Two rooms on flipped schedules, cooling solutions?

Hey, I'm building out a new environment, and I'm trying to determine the most effective way to cool both sides. I'm going to have two 8x12 rooms on alternating schedules. One side is going to have 3x 315LEC and the other side is going to run 3x 650W Gavita. Is it going to be possible to cool both rooms with a single AC with some creative duct work? Or will I have to get a couple individual units and just exhaust out?

Yeah, I tried to delete the thread when I came across that, but couldn't get it done. Figured that was the best option as well. I've also decided to run one room of Gavita and one of COB to run a side by side comparison.... I'll be posting that journal when everything is rocking.

I just gotta figure out how big the final room will be, and how many lamps I'll be using to figure out the final demands. If I have 4 lamps on the Gavita side, I'll need at least 16k for that side.

I would go with the 24k btu, open hoods need about 6k btu per light vs. cooled hood which is around 4k btu per light. Then calculating in the dehumidifier, co2 and other heat as well...

You could also set it up as a duel use. Either sealed or I can run fans/filter. That way if I run out of CO2 or my AC has issues:cuss:I can revert back to the old in and out with filter. I also can eliminate the dehumidifier by setting my fans to come on if humidity spikes ( when sealed), this way I only lose a little CO2 and I am not cooling another 700+ watts. You also don't want to run 1500 ppm of CO2 the last week.
