So I’m not able to install a window ac in my place as it’s rented, plus the grow area doesn’t have a window in it. I have a timber stud wall Inside a room in the apartment, I was wondering if I could build the unit into the grow room wall? I know they are not designed for this but has anyone done this at all? I know the main problem would be the hot air coming out the back not being expelled outside like it’s supposed to but I was thinking I could build a box with an extractor fan and ducting to take it outside.. any input would be great

What’s the ambient air temp of the room you plan to grow in?

If ambient air temp of the area you plan to intake air from is around 20C then there’s not need for AC unless your running +1000w of lighting.

Just get a Whytner dual hose portable, and duct that out.
