Hey man. I’ve been playing around with the AC numbers, and I think I’ll need 24,000 BTUs in each of the veg and flower rooms, and 12,000 in the drying/processing container.
I have a question on the mini-splits. I’m assuming that 2 12,000 BTU wall mount units attached to a 24,000 BTU base unit will push 24,000 BTUs into the room. Is that a correct assumption, and if it is, would it be better to put 2 12,000 BTU wall mounts along the wall of each container, or a single 24,000 BTU wall unit mounted on the end wall? It seems like having 2 spaced down the wall would be better, but I don’t know that.
On the dehumidifiers, I figured it at 1.5 gallons a week, which came out to 108 PPD. I’m looking at one Quest Dual 110 in each of the veg and flower containers, and a Quest 70 in the drying area.
I was surprised about the ProGuard, I figured they’d be thousands each. You use those correct? I really don’t like mold and shit man. If they worked, it’d be worth the money to me. Have you ever used the Cannatrol curing system? It sounds kinda like a dehumidifier to me, but I’ve read reviews where people were raving about it.
What do you use for benches? I’ve been looking at the Botanicare Sliding Bench System. I like the idea of being able to slide it over to maximize the space, but they aren’t cheap. DIY is always an attractive option, but I’m constructionally challenged, so the outcome is never certain.
Here are some drawings of the layout. I did it on a program I don’t know how to use very well, so it’s just walls, and a couple of 3Ds, but it could give you an idea of where I’m going with it.
Thanks for your help @dewb, and please speak up if you see any obvious problems.
