Sometimes things just come together...
I have my new house and the under the stairs space that I will make into a grow room. My soon to be wife loves that I have my own grow area for my hobby. :D I won the lottery...
I am measuring for space on walk through #1 on Sunday (April 1 its mine).
Right now my idea is to make the tent in the furnace room my veg/dryer and the space under the stairs into a flower room. The space is about 6 x 10 by 5 feet 3 but i will measure to be sure on Sunday. If it were 6 foot high it is 360 cubic feet.
The height in the furnace room is much taller and i may get a tall tent to fit the space (to veg and to run some of these 16 week flower seeds i want).
I will mold tough drywall the room, line it with mylar and put a light tight door on it. I have all of that stuff now.
We have a 4 plant limit and i want to max out those 4 plants.
I have the following lights to fuel things
Timber 2VL 3.5k 200 watts
True Northern samsung board 4k 238 watts
Growers Choice QB135 4k 135 watts
Citizen Cob fixture 4k 240 watts
315 CMH not sure if i can use it
due to the height requirement 315 3k and 4k bulbs
The QB135 will be my veg light in my tent.
I will sell the 4k cob fixture and get a 238 watt board in 3k
Total wattage 676 watts in the flower room unless i can run the 315 too then we hit 1k
I do have a couple of questions
1) I think i will put a dryer vent going outside to exhaust the room. Why not do it right. Do I need to run a scrubber? We are 4 plants legal. I can run a 6 inch vortex with a scrubber (i have them already)
Would a 4 inch dryer vent work with the 6 inch scrubber? (i have a reducer too).
I will run a 15 or 20 amp circuit depending on how the lighting can work. I am checking out the circuit box sunday and the space to see if i can fit 2 circuits 15 amps because i have the wire. :D It would be awesome if this worked out with stuff i have already.
I have a killawatt meter so i can measure where i am for max wattage when i am running with fans
15 amps gives me a max of 11 amps at 75% load (1300 watts is under that)
I will have more questions.....
