re: SpiriTHC's 2L Hempy vs DWC-H Tsunami of Green - CycoPlatinum
Yeah unfortunately I would have to build a wall a/c unit for the flower room.. I was really hoping this a/c would work better.. but the temps are good for the time being .. I know my problem is the 70 pint kenmore dehumidifier .. its crappy and not working .. I am going to replace it.. MAYBE install an exhaust fan .. like 400 cfm on the corner of the ceiling and shoot it into the attic if humidity go goes over 47% rH or something along with any hot air that might be there.. (basically for emergency purposes) if the a/c plus upgraded dehum are not enough.. The attic is not an issue .. i have a 1680 cfm attic fan attached to a therm controller ..making sure the attic never climbs over 90 degrees... also.. the house is a piece of shit.. ugliest thing to be quite honest.. I would never own it.. its all fucked up.. best thing in there is my op.
lol its like a 60's house.. falling apart almost.. haha but for right now I know that my a/c is sufficient enough to maintain temp.. although that recirculating air on a window piece sounds pretty amazing to keep things cooler and lower rH!!
might have to look into that as well! and soon!! we're going to have to tear down more walls LoL!
Let me start by saying, oooohhhhh how I wish I had your setup. Superb to say the least. For a noob I think you got it all and then some! Top notch setup dude.+reps. K nuf said, I am a hvac guy and can tell you from experience that you need to get rid of that 14000 btu ac boat anchor, and replace it with a window shaker. You can get a 12000 btu from the biggest box store for under $250.00. The reason for this is that the portable ones push way too much air out than they cool, just feel the air going out through the exhaust side and compare it to the cooling side, should be about three time the amount of air, Extremely inefficient. Plus if you set the window air to circulate, not draw in fresh air, it will act as your dehumidifier, yes air conditioners are almost the same thing as a dehumidifier. Another thing, after you change out the ac, turn all of your lights on and see where the temp goes, cause I can tell you from past experience, that you dont want to be adding another ac unit and all of its construction with a room full of plants. This is important to do, run them all full blast to see if you need another ac unit. All the manufacturers say what the unit can do under NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, not in a grow room. Plus this would be one less exhaust going into your attic. Witch brings me to another point. Check the humidity in your attic, VERY IMPORTANT! If you are exhausting into your attic, and the humidity is high up there it can rot and mold your attic. If anyone has had to deal with mold in a house they know what I'm talking about. Even if you have an exhaust fan in your attic, check the humidity, can cost you thousands of dollars in mold eradication. Other than those two points you are well on your way dude, the best of luck, and I'll be checkin in, later.
