I used durafoam insulation board. It comes already reflective and is very cheap.At the moment I'm only on my second grow using standard equipment in a tent inside a single brick dwelling... Obviously not gonna be able to create the perfect climate all year round. So I've been thinking of trying to do a sealed room setup. I was gonna put a 50mm layer of rockwool insulation with fireproof plaster board after doing so my room size would be 1.8m,1.5m,2.0m with a bit of room for equipment. Would this be enough protection from the outside world And is it possible in such a small space???
Looks goodI used durafoam insulation board. It comes already reflective and is very cheap.
You will need a dehumidifier, humidifier, AC, heater and CO2 supplementation with controllers to do so.

Thanks for advice. Not bothered how much it cost I grow for the love of the plant and culture not money.If price is a concern and you already have a room or structure dedicated to it, you could order a roll of Panda film from Amazon or something and use it to line the floor, ceiling, walls of your grow room. I think the stuff I got was about 6 mil thickness and 10f x 100f for about 80 bucks per roll shipped.
Okay thanks I'll look into other institutions now I know that it'll be thick enough.The insulation should be fine. I chose rigid insulation because it's easy to seal and a vapor barrier that's not going to absorb water
I think it comes up to 4" thickOkay thanks I'll look into other institutions now I know that it'll be thick enough.
Take a look at the R value of the insulation. The most I would recommend is R-19. Insulation is graded by R Value. There is information on the web about R value, but basically the rigid insulation, polystyrene and polyurethane have higher ratings for the thickness. Traditional insulation is spun glass fibers.I think it comes up to 4" thick
Yeah my house is set to 69F and the basement is colder. I use 3/4" and a tiny 300w heater that never comes on unless its lights out. I have no issue controlling the temps whatsoever. Its washable, joints are easily sealed with foil ducting tape and no risk of mold or water absorption.Take a look at the R value of the insulation. The most I would recommend is R-19.

If you are seeing 32 in winter you could go higher, like R30.Thanks for the advice.. here it's around 32F on average in winter some times lower. In Sumner it gets upto around 80F. That's why I want to make sure it's properly insulated.
Thanks again... And do you think a 9000 BTU mini split would be enough to cool in summer?If you are seeing 32 in winter you could go higher, like R30.
what size is the room and what kind of lights are you running?Thanks again... And do you think a 9000 BTU mini split would be enough to cool in summer?
It'd be 1.5m,2.2m,2.0m and I was planning on using 4 gn telos 0008s which are 240w each.what size is the room and what kind of lights are you running?
Basically a 5' x 7' x 7' room. 9000 BTU will be fine. From what I know if I was going to seal up the room, run CO2 and dehumidifier and humidifier I might consider a bigger unit, but that is just because I would rather have it last.It'd be 1.5m,2.2m,2.0m and I was planning on using 4 gn telos 0008s which are 240w each.
When I've looked at insulation i can't find any that are R-19 .. I found one that said R-Value: 43m2K/W Will that be okay?Take a look at the R value of the insulation.

To another room... I have a bucket under it to catch condensate.Is your a/c venting to outdoors or into a room?
