Yeah you should be set man your doing like a basement grow as far as temps go, for veg higher humidity is a good thing but you dont want bud rot or mildews or Fungus lol, it seems to me your just trying to overthink a bit like I tend to do, I think you got a damn solid plan though.

The roof of the building is brand new, metal roofing. Its got a slit vent (ridge vent? Its got a vent all the way down the apex of the roof), extremely good airflow in there. That's one thing I've got going for me lol

Are you running year round and is winter an issue?

I'd like to run all the time.

I will be insulating the shit out of the room.


I'm hoping temps will stay constant if I stagger the light schedules.

The CMH produce almost no heat all. They're worthless for heating up the grow space. In fact, I believe they would grow better plants with just a bit of IR in there, but I digress.

Thanks for the back and forth MD!

I've got no one to discuss these things with in real life so it really helps to bounce ideas off of others and get conformation of my plans!

Humidity and temps I think will be my biggest concerns. I'm honestly itching to get it built and I'll just deal with whatever environmental issues I find once that happens.

In a bit I'll have to motivate myself to get out there and keep digging.

I'm wondering if some Blackberry Skunk would help with motivation?

As long as your insulating and building the space you can deal with adding heat if you need to. I think you already have planned for proper air exchange and exhaust. If I were you I may want a cheap whole barn fan at a top gable, but thats if heat gets too intenste.

No problem, I have you guys to talk with. If I can help sweet.

Yes the gavitas are double ended.

He was talking about the CMH that I have in batwings. My last flower run I did them barebulb vert, but I've since purchased batwings and am running them horizontal for veg...

Good to see ya Doc, hope that OR is treating you and your family well.
I just picked two 600 hps/mh setups with bat wings I am running in a flat garden this time. Or is pretty great so far.

I screwed up a fan and a 600w HPS bulb last night. I hung my bulb up so I could water and the thing moved without me noticing. It touched the fan and melted it. Now there's melted plastic on the bulb and a hole in the fan :(

The majority of the plastic came right off but there is still remnants on it so I don;t think I can use it without worrying about it exploding. I put a backup bulb from my buddy in there until I can get a replacement.

Eeeek damn, well at least it was your fan and not your head, yeah I think the bulb is junk though, Is it a pricey one?
I do all my stuff with the light off after I burned my nogin luckily I shave my head lol, I thought I broke that bulb for sure.
