would a 6000 btu window unit be suffice for a 70 sq ft room. I planned on getting a mini split or a bigger btu window unit, but I ran across this one and I can get it for practically nothing. Thanks for the help in advance.
AC in 70 sq ft room please Help. Thanks.

I used a 5500BTU in a 4-1/2 x 8 x 6-1/2 tent with 2 600W air cooled HIDs and its enough to keep it cool, but not dry enough. With a 70pt dehumidifier in there at least one is always running and humidity varies between 50 and 60%. (with 6 4ft tall plants and 85 outside temps.). It will keep it at 85 deg with uncooled bare bulbs (95 deg outside temps) but runs continuously. How much heat your lights put out is your biggest factor. It would be OK for maybe 800W of HID if the room is fairly airtight and the light is cooled separately.

As long as the unit is in good shape (freon level, etc...) then yes, that will fight the heat for your sq ft!

That's an "average" room. The heat load from the lights is more than the heat load from the room size. Something like 2000BTU for a single 600W lamp

I ran a 15,000 for a 6kwatt room 22x10x7. Worked great.
