Hello Farmers!
So it's been a blast using a 4x8 tent and a 10x10 tent for the past 4 months but...... The construction of my Sealed room is almost at a finish.
Here is a run down on the room-
-8 1K HPS
-8 Agrotech NON-air cooled Reflectors
-4 3x6 flood trays
-12k + 24K BTU Mini-Split Units (Price is cheaper to split it up like this for me)
-4ft Carbon Filter with 10"MaxFan for Scrubbing
-C02 Bottled System
-6 20w Speakers playing reggae on a timer for Daytime play only, lol
the room is 14 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 7 3/4, and had to be completely built. This space is in my basement and it was just dirt when i started.
First i had to put in a subfloor using quickcrete tubes as support instead of leveling out the dirt and puring concrete.
Next step was laying 6 mil vapor retard plastic over the floor, and then plywood, then the walls construction.
After i got all the walls built i put another layer of 6 mil plastic up, then some panda paper i had laying around for the perimiter. as you can see i also built a few tables for the flood trays, and i put a tray/res/ 2 reflectors in for placement and sizing purposes.
last but not least, veg... this area is 10 x 6 1/2 and you have to walk threw it to get to the bloom room. 2 2x4's sharing 1 25 gal res, 4ft 8 Bulb T5 for newly transplanted babies, then moved to the second tray under 400w HPS to MH conversion bulb before bloom, 2 weeks under each light.
Next step is getting these mini- split AC units installed. they should be delivered sometime this week and before i set them up i'm gonna have to run a 120 sub panel from upstairs in the house to the basement so i can get all my outlets in with no problems, plus each AC calls for it's own DEDICATED power line so without overloading my upstairs panel, this is my only option! what fun huh? i will also be building a new light controller "Box" if you will, right now im using a CAP 8 light controller box w/ timer but the relays in this thing suck! it maxes out at 6k watts when it's setup for 8. more on that to come.
hoping to be up and running in about 2 wks if all goes well. i will document only the construction and the way i went about building this room, there will be another thread in the diaries section for the growing part. please direct your "Growing" questions to that thread in the coming wks!
thanks!
