are you using that generator to supply power constantly or just in case situations?? i was looking into a natural gas generator but im not sure about all that yet.

This will be my first experience with DE lights. Hopefully I can balance the heat output at 1150w and the environmental controllers. I'll run lights during nighttime since this the the coldest time up here. During lights off I'll have to supplement with some electric heaters.

The generator is a propane run backup only. We lose power a lot here in southern Maine. It's way cheaper to power this grow with grid power. Next year if I have enough saved up for a detached garage shop build I'll try to get commercial power out to it. Electricity is much cheaper this way.

Coming along nicely. I set my guardian probes at 1" from bottom of res.

I had to contact bluelab because I didn't know the probe could be fully submersed at the bottom of the res I will be using a 275 gallon IBC Tote

If you use dehumidifiers you might not need space heaters at lights off. I use no added heat in my unheated barn in Michigan. The dehueys keep it in the mid to upper 60's lights out and I run my lights during the day.

I've got one of these I planned for dehuey. Hopefully it's enough.I've had it for years and I like to reuse or go cheap when I can

So I'll be running gg4 in the first run. I'll use it to test and tune. Picked up some clean cuts today and I'll start multiplying them out over the next few weeks. I'll run 4x per light.

The turkey colony was out when I got back from Lowes. Must be 20-30 of em. They don't even budge now when I walk around outside.

I decided I'm going to do 1" foam on the ceiling before sheathing then I'm going to bow in cellulose on top. Probably a good 18" or so

This looks awesome! Congratulations on your new home and build. I am stoked to see the ducting you are using to vent/circulate room air with your carbon filter. Im running a sealed room right now that I want to be able to vent a few times during lights out and will be installing a very similar setup with my carbon filter/circulation fan and the wye fitting with the powered valve on it. Good luck!

Usually the turkeys are no where to be seen during hunting season around my house. All other times I am chasing them all over.

We've got plenty of deer and turkey here that's for sure. They've raided the remnants of the previous owners garden out back.

I am contemplating putting a few hvac return grills on the interior garage facing wall where I can utilize to standard central ac filters for intake air into the room. Maybe put them low on the wall so the air flow pattern sucks in low and carries heat upward toward the carbon scrubber. The intake air will get pulled in from the non insulated portion of the garage. The air will have to make it in from the soffits lining the garage roof. This kind of makes the uninsulated portion of the garage a non sealed lung room where the humidity is a few point lower than that of the fresh air from outside.
