OK, so I have this small area that I am turning into a grow room, the total area of the room will be around 250 cubic feet. The area that will be usable for the grow will be closer to 165 Cubic feet. The room will be completely sealed for the benefit of Co2 Enrichment via pressurized tank/regulator. As far as heat producing devices we are only talking about 1000 watt HPS, and probably 600 watts T5. A guess would place that pretty close to 5,000 BTU's when they are all on.

What are my best options for keeping things cool?

I noticed that all portable A/C units have a venting tube to cool the device. (Venting Atmosphere from the room is what I am trying to avoid)

How viable is running a portable evaporative cooler in combination to a dehumidifier? (Take into consideration where I live, year round has a relative
humidity of 50%-65%)

I saw there are those small split system A/C, but the ones I have seen start around $1,200. And that would strain my budget a little too much.


Any Ideas? Advice?



Thank you
