    Is it OK to vent to the attic?

    look to see if you have a ridge vent at the very peak of your roof. if you do then aim you hose at it :bigjoint:otherwise your room sounds perfect

    all you need to do on exhaust side is shorten factory hose and slip it into the larger hose , like a straw into a pipe

    i think your unit has a 6in hose just like mine. i used 7 in insulated for my 1100btu and 1000 btu unit. in jumped to 8in insulated on my 1300btu unit. i did it to both hoses. the exhaust side get warm so insulated helps. it's $35 for 25ft so i put it on intake to.

    you dont want super heated air but if you use your head and run your hoses smartly looking for fresh air you will be fine. it over 105 degrees here in summer and the ac works but not as efficient but it still works. i used bigger hoses on my ac so i could run longer lengths. i ran exhaust in 1...

    for practice get a box. hold open end to the ac and see how it lines up. cut the box to fit ait tight or as close as you can. use duct tape to seal it up. there is hardly any air pressure so it not going to be that hard. when you get it all sealed up and hardly any air comes out exhaust you can...

    your portabe will keep that room cold if you modify and do all other things by itself in the summer but it could labor if not modified. those things bring in almost as much hot air into a room as it puts cold air. if you run a comparison test. let the room get warm. cool it with unmodified ac...

    remember now that you sealed that room the portable ac is the only source of ac because the central air vent is closed. the cental air wont have to cool your grow the portable has to carry the entire load,

    do not take apart your ac read again. just mold a hose to the area the air is taken in from. just make sure thats the air for the condenser. the air for the evaporator has a filter.

    some fans do pull better but heat will shorten the fans life. google facts and comparisons on single and duel hose. the quality of your ac is not the question, i have 3 units 2 single that i converted after buying my duel and seeing the difference in performance and design. my converted ones...
