my primary forum. im branching out looking for some extra advise. this isnt my first time growing thsi is just my first time owning the grow.

as for the humidity there are 3 air handlers that all dehumidify and i am aware i will probably have to get a stand alone unit to compensate. with all the equip running we r sitting at a solid 86 F i just turned off a bank of 4 to see what happens and were the system settles.
