Hey yall! Ive asked this question on another forum, but ima just repost it here to see what yall beautiful people think.

So my friend and I are planning a small grow. We are converting a room into a 4-6 light closed loop grow. The room is approx 14x18 or so with a height of about 10 ft. I was planning on doing a giant grow tent but height is an issue since I plan on using gavitas so instead we may just build it up with wood or something (would like ideas on constructing that aswell from yall if you dont mind throwing your 2 cents in.) My question is what kind of ac unit and how much electricity would I be using? Im thinking a 22000 btu unit but still unsure. What kind of dehu and c02 burner would be needed aswell? Anything that I should expect or prepare for as to not have fucked up grow from the veterans on here? As far as growing I can do kickass fucking job, but for setting up im clueless. Any help would be eternally grateful. Much love yall and looking forward to starting this veture successfully with all your help/input.

Hey I’m no expert by any means but I have some experience with the tents just build it up with wood the open space helps. Plus the head rooms nice I just built a room in my basement studded up a wall and put up plywood for the wall lockable door and I am happy. Even with a cool tube and such I had too many heat issues in a tent which then made stretching problems. I kept the tents in the room for veg and I bloom in the center. Just my 2 cents hope it helps and good luck.

1 watt = 3.14 btu. figure out how many watts you're putting in, then you'll know how big an ac you need to take it out. remember to count your lights, your co2 generator if you get a burner unit, and what your dehu puts out. then add at least ten percent. a 22000 btu unit would deal with about 7,000 watts worth of heat
