anybody using a portable air conditioner

anybody have experience using a
DeLonghi (PACL90) Portable Air Conditioner. i guess you just keep the air going onto the room kinda cool around 73 or 74

No ac users out there

yo wt u growin then

What is the ? Bro? What am i growing in??????

Ive never hrard anything good about those "portable room coolers" ( the 100.00 ones that use ice water and dont need a vent ).. Everything ive read is that they SUCK..

i use one with a small attic grow. 10 by 10 or so. I went to home depot's sight then used there ac calculator then bought slightly bigger. I havent heard of your brand though, google reviews on it yet? I'm using kenmore.

this is a 600 dollar portable air cond. which does have a vent exhaust in which i will tye into my room exhaust. it doesnt have a drain because its really high efficiency and uses the wator vapor to cool. it also dehumidifies the air and filters it 3m style. i was wondering if i should put it in the bedroom that the grow room is enclosed in. here soon in april it will get hot in the upstairs bedrrom because i have no central air cond. in my house

oh and its 10,000 btu also with a digital thermostat. does your kenmore have a vent and where do u put it in the are in which u grow?

Oh.. I have no idea then lol.. When u saod "portable" I just assumed that u meant the crappy ones.. sry I cant help ya there.. AS those 500.00 ones are so far out of my price range I try not to even look at them lol.

it has a exaust vent, i started out by running it out my 8 inch exaust and carbon filter... but after an hour the squirrel cage exaust was getting so hot i rethought that and ran it out it's on 6 inch. Room has 6 400w's and it manages to keep up. It's suppose to dehumidify 60 liters a day too, but i found that was inaccurate and popped in a frigidair dehumidifier. I have 60 in flower, 6 mothers rotating through and clones, i've been pretty satisfied, i have it set at 75, it kicks in at 80 and brings it back to 75 quick, the room is insulated to so that helps. mines 1 1/2 ton. I run the exaust out into the attic which is ventilated at 2100 cfm's from there out behind the house. My ballasts arent in the room, i imagine if they were it wouldnt keep up but havent proven that.. nor want to lol. I wish i could be more helpful.

+ for you buddy. thanks for your input

i'm using a portable aircon in one of the rooms at the moment, the side the sun hits when it comes up... i've just got the exhaust ducting tied in after the carbon filter, and it puts cold air into the room the cube is in, then the cold air in the room gets sucked into the cube and goes from there...

its not an evaporative cooler, doesnt need water, it does drip into a tray that needs empying every 8-12 hours odd if its on maximum, but i'm going to setup an overflow for the little removable tray so it won't bother me again..

ive used it for some freakishly hot days, but generally i leave it on 19 degrees during lights off, ive found i've got noticeably denser & more crystal covered buds this way.. (although its not an issue in winter), its the peak of summer here at the moment though

hope this helps, regards

its like 40 here during the night right now but i will need it setup for the coming months

i use that shit more as an ionizer/dehumidifier.. and when the temps are low it does make them lower... but anything 78+ your right it's pretty pointless

its cold outside right now and the temps are staying just right around 76 all day. so it wont take much warm up to get this room to warm.....
