You can use a porto AC. Just remember you need to vent it outside still. They put out moisture.

cut out a hole into the wall (i hear that sometimes the hot moisture of an exhaust can ruin the space between the walls, but if your just renting....). use a carbon scrubber.

I will be using a laundry room so I will be venting thru a dryer vent. And as stated above all air being exhausted will be ran thru a 55lb carbon scrubber. So my new issue was cool air intake during winter months when the heat will be on. So I think I'm gonna be using a portable a/c.

Now make sure there's nothing in that room that a repairman might need access to at some point. Water meter, circuit breaker, power meter etc. The worst thing ever is when they show up with only 12 hours notice and say that they need to repair something in your laundry room and you've got it full of plants lights and ducting

Yeah the only thing in that room is the HVAC. I don't think they would need to service that unless I called. I know apartments changes filters on the regular but the compartment for that is in a totally different area, so I hope all would be good there. I couldn't find anything else that would look like it would need service in the room(Big empty room with HVAC in the corner, and a washer dryer hook-up). I kinda chose the apartment according to what I would be doing there.

I would recommend the closet as the place for mothers and clones, basic veg, and then a huge flowering room. With no windows have fun cutting holes into the dry wall. Easy to patch up when you move and paint as well.

You will need a huge carbon air scrubber and at least a 6 inch fan to suck all the air in the room through the filter then into the wall.

When I lived in a studio, I vented the closet into the large studio room. I put a picture over the vented hole and the air escaped through the veg. For smell, I just ran ozone every once in awhile (ozone not only removes the smell, but it makes the plants not smell at all for awhile).

Good luck man. It's way easier to just vent outside to a window and just make it look like an AC unit.

well during the winter why don't you just open a window?




Would you do that if you lived in Michigan? You would still want to heat the air before it reaches your plants. Unless the room has 2 windows in different areas which is doubtful in a 12x12' room I think there would be a problem with exhaust and intake in the same window/vicinity.

That doesn't really answer the question.

Do you open your windows in the winter in your grow room?
