Yeah wait on the CO2. The intake and exhaust will be a handy backup for your AC in the future.

Yep, once again I got high and never fully thought things through lol.
UPDATE:
The walls are all painted , looking very clean and bright. Going to move the tables in later this evening and get the drain to waste plumbing all working. My light controller still hasnt shown up yet, Only planning on running 2 lights/tables for this crop anyway, so normal timer and plugin should be fine until it gets here.
Tomorrow morning ill cut through the exterior wall and run my exhaust and intakes. Still planning to wrap the ceiling in panda film, seal it well with tape and acoustic sealant. I sprayed insulation in any gap or crevice i could find and caulked all seams along floor and walls.
I also Need to install the track for hanging lights . After these few things are done i can focus on making a sealed door for the room. Right now its just a heavy mill blanket and some plastic. Were gonna do better than that for the final product.
Once they are under the new lights and in the new room ill focus on setting up the automated drip. Waiting on new manifolds. Didnt like the first bunch i bought, very cheap and dont look reliable at all.

here's a crappy pic taken yesterday of one side of the room. As you can see, tent is still occupying some of the space.
This is the wall the tables will run along. It's 14'. The opposite long wall will be the location of controllers, timers and fans
You can also see the roughed in plumbing, I'll be using these for my runoff
Will be back with updated pics tomorrow. Things will look much different

I am sure it will. Once you get it all dialed in you will be looking back at all your hard work and that pride will kick in. Good feeling, to know you did it all correct.

Agreed man, thanks so much for helping me every step of the way lol.
Just finished plumbing the drains in both tables, i used 1-1/2" abs and fittings. Ill grab some glue later today and hook up the lines running to the floor and glue everything together once i move the tables in.
sidenote: not sure if you guys have followed my newest journal at all, but long story short, the newest girls began vegging under 600w MH , then at 400w of mh for 10 days....and the last 20 days they have been vegging under 200w of MH.
yes thats right, rather than starting at 200w and increasing light as the plants got bigger, ive been dimming it without realizing lol. I couldnt see the dial on ballast and was turning in wrong direction like a real dolt lol

lol no doubt
Prob a good thing I did. The plants are already outgrowing the 4x4 while waiting for me to finish this room, if they had been given proper light I fear I'd be in a jungle right now lol
You will be glad you have an intake and exhaust 3 weeks into my first run in new room and my mini split lost charge and quit working. Between the gavita controller auto dimming my lights when temps get to hot and my exhaust I was able to keep running no problem until I got the ac fixed.
Might want to consider a temp cut out or something of that nature too, I can deal with fixing something but I'd be heartbroken to come into my room to see my plants baked.

Ya man , that would suck for sure.
I will look into a temp shutoff option. Not sure if my controller has something like that
I plan to run lights during night time. It still gets down to 62-64 during nights in summer here ffs lol. So I think it should be able to help keep the heat under control.
Led guys are telling me I need to keep my temps in mid 80s, so I'm not expecting to have much issue with getting hotter than that.
I think you will be fine as long as nothing happens that makes your exhaust fan shut down. I can't remember for sure how many watts led u said your doing but I think was like 1400 watts. So I mean think of it like this space heaters use about 1500 watts, if you put a space heater in same size room and closed doors and unplugged exhaust the heat would build up pretty quick. I'm sure your led is more efficient than space heater but at some point a watt is still a watt so your gonna have over a 1000 watts of heat in that room and it's not a huge room so it will heat up. Now I've never had an exhaust fan fail before and this is also my first time with temp control/shutoff so I've been running without one just fine and you prob can too, but now that I've had an issue I don't wanna run without one. Id l like to find a small temp shutoff made for tents for my veg.

Titan Zephyr 2 is a stand alone unit that you just plug in between the timer and trigger cord for your lighting controller.

I think i found it.

Ill order one in a bit, also looking to either buy a turbokloner or order the parts to make something similar.

Man im still uncertain about how im gonna hookup my intake/exhaust fans . I planned to use the intake for cooling during lights on running at night. Dehuey on separate timer for lights off heat and keep rh within good range. What do i do with the exhaust fan? if intake is running on the temp side of controller and only coming on when temps reach certain point, where do i hookup exhaust and when should it run? Can i run it on the RH side of controller and have it only come on with rh gets too high? would that work? Would that be enough air exchange? Do any of this make sense? Lol
i know ive asked this already, but still not sure about it.
How would you guys set it all up?

Run them both on the temp controller they need to kick off and on at same time. If you exhaust air it has to be replaced from somewhere and it sounds like you sealed your room up pretty tight so I'd just have them both kick on at same time. Might need like a small power strip (the ones with like 3 outlets but no switch) to plug both fans into the same place on controller.
