Sealed Room Build

[Nifty_PoT]

Very nice clean looking room ! Just a few questions.

I was under the impression that with a room this size aircooling hoods would not be ideal?
As budleydoright explained earlier in this thread , i thought open hoods and properly sized a/c is much better for larger setups like these?
So im really interested in why you didint follow that advice? As i understand it currently you dehumidifier will be running permanently and maybe wont even keep up because you are removing a lot of the heat from lamps ?
Cant wait to see some plants in there !

JB is running AC,
all you have to do is just looks back a few posts.i
ts a nice set up too.
running that size AC with air cooled hood will make for a very manageble
situation temp wise

Great questions Nifty. So the main reason I chose to air cool lights was so I didn't need a large A/C. Also since I had a few commercial dehu's sitting around they will do the job nicely. Since I ended up air cooling the lights it did mess up a balance like was previously stated, but i made up for that with a large dehu running 24/7.

I'm sure some will argue this is not the most efficient, but after running it for a few days and having a temperature change of less than 1 degree i'm okay with that!

Thanks everyone! Lots of time, hard work and planning made this possible.
