I'm going to start a grow room soon and would like some advice. Is it possible to use the materials below in a typical 8h x 15L x 11w bedroom with 4x4 tent. Bedroom temps are around 70-80 summer and winter. Pics of room are below. I will be exhausting out a 2nd story window, and intake will consist of ice box, water cooled coil fans, and 1 central air vent. Is 7' tent to tall for 4 AK47 plants in 5 gallon bucket? Lastly, the central air vent, and potential window for exhaust is shown in the attached pictures, is it enough air flow? Or is an additional portable ac unit needed? I plan on ordering the following...
  • 600w Eyehortilux hps
  • 4'x4'x7'-6' I Power grow tent.
  • 4" 140 cfm Phresh intake filter
  • 4" 171 hurricane incline fan
  • 6" phresh carbon air filter 400cfm
  • 6" 315cfm hyper incline W/Fan controller (for exhaust)
  • 6" non insulated ducting
  • 6" Aired cooled hood Apollo w glass reflector
  • Apollo purple reign 600w Dimmable
  • plastic window kit for portable ac unit/Stealth
  • apollo drying rack
  • Dehumidifier
  • Titan temperature controller
  • Multiple Fans with copper coil water cooling
  • Homemade AC Indoor ice box
  • Strain: 4 Ak47 in 5 Gallon buckets
  • Nutrients:Undecided
  • Soil:Undecided

Summertime temps without anything creating heat are already too high. Where do you intend to exhaust? And why the tent?Just curious if you have access to the room. It is a heat issue.

Minisplit - even if you rent. It's the answer as you can take it with you......short of that - Portable AC and I only use Tripp Lite server room units - The most effective, trouble free portables available.

AK's are sativa dom = 1K light

To Tall? HELL NO - to short......You might consider 3 gallons for 4 plants in a 4x4. You'll save on soil....

Don't skimp of Nutrient.....Canna or Hesi for soil - if that is a financial burden - go with Dyna grow Foliage Pro start to finish....Have a Ca/Mg on hand and I suggest a Silica supplement be used.

The intake on the furnace where the air is filtered - INSTALL A HEPA FILTER or have never ending PM issues......I suggest you bring in your equip and set up. NO plants yet. Rent a sulfur burner and give the room a treatment.....Beat PM before it starts!

I would exhaust out of the window, and i plan to use a homemade ac unit called "Ice box" with "water cooled coil fans" google it. The tent is for light leakage because i plan to run my lights at night when its most cool. I also mentioned before i have central air in the room so i will place my intake fan and filter next to the ac vent and "Ice Box" homemade ac unit.

Your central won't due much unless the thermostat is in there.

Could portable ac work and if not do you have any suggestions for heat control? I have money to buy any product so any suggestion would be appreciated. Pictures of room and dimensions are posted above. How would you setup a grow in the room?

A portable will work fine, like I said.......Tripp Lite server room rack portables are the best choice out there for reliability.

The 12K floor roller is like $580 at walmart.com


Yeah, sure, why not...

Hell yea...The server room ac is perfect for my situation, so ima buy it until I have more options. I Really want the mini split ac setup, and i have money for it, but I cant cut holes in the walls... Unless their is another way for mini split without cutting or drilling.

MAKE a window mounting board for the minisplit yourself! Wood (painted) or Plastic like Lexan work fine!
Your going to do one to mount an exhaust anyway right?

The Tripp Lite works fantastic as it puts the RH it reduces right out the exhaust. The other nice thing is it's easy to make a perm wall exhaust for it as it's a 6" tube!
