I had no real room in my house to grow like I wanted to. The one or two grows I started with had me hooked and hooked hard. I am retired and back in collage working on my Biomedical research classes and I no longer live on the VA medications. Herb has seen me through some of the hardest times and best times of my adult life but if I am to remain in this state of wellbeing I need a space I can control environmentally. The Attic is all I have left.
I know some of you will be rolling eyes and saying no way to beat that heat. But I needed to try.
HOW I Did IT:::: w/Pics
· 1st clean everything and bug bomb. Then clean again . in case u missed that one spot you clean again. Then add eve vents screen’s and clean..
· AIR IS CRITICAL RIGHT? Mass air movement in and out with noise not being a concern I came up with the unit in the pictures 220v air handler 8 and 12 duct for the veg/clone and flower area. Mounted and wired with 3 speeds set on low at this time.
· Full clean fumigated screened vents and insulated floor, vapor barrier laid then *OSB* flooring waited 2mnths as the shit to off gas (OSB stinks) painted then covered with plastic.
· Moved to the roof with 6’ rolled r-19 1st Then covered all of that with TempShield Single Bubble Foil/Foil Insulation then 1/2" Foil Faced Insulation Panel. A roll of black-N-white plastic Then reflective Mylar for the finish.
· I built a light trap on north facing eve to draw fresh air Filtered of course and also drawn air from the living room via the 34x48 filter plate that I also installed in the ceiling of the pantry closet (Veg/Clone room)
· I figured bigger area was better so I have the room made 12x12 for better control
· Now as far as the air in/out I use a single 8” Kool tube with a 1000w Hortilux Super hps and Lumatek. This site draws so much air I pulled the 2” framing and plastic wall down when I had it running and all sealed up way too much negative pressure I have that all fixed now. Twin 18’ fans move air in the room the ballast and all gear is outside the room. Two separate monitors to make sure things are good I also ran separate 20amp outlets.
· The plan is to run 6 or 8 small, bushy Stadium. Style. That’s where I’m at and so far I couldn’t be more pleased.
· Lights are 12/12 on at 9pm off at 9am so I can take advantage of the cooler night . so far I am 68-72 all day and no shit I run 68 all night at 40-50% RH
· 60/40 coco/hydroton DTW Jacks Pro once every other water at 5.7 PH
· I make tea and add mg or Ca if I see the need
· I believe in Caps beanies and had a buddy trade me some and sea green a few other goody's have helped this plan to materialize.
· Now I need to cull and hope I don’t run out of space.
· Room has been in operation for 30 days so far so good
Wish me Good Vibe and tell me what you would add or ? No need for a scrubber but CO2 Maybe?
