Alright so i started a thread about building a grow room in my new house and due to the advice of some other members im starting a grow journal from the beginning. we just moved into our first house i had been growin in our rental but it was sketch so now that i have my own house the plan is to make a legit stealth grow room. Me and my amigo built the wall already and now we are workin on the shelving design soon if this god damn snow would go away so i can get to home depot
But the basic design of the room is pretty tight it is an 8x4x8 ft room and i plan to capatilize on as much height as possible so i want to seperate the wall into three sections each measuring just over 2 1/2 ft. to do this i want to take 2x4 and mount them 4in. side flat against the wall to use as the rear support. than for the front use 1/2 pvc pipe as columns. ill glue them to 1/4 square pieces of wood than screw them into place. i than want to wrap the entire room in reflective mylar ceiling, walls, shelves, columns everything. than the floor i will use white mat to reflect up.
Secret entrance: so im thinkin i wanna do the classic bookcase door but not to sure im open to ideas if anyone has got em as you can see the door in is in plain sight so it have to be hiding in plain sight lol
Lighting: for the lighting we want to use tube flouresent mounted to the bottom of all the shelves i would need 15 lights in total 30 tubes.
Ventilation: the ventilation will be run out the exhaust of my house (i built the room around it so it would be inside the room) the exhaust of the house is where your furnace and water heater release hot air and un-used gas, to ensure i dont have a gas leak in my house and kill myself and others i will use a y and seal it completely. i have a 6 in. axial fan that will be attatched to 6 in flex and fun through the hood than up the house exhaust with all that hot air n up up n out the roof!
thatll take care of any smells as well as make the room quite stealthy since i dont have an extra vent out the side of my house!!
Growing: now the plan me and my amigo came up with is that we want to have a steady supply of dank weed to smoke...
so we decided to go with auto-flowering strains to get the maximum yield in the shortest time for our space.( not to mention some of the new crosses coming out are claiming thc content upwards of 20%) now we have four auto strains right now

we plan on doing one massive seed harvest utilizing the rest of the house for males and keeping the females in that room. after this we figure with the small amount of soil and space we need for each plant we can put at least 60 plants on the shelving system we build. now we will harvest half the room once a month so thirty plants once a month that hopefully will yield roughly 20-30 grams each ( they report up to 50 g can be harvested but idk) so hopefully atleast a pound a month for ever!!!!!!!!
at least i hope but were still in the beinning stages of this master plan but here are some pics of the inside and view from laundry room and exhaust of house
