So the unit is 10”x40”? I have like no where on my walls to put that I just measured the only place is like 8’ from the wall Id put the hole and outdoor unit.

Id have to remove the tv or put it over my head where I sleep and it may cause an acoustic effect to that room on the other side.

Would be doing it just for a few hours each morning just for summer so I guess thats an example of why hvac guy didnt entertain that idea and agreed with basement grow. Not to be lazy probably because it made the most sense.

Im slowly moving myself out of my room lol not the tv!! About to remove the stand below it and leave it wall mounted for more grow space. So Id lose my tv unless other option.

Thats crazy I just realized even if I wanted to grow in basement, I done made more flower square footage than I can make downstairs ATM with my allowed space which I do need for the pressing.

Im working on 34 square ft flower space where downstairs Id only have 20, no more reasonable space left for a tent bigger than a 2x2.

So Im using half that space to press which is really needed, then a 3x5x6 veg tent and its reservoirs which is what opens more flower space in my room.

I just didnt know how to maximize my situation until now, now that Im getting intermediate with my grow skills. Heck I was genuinely doubted I could get 16oz in the 2.5x5, I got 14 last run and 12 first try.

Thats why I like when they say mileage varies everyone is on their own journey lol.




Oh wow Ive seem those, idk how well they perform but that would probably be what would have to be used in my bedroom. Curious how it works, Id think a refrigerant line would go to the indoor unit somehow. Is it through the tubing?

Installing it would take professional help for sure, idk where the hole in the indoor/outdoor wall would go. Like I just got done rambling, it may be worth it.

I just ran 2 of those in my grow rooms. I have 2 more slated for later (it's too hot now to do much in my attic). Here's a single zone of the Mr.Cool 27k 3 zone I installed

You have a compressor fan with the refrigerant outside on the wall. You run your refrigerant, suction and condensate lines from the outdoor compressor to the indoor units. It's a fiddly install you might need some help with but if you can do a little electrical and basic dry wall work you should be golden. It's changed my grow 100%

This is the wall cassette I have in my multi room it's 18k and cools all the grows in the lung room. But I hate the form factor on the wall.

So in my flower room I went with a ceiling cassette so as not to have to mount the humback whale above, on my wall.

Both are running right now and the only way I know is the swinging louvers. Otherwise it is completely silent in the room.

I'm in the Mojave Desert. So usually the summer was ark mode for me where I just muddled through. I grew through the installs but I'd have been smarter and quicker to stop. So I think you're on the right track.

I in fact am pretty sure the hvac guys that were here can help answer any questions and install it, dry walling and etc is part of what they do aint it? I know they dont just hire someone to do the structural work aside with them but possible.

But yea itll only get a little hotter using hotter lights but these buds just speak for themselves. Cant imagine using even better lights.

For 3 months, fall winter and spring its cool enough to use outside air. The hottest its gotten this season is like 92F if any hotter its a heat wave and making records.

When making my workshop I wonder if its better a closed system or both venting out and cooling. I think same thing would apply and it would be a closed system.

Probably one or two of those mini split things. I wonder how people do theirs in a workshop.
