Yup if concrete i would acid etch and seal that shit. Then put the foam up. Seal the seams and take a serious look at intake and exhaust options. Mine is a completely sealed room no air exchange. Cost a bit more in equipment but also has the benefits of complete environmental control and co2.@Aqua Man has some good ideas here but do you know what zone you’re in in Ontario?
I ask cause if you try to seal that cold room inproperly you could be inviting damage to your home (mold and moisture) not just your grow. You’ve got that cellar vent and if you aren’t careful it will be a cold damp jet into your home.
Is there a steel insulated door leading to your cold room? How well is this cold room sealed off from the rest of your house?
Haha I do that for some friends. Set em up and they give me half. I also closed the vents off to that room and insulated over them for that exact reason.If you’re near my area I’ll come and spend some time to help you fix up that room proper....
For some of the harvest
Hey, yeah you saw the pictures I’m not going to closing that exhaust hole. I am still leaving the cold room open to the outdoors but I was going to create a insulated box around my 4x2 grow tent so the box would just be around that and then the room would still be very cold. And yes the room is fully sealed off from my home with a steel door, same kind of door you would use for the garage entrance to your house. So if I used a small space heater in that room when it has that open exhaust it could create mould?@Aqua Man has some good ideas here but do you know what zone you’re in in Ontario?

Ok yeah this seems like it’s going to be a bit of a hassle to grow in that room so I will most likely end up growing in a air conditioned room in my house. So I will have a duct fan and carbon filter etc. Will I need to have one of the side vents open on the tent to allow air to enter or can I just have all my vents closed and just have the duct fan runningIf you frame out an insulated box within that room you should be fine just keep an eye on humidity this winter.
I think a light could heat the small area by Itself.
Where are you going to draw the air going into the grow area from? From within cold room? Ideally if you could pull the air from inside your home I think you’d be laughing.
