This thread is to get experience and opinions on a semi-auto Hydro grow room, from equipment recommendations to "don't forget"s.
Ok. So I'm starting this off to get opinions from the masters (No trolls). I am moving form a outdoor SIP system that I've been successful at for years due the expansion and urbanization of my rural farm.
I am going to break this up into large elements to help with thoughts and questions.
Building:
- I am pouring the foundation this week, in which will be a dedicated 8' x 10' x 8' tall grow room. The room will be completely sealed and light proof with a plywood floor that I will probably epoxy (thoughts?).
- all outlets will be 20amp breaker with 12/2 wiring.
Hydro Set up:
- DIY current culture setup (see pic) with 4 planters (13 gallon containers) in a 30-32" Center to center, one entrance reservoir and a separate top off reservoir.
Equipment:
- Lights im looking at.
a) Science LED Raging Kush 2.0 (I love the fact I can customize lighting based on strain and get the most of my girls)
b) HLG Scorpion Diablo (Big power and great spectrum)
- Intake
a) I want to have an intake large enough to deal with the Exhaust CFM along with what is the best setup, heap filter, fan, silencer, etc?
b) Fan? Size?
c) Hepa Filter to stop contagions and contaminants.
d) Silencer?
e) Intake vent that is bug and light proof?
- Exhaust.
a) My measurements and taking into account the stress on the system with silencers, etc to need somewhere between 530-800 CFM
b) AC Infinity 8" inline exhaust gets good ratings and looks good plus has the 800 cfm. Thoughts?
c) Exhaust filter I'm looking at is the can-lite carbon filter in 8"x24".
d) need a good recommendation on a silencer that WORKS
- Fans:
a) Looking at 2 tornado wall mount fans
- Air:
a) Looking at the Air Force air pump with an 8 spot manifold
- Water:
a) I will be using tap water
b) What is the best water pump to be silent and move 70 gallons of water? How often does the water need to recirculate
- Control:
a) I have a bluely PH controller connect that I want to continue using
b) What is a great all around system controller for lights, fan, etc?
I know I am missing a bunch so lay it on or give me some advice on the above.
