i need to be able to run window ac during winter in below freezing weather, my grow room has a bathroom attached to it could i cut hole in wall and let the back of ac vent into bathroom? or is there a better way?

Dont butcher up your house like that. Just buy a portable ac.
 
the ac will likely drip water into your bathroom, although im on the same page as renyman...why are you trying to run an ac in below freezing weather? if heat is an issue, just pump some of that already cold air inside

i want a sealed room, and i dont want any outside air contaminating grow..

replace you window unit for 1 with a vent. so when you turn your ac to vent mode the compressor does not run and the outside air is brought in, but you have to have carbon filter going so you don't vent out odors. its hard to smell stuff in freezing weather though. lol

another idea. i live in florida so heat is an isue for me. i cool my lights with outside air. if i use in house air i would vent out house which would get my house hot and my ac runs more. my point. in the winter i noticed that the 40 degree air running through my lights gets them so cool i can touch the 6in cooltube with 1kw bulb in summer same set up with 100 degree air its hard to keep temps below 85 18in from bulb
