Well then..........been wanting to start a new thread to document my adventures at my new grow spot.
Room breakdown is as follows: I have a whole basement to work with. I'm only using part of it as the grow, and the rest is for supplies, and a work area. The entire "grow area" is a room about 15 ft. wide and 30 ft. long. I split that area into 2 flower rooms
(7 1/2 ft. x 14ft) each. The rest of the area is my mother/veg room.
Each flower room has 2k hps, that are air cooled. I'm doing a perpetual flip room as well. Just started to flower the first room 3 days ago, so I have about 4 weeks before the other room needs to be flipped.
I have a 30,000 btu vent-less propane heater for heat and free co2. As of now, I have air from the veg area(where the heater/co2 air comes from) being dumped into the flower room 24/7. Temps in all the rooms stay right on point. Veg room stays between 73-77 degrees. Flower room never gets above 81 during lights on, and drops to 68 at the lowest when the lights are off.
It is a sealed room, but......the air I use from outside to cool the lights, get's pushed thru a carbon filter and that filter sits in the veg area. So there's fresh air for the heater to use, and I'm not poisoning the plants because of incomplete combustion.
I really couldn't ask for a better environment. The plants are growing great........
