first off id like to start this out by stating any and all are welcome in this thread! speak your mind, share your advice... anything and everything is welcome!
After a many month gap since cutting down my first indoor grow in early September I took all that I had learned from my first grow and decided to transform my grow room, had a problem with genetics going hermie on me so thats been addressed as well. The original problem I had with my first grow/room setup was a real lack of airflow in between the plants and a total lack of an even canopy... novice mistakes... mistakes I fully intended to correct this grow.
The first change that had to be addressed was the walls and floor... the room was a mess no mobility no accessibility. So with that in mind I fully dry walled all the walls, did all the taping and muding sanded it down and painted with a mold/mildew proof (titanium dioxide) paint. As a result of this its massively improved the reflectivity of the room and general cleanliness as its much easier wash after each grow now. After painting i decided that i no longer wanted to grow "tall" plants so i decided to build a bench for my future girls to sit on. Wanting to address the problem of the lack of airflow through the plants/canopy I stole an idea from another member here on riu an "airfloor" the original idea was to use plywood with alot of holes drilled in it, but later on opted for 1x4 slatting. This has worked out EXTREMELY well as the fresh air intake is now directly underneath all of the plants. So with that addressed i decided to turn my attention to my ballast and fan placement... simple solution, get wall fans, put the ballasts up high!
