Hi all, I'm in the process of designing and soon to be building a new growroom. I have ordered or bought most of my growing gear, I just need to get down to building a suitable grow room.
My space is a spare bedroom, with two small closets, and 4 windows. I haven't measured the exact dimensions but that's not so much important as is the design I will be using, which is what I'm focusing on now. I would guess the room is somewhere around 10x10x8.
I've built a sketch up model of the room that will be used. While the dimensions are not exact, it is meant to merely show my intentions. What I need from you guys is any potential problems you see from this setup, or any tips you think would help.
The flower room will be a room within a room. Using 2x4's and black poly. Mylar will line the inside.
For ventilation I will have a 424 cfm inline fan which i believe might be enough to vent the lights and the room alone, but if not i also have a 265 cfm blower that could be used as well. The plan is to pull air through the lights in the flower room along with the air outside the flower room and up through the attic into a carbon filter. Cool air will be brought in through the window by the negative pressure in the flower room.
Lighting will be 2 400 watt air cooled hps for the flower room, and for veg, ~120 watts of t12 floros. I will have a oscilating fan in the flower room, and one small desktop fan in the veg room. For intake I will have a window cracked open, with a light diffuser of some kind over the window so that no light escapes. I'm still researching possible solutions to this problem, but any links would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help, and if I can get a hold of a camera I will post some pics of the build. I've used all the great threads from OG and IC to come up with design. Hopefully I can pull it off.
