However, coastal Northern California, with it’s constant cool breeze coming off the ocean most of the year, is far more favorable from an economic stand point. It would cost a lot less to cool a grow op there, and simply opening some windows would do a big part of the cooling job.
I would bet a dollar that indoor growers in Alaska, in winter, do not have to use AC to cool their grow op, within reason.
Well, in a mild climate you might get away with opening the windows and using a lot of fans. In Alaska, it would be too cold for that I think. We’re talking about tropical plants, so if the temperature drops too low, that is going to ruin them as well.
