LIST:HELP ME PULL THE TRIGGER(14'x15' room) 6- Flower X 1K+T5's-Veg. 2-Ton mini Split

[budwich]

Lookin good bro, it looks like you are not to far ahead of me. I wonder who will be done first...

You are lucky with the 9ft ceilings, I have 7ft to work with. Here are some pictures I snapped last night. As for dehumidifier, I got a LG 50 Pt. It has a spot to plug a hose into for constant drainage. It was about $200, have no idea if it works good or not as it is still in the box. My rooms are a bit smaller than yours; flower is 11x9, veg is 6x9, and a small work space. Also built a drying "closet" which is about 3x5.

All lights will be in 220V, 4 600W for flower, 2 400W for veg. Also scored on a co2 tank, found a full 75lb tank for 50 bucks on craigslist. refill on it is 40 so im pretty pumped for that. next project is putting sub floor and vinyl flooring down. Talk to you soon man, hope this thing comes together for you fast

Edit... 50LB co2 tank for $75

Yours and mine seem to have that parallel universe thing going on...Looking good man! I've been all painted up and most all equipment here for about a week. I'm just waiting on my Sentinel CHH...something 4? lol I decided to go with the Danby Premiere 70 pint dehuy and am adding a condensation pump for it. Had my 2 ton Shinco mini split installed a few weeks ago too. I'll get some pics. and post em up here once I get a sec. Should be set up with "Lights On" and genetics here in a ~1-2 weeks.

 

[budwich]

I still need to post up pics. But same as you...lights will be up in 2 days lol...Good timing man! I'll get back asap.

 

[Ty13]

Yours is looking like it's all really coming together now! I should have everything complete come Thur....Going to be working a ton tomorrow and then. Here's the only thing worth posting a pic. of right now....The mini split with all being painted.

Fuck me, I had the guy that was going to install my solar attic fan in the garage cancel on me...I specifically told him that the tracking shows that it would in fact be here today...guess he didn't take me seriously. I wanted to get him in here today because he's the guy that installed the mini split and was still oblivious as to what it was for...he was saying I could hang meat in there with that large of a unit....Little does he know about the 6K lights going in just the bloom room. Between setting up all equipment and having plants being there, I either need to find a guy today or he'll just finally know what's going on...might not be too bad though....

so stoked to see your getting it going! you planned ahead really good, seems like its coming together great! subd. check out my thread.

you got some balls building that with your garage door open. your neighbors can spit into your driveway.
what are you planning on doing to cover the sound? my box is insulated as hell but i can still hear the inline fans a little and even the oscillating fans kind of hum.

Most all fans will be inside the sealed and insulated room which is built w/in the garage along with sealed doors. The garage door is no longer operational and it's double locked even if one could pry it up a tiny bit. Also, most fans don't need to run at full capacity so I have speed controllers for them which not only lessens the sound quite a bit but also conserves on electricity. I just hope it doesn't lessen the life of the fans. I don't think it will be necessary but I'll put up some sound board if need be.

The outside mini split unit sits outside and out of view from anyone but it runs so smooth and quiet that you can't hear it unless you're right up on it.

 

[patrickkawi37]

yeah for sure i was so stoked when i found out how quiet the mini splits are. i had a wall unit hanging out the back of my box into the garage and between that and the inline fan it sounded like i had an airplane going in the garage.

my box is all insulated and in my garage and all that but it still has a hummm like if your standing within 10-15 feet of it you can hear it. not too loud, i guess it could pass as a drier going all the time lol. and your venting your lights if i remember correctly? where are you pulling and spitting that air? i have mine coming from outside and goes across all the lights and then spits back outside. (not a good idea) kind of has a small scent with it. but when the inline fan is going at 7-7 you can definitely hear it sucking the outside air.

im just curious as to how to get my room more sound proof. i would not be able to run mine in a neighborhood i would be way to sketched the way it is now.

my thoughts exactly

What kinda trees will you be growing with such a nice setup?

Good luck Ty13

You did great. I have steered clear of Digilux ( hearsay from 3 stores in 3 states) so I'm going with both Hortilux and SunMaster bulbs. The Guardian is nice...I went with the model below it. I am using two connected tents...GL145 (T5 8 and T5 4 bulb set up) and GL240 (Two 600w bulbs and a couple 250 veg CFL with reflectors for side lights). I went with the 13,000 BTU dual hose Danby which also dehumidifies...should end up costing me about $409 delivered.
You have great stuff there!! You will have an amazing setup when it's complete. I'm guessing I can do 6-10 plants with my set up. You will have a lot of fun!!
Good luck!

liking the mini split. you will love that in the middle of summer. My veg room is running, finished it a couple nights ago. flower room will be up soon, just need to finish duct work. amazed at how close our timing is. more pics coming soon

I currently just have 1 fan that's outside the actual room...1-6" running at half speed...I don't hear anything from the outside, even up close to the main garage door. Maybe the slight hum while inside the house near the entrance door to the main garage but nothing else...and that may just be due to a 6" currently running at full capacity in order to vent the divider wall...I plan on reducing that to at least 50% if not less because it's just not necessary.

Thanks man. I have "D-Bub"...basically OG Bubba Kush crossed with something that puts it "on steroids"...combine that with Co2 that I'll have once complete and it should be fantastic as long as no pests get in my way...I'm still learning the basics of the feeding, flushing, folliar spray, pesticides etc. Once I have that down, there's no stopping me other than evolved mites or something that become immune to the pesticides.

I have a shit ton more work to do in very little time...took a few pics but nothing much...just know time to load em up from phone to here yet but will post them up later. I currently have the D-Bubs at over a foot and ready to go into bloom...just that the bloom isn't quite ready yet. Like I said...pics. when I'm done and can spare more time than it took me to type this.

Most def. man...very close and similar...I just hope the mini split doesn't cost too much in electricity...currently running 74-75 degrees and 55% humidity(Danby 70 pint dehuy...hope that doesn't suck power too much as well).

 

[Ty13]

So instead of going with the pocket door like I wanted to, I was told they're a bitch to seal and pretty much convinced by some guys to go with a regular 36" door.....Now, I've tried diff. weather seals and they seem to work okay but not 100% so far........Anyone know a good way to double proof at least the light seal on a regular door like I have that has a door knob?? I was thinking some sort of velcro system or similar. I'd research it if I had the time but I'm building and dialing shit in constantly....wish I had set everything up before I got the plants but there's just never enough tme, at the right times, ya know.....

So, help from anyone is greatly appreciate!!!

foam weatherstripping. you can get it at any hardware store. line the door jamb with it.

I've tried diff. widths and thicknesses...still not 100% yet but I haven't tried all the diff. styles. The main divider door to the flower needs a very thin one...I have a 1/8" one I'm going to try but maybe the foam one's compress enough...Too thick of one on this door and it will barely close if at all.

The doors aren't solid so they will vary a little(barely bend) which creates an uneven gap. The front entrance door to veg. needs a thicker one than the flower door but obviously not very wide as it's going on the thin door jam.

You think foam is the best material out of the options? I'm thinking maybe so...maybe it has the ability to compress more where needed and can accomidate the little bit of unevenness these "hollow" doors can have.

 

[ScoobyDoobyDoo]

it's cheap enough that you won't regret trying it out. i have solid doors but i used the foam on them with a solid door sweep and threashold. works great.

 

[budwich]

I used the weather stripping made for exterior doors. not sure the exact name, it has a plastic lip that you tuck under the casing. I had to build the door frame and casing for my room. You install this all around, set the casing back about an 1/8 of an inch and it is a very good seal. Ill snap some pics later this afternoon for you, but its pretty cheap stuff. Much stronger than foam weather strips.

 

[budwich]

Here is the pics I said i would get to you. Its a vinyl weather strip with a plastic edge. the edge has 2 small rubber strips to keep it from moving once tucked under door jamb.


Just finished this, dumps heat from veg room into basement. completely sealed and light proof
