I'm building 99% identical to yours honestly. I didn't think of the raised floor or the vents to allow air flow underneath the floor but I do really like the idea. I'm one for details.

you are correct sir, I'm up in northwest WA so its always wet aside from summer for a short while. I did consider a dehumidifier for the room the actual grow room will be built in. To give the incoming air a bit of a buffer before its pulled in. Or if that isn't enough just running a small unit...

I was going to build the room 8x5x7, would 2x2 really be too weak? Or should I just go a little overboard and use 2x4 just for extra strength

I was thinking something about that route, I was also thinking of caulking all the small cracks and seems in the interior the help ensure my air flow. I figure as long as the air is moving at least 400cfm for my 280cf room then my humidity should never raise above 55% unless I push it for veg...

I'm hoping someone can just post a link on here for me to check out, I did a bit of digging myself but wasn't fully satisfied with what I read. My question is does anyone think or know I will have moisture (mainly mold) issues by building my own grow room instead of buying a tent. I'm going to...

looks like I have more HW to do

all about shopping for the right LED at the right price, paying $400ish for something that'll match a 600w HID set up, and not have to replace all the parts within a year or so. With proper knowledge you can find some that will do just what you need for upto 3-5 years if not more. Yes you do...

hahaha i love it. Very true and seems obvious enough that they wouldn't need the aid. I just ran across a couple posts when I originally started looking into the UV and just caught my curiosity. Thanks for the input, as far as helping them sleep no go but they'll still get a little boost from...

its links like that, that make me curious to at least try it. All in all, i havent read a thing really saying it harmed anyones plants much. So that at least gives a piece of mind. It'll be a nice addition with my led set up as is

That was the understanding I had come to so far from what I've read. I dont know anyone personally that tried using them but everyone I talk to has at least heard of it. I figure it cant hurt, and is a decently cheap investment to experiment with. I'm mainly to see the difference if any from...

fair enough. Had me a bit curious but sounded a bit backwards using light to help a plant sleep

To cut this short since I have a tendency of rambling, I've recently stumbled across Ed Rosenthal's bit of info on using UV for flowering cannabis as a lighting supplement. It's got me very interested, and I plan to use it when I start my next flower round. However, something I came across I...

just saw this hah

from the first few responses it doesnt sound necessary to insulate, however it doesn't exactly sound harmful to go ahead and do it anyhow. Seeing how I will be venting directly outside (for summer, spring, fall), I will most likely do something light weight, just enough to dampen sound, and...

I'm a new member to the site, have a bit of experience but still have my head quite far up my arse. I have gotten myself a couple grow bibles to help me along the way but a few veteran growers in my area say I can find quite a lot of useful info on here. So to get straight to it, I'm building a...
