Wall mount AC in a 240x200x120 tent

The brand is good, it already worked perfectly in the room with 12000BTU.

I just mounted inside the wall of the tent, but it doesnt cool down even a bit. Just blows like a regular fan.

What do you suggest to fix this? Investes too much already.

I cut the top of the tent so that the air circulates, also placed a fan to the top of the AC. No results.

What do you suggest my beloved, experienced grower friends?

Since we don't use AC hardly at all in my country it's not something I really have experience with.

But Google says they blow cold air down while the heat is sent through a wall? Is that right?

I take it you live in a very hot climate and are not extracting air the normal way with fan and filter?

What temperature is your room without this running?

What temperature is it when running?

What's the temperature outside at night?

Thanks for your reply Corey.

The AC worked fine before putting it into the tent. Now only blows ambient air without cooling even with the coldest settings

Like I say, shouldn't it blow hot air one way and cold the other??

Sounds to me like it's fucked

Could it be the refrigerant needs to settle?
Like a fridge, shouldn't be turned on for 24h after been moved

Damn you really did cut a giant hole in your grow tent, also it would make me nervous having that right above my lights and plants. As far as why it's not cooling no idea

You are not giving us much information.
Did you follow install instructions?

Oh my jeez.
A simple exhaust fan would've most likely solved your issue.
I bet you didn't need to cut that giant hole in your tent either.

You haven't given nearly enough info though

Is this mini split AC hooked up to a condenser outside?

Thanks for all valuable time and interest fellas.

Yes, it is a split ac. Donnow if it is mini. There is an outer unit.

I can easily fix the hole with fabric tapes. Just i wanna make sure to solve the issue.

This is a roof floor with extreme heat, even with the best fan the temperature wont go below 35°C for the next 4 months. Not the best place to grow, but i dont have any other option. Thats why i installed an ac
