However, all of the equipment needed to regulate this temperature- and humidity-controlled environment can create excess heat, which can stress out plants and reduce their quality and yield. If you want a cannabis grow room optimized for success, you are going to need a complete HVAC system. Our grow room HVAC guide breaks down the most important components of an indoor growing cooling system and how to find one that meets your needs. Air Conditioners Investing in an air conditioning system is a great step toward optimizing your cooling in your indoor garden, as long as you invest in the right unit. When shopping for an air conditioner, consider these common types of systems. Portable Air Conditioner Portable air conditioners are convenient and efficient and can be quickly and easily moved from one area to another. Their compact size makes them good for smaller grow rooms or grow tents.  Generally, there are two main portable unit types that include either one or two tubings.  We recommend investing in the units with two tubes since it will not bring the exhausting heat back into the room. Window-Mounted Air Conditioner Window-mounted conditioners are more complex to install than portable units. This type of AC can be attached through the wall or window in which half of the unit is exposed. A window-mounted conditioner is perfect for small to medium-sized gardens.  Mini-Split Air Conditioner Mini-split air conditioners are usually ductless units that come in two parts: one is the rectangular unit mounted on the wall and the other is connected outside to remove the heat and moisture during cooling. Multi-zone systems enable you to keep multiple rooms or “zones” cool at different temperatures. It can be a great choice if you plan on maintaining several grow spaces in your home or facility. Mini-split systems are more technically complex to install and may require professional installation. Only install these if you have a permanent grow room environment, not a portable or temporary one. Ceiling Mount Air Conditioner Ceiling mount air conditioners are good for rooms that don't have a lot of storage. These units work similarly to mini-split air conditioners but are mounted on the ceiling. Using these units could maximize your garden space. However, they may require professional installation which can increase overall upfront costs.  Commercial Grade Air Conditioning Unit Commercial grade air conditioning units are designed for large-scale facilities and can also work in greenhouses. Commercial systems are larger than other units and are typically mounted on top of a grow room facility. These will require professional installation and should be installed on buildings that can handle a commercial-grade air conditioner.  Fans A quality ventilation system will remove hot air from your garden to keep your plants cool and healthy. Consider investing in industrial-grade inline and oscillating fans to improve your control over the climate and save on electricity. Inline fans are in the ducting and remove hot and humid air from your indoor garden. Oscillating fans can be clipped onto grow tent poles or stood on the floor for better air circulation. Fans should create a gentle breeze around the canopy area, just above and below the plants. Pointing fans directly at a cannabis plant can increase the risk of damage. Fans are affordable investments that can bring in fresh air and reduce excess heat and humidity in grow rooms. Fans can work with the HVAC system and lower your overall energy costs. Dehumidifiers On top of the excess heat, grow rooms may experience excessive humidity which can make them feel hotter than they actually are. Dehumidification systems can help reduce the risks of mold or rot.   Always look for a large-space or whole-house unit. Smaller units do not offer the dehumidifying power needed for large grow rooms. In addition, invest in a hygrometer to check your grow room’s humidity levels. Read More At: growingexposed.com/air-conditioner-for-grow-room
