Thanks jiji for politely explaining those hydro inovation things are fucking gay and deisgned for retards.
You will need two of those to run four nonaircooled lights in the summer.Final decisions in,
I bought a temporary fix
An 18000 but window unit, it runs on 110. I'm going to deticate a socket to it.
Now, I'm guessing this will allow me to run 4 lights, it may not give me full control but it will definitely keep things in order...
Anybody think I can run 6 lol..?
I fed the water from the wine well chiller through the Hydro Innovations 8" Ice Box.So you made an ice box chiller?
I have ran four air cooled 1000's during 70 degree night time temps with 2 8000 BTU window units. Of course this was in a basement though so my situation may not be the same as yours. I would splurge for the mini if you plan to expand. If you're just sticking with 6-8kW, throw another window AC in there that is also 18000 btu and you will be able to run possibly 8k bare bulb if your outdoor temps are low enough. If you aren't sure of your self, stick with the 4000btu/air-cooled-1000 and 6000btu/open bulb. There are so many variables at play that it's hard to say it will or will not work. I personally believe it will work but thats a big call to make and alot of money potential squandered on stuff that doesnt get you where you need to be.Final decisions in,

If u have the money to do it, go mini-split, you will never regret it...
that said, my next room will have a PTAC sleeve mounted in the wall, but I work at a hotel, and can get a great deal if I am willing to replace a few bits on one![]()
I was only planning on running 3_4 lights... I figured my gpw would just fall off if I do more, then again, I only pay 7¢ per kW so how gives a shit. I can run five lights for $130 month...
I dunno, there still seedlings so I'm in no rush... Well I kinda am, I lost my last harvest to a mix calibrated pH meter... The struggle is real haha
But yeah, its very cold here, only months its above 75_80 are July and august in some days that even questionable.
Now, you say guys speak of a split ac, you mean like the one outside your home?
I google them and they look a bit different I just think the designs have changed over time but correct me if I'm wrong...
If that's the case, I'll just go unhook my dads, he wont miss it until July, by then, I'll put it back and buy a new one for new house haha...
has anybody ever installed one of these in an attic?
Those really don't work that well. I've used them in a passive cooling setup, but otherwise its a waste. Mini-split ftw

That's more reason to add lights if this is his lively hood and not a hobby. If adding lights is going to increase his profits in the short term then he should do it.I know what you have. No. That isn't your only option. Just run 2 lights. If you aren't harvesting 4lbs off 2 lights then you shouldn't upgrade to 5 lights.
WTF is a PTAC sleeve?
