Hi guys,
I leave for my honeymoon tomorrow but i wanted to get a jump on things.
I went ahead and cleared out my closet that houses the furnace.
There is a good amount of space inside as well as having 2 fresh air vents already integrated into the structure.
I took my measuring tape and starting jotting down dimensions of the room itself.
As well as documenting total space up to within 5 inches of the furnace (small buffer).
I went ahead and made a crude drawing of the layout along with all the crucial measurements needed to establish sq ft of useable floor space as well as cubic feet of total useable airspace. the green lines were imaginary for calculating the triangle area in sq in.
My crude concepts on what to do with this space would be to have an adjustable light fixture mounted from the ceiling that would be adjustable in height via hanging chains or something.
Ventilation fans and charcoal filters can easily be run to and fitted to the existing vents to the outside,
which vent into the alleyway
I also am going to prep and paint the existing walls all flat white for reflectivity.
As well as sealing up joints and any possible holes bugs or things may come through.
I would like to implement scrog to help maximize the small space for larger yields.
I would like to make some sort of adjustable in height scrog frame for the netting built to contour to the shape of the walls to maximize useable space
The plan would be just 1 plant at a time
and veg until screen is %70 full then flower.
If 2 smaller plants filling the same netting save me some time between cycles
("assuming" half the time saved) that could also be an option.
This part of the u.s. it gets up to the 100's in summer and down into the -10 at peak lows in winter occasionally.
It would not be air conditioned but i could passively let heat out occasionally by venting the door towards the air conditioned room it lives in.
Heat would be the same concept in winter or a space heater.
So i need to figure out lighting demands and the type of lighting i should use.
As well as what kinds of ventilation demands need to be filled
Total cubic footage of useable airspace in the room is approx 47 cu ft
floorspace is slightly below 6 sq ft.
Any input or opinions on this planning feel free to comment.
This thread may be silent for a few weeks while I'm gone.
I will return eventually to pickup where i left off.
