Nice endeavor, I'm glad I stumbled across this one. This will sure be a sight when it's all up and running.

i would rock some epoxy paint vs. that kilz.. killz will still let moisture thru, plus eventually it starts to chip off like a bastard..especially if your going to be vacuuming a lot..

^This^ Whatever you do make sure there are multiple coats. You're not going to want to do it again.

Excuse me but I'm pretty sure a large majority of units come precharged and almost all have "quick connect" AKA flared fittings. What is the big deal? Mr. Slim is the best you can buy and it has both. I know nothing about HVAC besides the little research I did leading up to the install and its been running perfectly.

All minis are "pre charged" its just the DIY rip off units that advertise as "pre-charged"
The daikin I have came with a flared nut too. It leaked and then got welded on!
Those DIY units that have flex on their linesets are a disaster waiting to happen.
Ive owned one

Thanks acridlab, I had not considered the possibility of chipping. I'm going to pick up a few gallons of expoxy floor paint from Home Depot today.

It will eliminate or significantly reduce paint fumes and harmful off gassing of the paint as it dries and cures. This will also help your plants out when it comes time to have them in there. They won't be exposed to anything and ultimately you won't either in the finished product.

I went with what was in stock at the store. The film i used is 6 mil, and I used white duck tape to seal all of the seams.

Make sure you clean the floor as well as you can for best epoxy adhesion. As clean as you can get it before you apply the epoxy. A good epoxy floor is awesome.

Not enough. I run 6k and I have an Phoenix dry max industrial de-huey, and a 70 pint as an added backup. There's about 3 weeks in early flower where both can't keep up.

I hung 15 of the 18 hoods today. I had purchased 16 rope ratchets because I though I had two sets but I couldn't seem to find them amongst my supplies. Out of the 16 sets I purchased I had half of one set fail. Thankfully the other rope held and I was holding the hood so it didn't fall. I'm am going back to the store tomorrow to swap out my broken light ratchet and pick up the two I forgot. The electrician is coming tomorrow morning to run the 80 amp line to my light controller and a few other additional outlets that I need. Once I have the lights running I will put down my final epoxy floor and switch on all the lights to help the floor cure for two days; and to also pressure test the room and all of its components at maximum stress.
