Looks great. I use 2000w in a 4x8 space so I would use 4000w in your space. Good luck man cant wait to see your grow.

My room is close to yours I run just a dust filter outside one end and just exhaust to the other end so it goes. Dust filter-> into the room to the hood->inline fan-> out of room. Heats the basement a little and keeps my veg tent perfect.

But temps are cold here if you above I would say 65 degrees exhaust into a different area of your home. I was fighting heat when my basement was at 65-70 temp

thanks all , i threw in a desktop fan atm and its working good , but last night it was -20c outside and when my lights came on this am my temp gague read 19c lol and my bags were cold .. so i bought a space heater thats thermistat controled to throw in it . its not sealed yet , but it will be and im going to add a passive intake ... im thinking that if im not running a sealed room could i just use a filter inside the room , then to my lights then my vortex 8" and out to my basement ? the only reason im using a hps bulb is because my mh was in my other shade and it was too hot to switch my too hoods are wired for different ballists .. I am still planning on hooking up my electrical box this weekend hiboy , can i pm you if i have any issues ? I was also thinking of using a screen door with reflective plastic on it for my door , with 1 inch thick foam lined all around it and a hook with a turnbuckle to keep it tight against the frame ? think it willwork ? whats the best way to purchase co2 without raising any suspition ? I live in the north , not as free up here are it is in the states

Does the thermostat operate your house air or heat .. so your worried about the new heater spot gettin too hot? and the T stat not reading it there?

ah ok
ive installed those before.
IF you want to relocate your t stat to that room or at least closer to where the heater is,
A. intall box at existing t stat location if not already there, and wire nut the incoming wires,, the hot ones, to the ones that are the load....which go to the wires hanging out of the wall. Put a blank cover on that j box so noone grabs them,,
Now for the wires in your first pic you can
a. install the t stat where the wires are at
b. extend them to another location and install your t stat there
Then hook up the same style wire to the heater, from your t stat that u recently installed

Hey
For safety its wise to use a j box, incase a connection comes loose and it sparks out, main reason. You can flush mount it in the wall or just surface mount it if ya dont care about seeing it.
