I have to agree re: The carpet.
Carpet often holds mould spores that build up over years, all that those spores need is a drop of water to flourish. Some spores can survive hundreds of years, dormant, until they get that drop of water. One little blockage or one little flood and ohh shit... ...In a grow room that's not what you want.
Another point I'd like to mention is about using the water from an a/c. It can be done BUT it has to be carefully monitored. Excess water from an evap a/c is REALLY high in salts as the evap system evaporates the pure water to keep you house cool, leaving the high concentrated salts in the a/c's reservoir. If the over flow water from that reservoir is used, the salts will kill most plants. (Some cactus' and saltbush can handle it OK, but most plants don't like it at all.)
Now, you say the Youtube guy uses water from a split system. Split systems use a refrigerant gas and the condensate from the fins is pure water, no salts whatsoever. If using store bought nute mix, the manufacturers usually take into consideration that most people use treated tap water. This tap water already has a level of salts in it and the manufacturers tend to compensate for that by adding less of those specific salts. If you use the condensate or pure water and store bought hydro nutes, often your plant maybe missing out on those specific components that are in tap water.
But that grow looks ripper. I like :lol:
Just a bit of advice
