I used what’s caller panda film, it’s black on one side and white on the other and it works great for grow rooms.Hey fellow growers,
So, I was wondering today what do you guys think of making your own grow room and not using a tent? What should be factored in? Like do you really need reflective sheeting etc. What about pests? Will pests be an even bigger issue without a tent? Or will it smell stronger and be harder to mange and also managing climate? Soooo many questions!
The reason I ask is that i grow in a small en-suite bathroom but the space is badly utilised. I can fit a 60x60 tent in there no problem but that’s all I can fit i could fit and squeeze in a 120x60 which would be perfect but it would be wall to wall and can only find tents that have the door on the long side which would be completely inaccessible. I would like a bigger space to grow in maybe get 1 or 2 more plants in there. So I thought about maybe making my own grow space without a tent I mean its seem perfect its a complete walk in shower so drainage at the bottom and pvc plastic walls but a dark colour so not very reflective. What’s your take on this?
(Sorry for all the questions you lot are just so helpful so I love to pick your brains and get all your information)
thank you in advance
That's true. Tents provide some nice features, though. One is that they can be a room within a room. The outer room is often called a "lung room." That helps to control the temperature and humidity inside the tent.So im gathering tents arnt really needed then and grow rooms are just as effective?
No. I understand white walls work well.Like do you really need reflective sheeting etc.
Great grow space!For me the room is better.
No question at all.
You’d want to staple or secure the Mylar to the wall, otherwise it’s going to be noisy as hell with a small fan blowing.I can't remember where, but a while ago I read something saying that flat, white wall paint isn't that much less reflective than the shiny aluminum looking stuff. The rolls of shiny mylar never seem to lay flat on a wall. It's prone to having waves and bubbles which can cause hot spots being focused at your plants.
Your grow always looks stellar!So when it comes to reflective walls I'm a bit on the fence. Yes I have reflective panels in my room. Made from the same material found inside HID reflectors. But my room is also painted black and I have a lot of art on the walls too so I don't believe reflective walls are that important. And my motto has always been if I need to depend on light bouncing off the walls then I just need better grow lights.
I've grown dozens of crops in this room and never once felt yield or quality lacked due to lack of reflective walls but totally get doing it plus it makes it look better and sometimes helps prevent mold.
Maybe not. It's probably best not to do anything destructive that needs to be fixed when you move. I'd probably try to construct something from hardware store stuff, or maybe repurpose something like a clothes rack from craigslist. I'm imagining long pieces of wood with double-sided tape attaching them to the walls. Another board or a closet pole could connect them and support the light.I would have to drill holes and make a mount for lights I guess.
You’ll do more damage with removing double sided tape than screwing a hole in the wall. One will tear the sheet rock paper, the other is filled with $5 putty :pMaybe not.
