@MrStickyScissors I just read in the other thread you said "
I got 12,000 Btu Emerson cool mini split. 250 pint dehumidifier, 7 gAvitas, number 10 copper wire. Double 40 breaker. And ebb n flow trays.
You may have already run this room and setup and don't need me to be questioning your setup or configuration, so if I'm off base here, my bad. Am I reading right that you have a 16x16 room, with 7 Gavitas (1100watts each, or 750watts each? I don't know much about'em or which ones you have) and "only" 12,000 Btu of ac? Is that gonna be enough cooling for this heat load?
5200W or 7700W of HID lighting (depending), plus the dehumidifier, and other stuff, seems like alot for 12,000 Btu of cooling.

Am I trippin'? It's quite possible, I'm tired as fuck.

You ain't tripping. He'll need around 30-36000 bTU AC to cool that room proper.

I have about 10k in
If you got 10k invested, may as well go all out and use proper gas.
I’m running 7 de hps great air circulation
yeah your ac is going to be working HARD. I would not use burners with hps, for sure use gas tanks.

Like LordHooha said, it likely won’t work.

Youll need more mini splits, or scrap the sealed room idea, and set up a big ol outtake fan with some uv light sterilizing on the outtake for smell and just run a non Co2 room.

It’s a really nice unit if it doesn’t cool it I’ll simply buy another one

Lighting alone is over the cooling he has currently. He's setup for failure it looks like.
I didn't notice the carpet. Thought it was concrete.

you will need another 2 if you are buying that same model. For each watt you spend in your room you need 3.41BTU of cooling. This include the watts of any fans, pumps, lights, dehumidifiers etc.
