my basic design for my setup is here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/308655-my-legal-grow-room-design.html

i painted the floor a few days ago and finally got around to start building the room today. didnt get much done, just hung up some thick plastic for a moisture barrier and got the deck all done...well i didnt get the plywood screwed down cuz i forgot to buy short screws, but other then that its done. i should have the walls up and ceiling done tomorrow. stay tuned for updates. anyway, enjoy. :leaf:

thanks.

i ran a 2x4 down the middle before i put the ceiling up so i would have something to hang the lights from. havent decided how im gona actually hang them though, proly just gona screw some eye hooks in there and use chain to hang them but i was also thinking about making a simple light rail so i can slide the lights left and right if i need to...

yeah gotta have ventilation. im gona get it all roughed in and then hook up the lights so i can see what the temps are gona be like...then im gona base how much ventilation i need from the temps.

thanks. im thinking a combination of both. i have some 52x84 mylar emergency blankets that i picked up for a buck a piece at the flea market a while back, my room is 75 inches tall so i figure ill hang up the mylar and paint the one foot strips at the top and bottom of the walls that arent covered by the mylar.

Looks nice, you are running three sections in there?

How big is each room?

How do you plan on using each room and what are your lighting plans per room?

Thanks!
Looks GOOD!

Also I do not think the mylar emergency blankets are going to reflect enough....
They also tear fairly easily.

Perhaps use them around the top of the walls to throw any light back that comes up and to
keep them out of the way from easily being knocked or torn.

Id look at flat outdoor paint for inside, reflects very well and is great for cleaning up easily between cycles.

thanks. its two sections, the room on the left has two doors.
the room on the right is gona be my veg and clone room. its 38 inches deep, 46 inches wide and 75 inches tall. i have a 175w mh and an 85w 6500k cfl bulb that im gona use for my vegging and i have a 4 bulb 2 foot fluorescent light for my clones...not sure on the wattage for that one, a buddy of mine gave it to me. the room on the left is my flowering room. its 38 inches deep, 80 inches wide and 75 inches tall. im very limited on the amount of watts i can use til i upgrade the breaker panel in my house so i can only afford to use 600 watts in my flower room so i bought 4 150w hps for that, got em off ebay for so cheap...couldnt pass up the deal. since ill only be budding 6 plants at a time those will do just fine for now. ill be running homemade aero systems in all stages. i also have a 4x4x2 cabinet that im gona use as a mother room, i have 3 85w cfl's for that.

i have a light meter and a gallon of flat white paint so i planned on checking to see which is better. these mylar blankets look like they will do the trick though.

yeah i could do that very easily but i use a closet in my spare bedroom for drying.

it would be easy to add a removable wall in there. just rip some 2x4's in half so they are 2x2's and build a 2 rail track on the floor, ceiling and back wall and then you could just slide a sheet of plywood in the track and there ya go, you have a removable wall to split up the room into 2 sections.
