So I finished my room
3x6x8 fully insulated and a smaller space for young-ins
figured while at it, I would update my old ventilation too
My house is very old 1957 and when I got to looking I saw where a few dollars spent now would pay off.
Much to my surprise my payoff was more than I thought.
By finishing off the attic in foam board and rolling out some 4" before I laid down $90.00 worth of 1x4x8 flooring then adding the two new ducts with variable fans all from Home do-your-self
I was able to do much more than I thought and all it took was one day.
The big 20x30 boxed vent pulls more air than I will ever need 200 cfm to 900 or better with a regular filter and two carbon filters how can I go wrong.
The Little room has a 8" pulling 180 cfm
Now its not perfect but for the last month I have been testing out what I have and I must share.
In the 3x6x8
72-78 w/fan on Low and T5 6 bulb Plus all the other basic Veg lights Thats not bad right?
I am using a RDWC system a small rack for others and room for storage under neath where I keep my Nutes.
With the lights running 18/6, the added insulation, and vents my power bill went from 210.00 average to 147.00.
I can see a 600 MH/HPS in my future..
