Hi all! First off, thank you all! I have been lurking in the shadows for some time now and absorbing your knowledge like a sponge . Thank the almighty cannabis gods, I finally have the resources to build my first grow room! I'm extremely excited and have decided to take the approach of do it right the first time so, what i have so far is a 9 plant bio-bucket/DWC type system. Honestly, I am not sure of the difference between DWC and bio buckets or if the buckets are just a "type" of DWC... anyways moving on... each plant will be in a 5 gal. bucket, held in place by lava rocks in a netpot. each bucket has a feed line and return line that runs to the reservoir. I have an entire bedroom to work with but, i am torn between using the room itself or having the plants in an enclosed grow-box. I would keep the ballast, reservoir, and any other heat contributing devices out. I'm hoping to be able to vent the heat from the light out of the box fast enough that i wont have to worry about temp.... but i doubt it.... dimensions of my box, if one were implicated would be approx 5x5x6 LxWxH.
I could go higher but would like for the bottom floor of box to be a couple feet up so that my return lines can "waterfall" into the res. creating more dissolved oxygen. or at least i hope so. my mind went blank as to what to say next. i have tried to plan as well as possible but i really would appreciate any tips or suggestions someone may have.. one of my main questions i can think of is... "do you think ill be better off growing using the whole room or an enclosed environment venting in and out of the room.. I'm really trying to avoid having to use a chiller or A/C... i really cant afford the chiller and cant afford to run the A/C lol. thanks again everybody and, i look forward to growing with you.
