Hey everybody I'm nearly finished with my grow room and just wanted some feedback and any criticism is welcome.
I got a 400 watt MH/HPS grow light with a bat wing reflector. A 4 bucket DWC setup with control tank. A hydrofarm 60 cfm blower and a 16" fan for circulation. I mounted all my electrical stuff to the ceiling to keep it out of the way. I'm not sure if I put the 16" fan in the right spot but there isn't to much room in this closet. I'll have a second blower for the intake blowing across the pots so I think it will be fine where it is.
I originally bought some mylar for the walls but trying to put that stuff up was a pain in the butt to do by yourself. I did put it up but it was just to noisy with the fans blowing on it. So I just decided to go with flat white paint instead. It took 2 coats and a whole gallon for a 3x3x8 closet.
I'm currently waiting on a second hydrofarm blower to arrive before I get going on my first grow because the temps are averaging between 85 - 90 deg without the intake. I'm afraid I will burn my plants up with those temps so I'll just wait a little longer until I get the blower so I know for sure that there wont be any heat problems. I got 4 thermometers in the room right now just to make sure I'm getting a proper reading plus deciding on which one to use.
I also got a HANNA GroCheck Combo pH & TDS Meter coming that sits in the control tank permanently to check pH and ppm.
I'm also going with GH nutes and I'll be using coco coir for my medium.
I put some weather strip on the bottom of the door because there was about an 1 1/2 gap between the door and the floor. I also put foam tape all around the inside door frame to totally seal it up. There use to be light leaks but not anymore.
I need an opinion on whether I should put my buckets a little closer together because there kind of close to the wall. If so I'll have to cut a few inches off the hose to do it and I've already cut about 4 inches off so far.
here are some pics.
So guys and gals tell me what you think, is it good enough to grow some buds or what?
