[-C@jun-]

Ty fellas. Appreciate all the advice and time zem and LeftHand.

This morning I had to go back to that declined order that I placed for that fan due to my card being stolen and canceled. Give them my wife's card info. Damn a/c exhaust made it like a oven in my veg/pc room. So now I need the fan to exhaust the heat coming from the back of the unit. I don't know what the temps were because I only have one gauge but it was hot like 85F with door closed. I can't leave door open 24/7 because I don't want light leaking out hall window until 12pm or 6am before there is light outside. Ironic if its not one thing its another.

WELCOME to growing lol.. thats sucks.. your exhaust should be going outside from the A/C no?? might be a sign saying get rid of the A/C hehehe...
dont forget to keep us updated C@jun.. shes looking good so far.. just need to do the minor details.. hell.. im still changing things here and there in my grow..

Rgr. No I have the a/c in my temp wall not hanging out window. The window points to the road about 20ft. away. With the potheads around here they would know what was going on if they saw the light. Plus the law is always going to back of neighborhood for these trouble makers. Has to be stealth.
BTW my neighbor grows I have been seeing HPS light leaking through her siding and 3 4" holes on the interior wall i'm guessing. I wish we got along but she is noisy.

you should say something if you noticed her grow then someone else might that may get you busted.. just run it by her and be like you have an ornge light leaking through hehehehehe pothead lol.....

why didnt you build a lil box around your a/c and conect hose to it to ven out of room insted of buying another fan?????

Yeah maybe I should tell her. I have cussed her out because her trash blows all over my yard and she will not even come pick it up. Just leaves it strung everywhere.

I guess I didn't think of that LH I should of pm'd you for advice. I have to pop a hole for the exhaust anyway. At least the fan is only 25$$. I can still do that and leave the fan to help pull the air huh?

yeah.. your next door lady there sounds like mine lol.. except for the growing part lol...
if your gonna box of the a/c make dont take it to fit of coarse i would make it some what bigger.. or just make a something to connect to the exhaust and pipe it out... still allow the a/c to do the pumping without having the whole a/c covered up. just the top half or bottom half which ever vents out.. then you could bypass it out of your room.. if need be you could add the 25$ duct fan???? in the middle to aid in the suction and removal of the a/c air from the ducting.. help prevent any back presure.. hope this helps..

Well I would just box the back of the ac because the top and sides of the rear section are intakes they suck air through them into fan and through coils in back of unit.

I got this crazy idea. Get a heavy duty yard trash bag duck tape it around rear of unit other end run ducting in tape up. A bag because it mists when it first comes on and wood would rot. What ya think otherwise it would have to be aluminum and to have a aluminum box custom made may be a little pricey. Hopefully the fan right up close to the coils will do if we can't brain storm a idea.

black and whit polly rather then a bag.... make yer own tin box.. lol rivets light gauge.. silicone...
i dont think its good for the a/c to be bring in the air its putting out.. but i dont know to much on a/c that way hehe.. wood paint it.. that will make it last longer for the rotting part.. you'll wanna be carefull that it doesnt suck the bag or polly in and start a fire or just burn up yer a/c.. but we are on the right path i think to have you rollin.. my problem is my tent is empty .. thats my biggest problem.. lol sucks... wrkin on er.. lol
but you can do this several ways.. quick and easy.. for the mean time that is... or a lasting way.. take the lasting route.. may take a bit more but in the long run you'll be like im glad i did it..

make a tester out of wood just too see scaps if have any laying around.. if she works out good.. then go buy some latex paint...

i wouldnt go through all this trouble, i guess your overkilling, i know the feeling, your planning too many things and your stoned and crazy ideas start coming and they dont end. doesnt your a/c have its own exhaust fan? cant you just duct it? use insulation on the duct of the a/c exhaust since it will becom hot and radiate the heat back in your room. did you make sur that theres a good airflow? the a/c fan would blow a decent amount of exhaust i suppose

i think his problem is that its just sucking from his veg room then exhausting back into his veg room.. he needs to cut the exhaust off the a/c and pipe it somewheres out of the house or an applicable area..

if you build a box around you will need a drip tray if you a/c spitz at yas lol..... something that you can put in the bottom of the box to catch the moisture and that is easy to dump and put back in..
really if you think about it all not that much trouble.. the bagging of the a/c may be a pain but once a box is fabbed your laughing...
comon cajun what else ya got for ideas...

Spiritlove.. hes letting her know he can see her grow.. so if he can see it how many others can see it.. ... if she is being watched or gets busted that brings the risk or chances of cajun having a slip up and the same happening to him.. she dont need to know shet bout him.. other then he's a decent guy and wants her to know he can see her op..

What is happening is its sucking air through the vents on the side and top of unit from veg area and blowing the air over the coils to cool coolant and out of back of unit where that air is hot and heating up my veg room. It only mists when first kicks on out of coils(rear of unit). She hasn't started dripping yet but it's only a matter of time(condensation). I have a drip tray to catch that. On the drain hole of the unit under belly pan I have a 5/8MNPTx1/2 barb I plan to run a hose through floor so I don't always have to dump pan. It still will mist because there will always be water in belly pan when fan kicks on it sprays just a mist only when it first comes on at 6am.

Zem I have been sober since December 8th big bummer and my ideas aren't there without Mary Jane. Feb. 9th I get off papers and I will have my creativity back. In the meantime I need you and LH to brain storm for me.LOL

LH I will look into the tin idea I like it. Tin would take a long time to rust. Just get another barb fitting and put that in fabbed box and tie into my other drain line. What would I do without yall. I would be lost! My brain doesn't function without the chebba. Your right if your going to do something do it right. At least thats what my dad always told me and it has never failed.

dude just to let you know that i fried my favorite mother plant on a hot summer not dried out no it just overheated to death cuz i ran my dehumidifier in flowering chamber and exhausted through vegging chamber then outside, lesson learned the hard way, now i ALWAYS vent the other way, from veg into flower then outside

then he would be at sq 1 again.. just adding excess heat into the flower room. wheres if he built the box used insulated ducting. added the duct fan to assist in the removal of the air in the ducting there shouldnt be a problem.. theres constint air flow.. then the duct fan can be on a timer timed 5-15mins after the a/c shuts off...... just to push any hot air left out..

i have never been so confused with planning venting of a lil space lol

 

[-C@jun-]

That is a a/c window unit not a dehumidifier. I'm using it to cool my flower room. The vents on the side and top of the unit intake air and pass the air over the coils in the rear of the unit to cool the coolant. The air passing over the coils is then hot. Heating up my veg room. LH was helping me find a solution on removing the exhaust from the rear of the unit that passes over the coils and is hot out of the room.

does any air come out the top and sides or just striaght out the back...
if straight out the back then all i think you have to do is extend the back some... and pipe it out from there...make a 2x4 frame around the a/c leaving the top and side vents open.. then having the seal around the back.. extend it out a 1foot hook ducting to it and that should fix er...

Wow,.. good call Left hand! Hope all is well,.. Good day! Clearly,.....Crystal

 

[-C@jun-]

Yes LH just out of the back. I figured that. The box is going to have to be small or the rivet gun will not be able to tac the ducting plate. I got a pretty good idea now. Will keep posted.

Again thanks appreciate the time.
