After deliberation, I decided to convert a 2x8 closet into an all in 1 stealth grow rather than build a room in the garage.
I framed in half the closet and made a separate room and put a door. I tried to take some pictures, but unfortunately its a closet and I cant get far enough away to show you the setup, so I made a paint of it.

The long black things are doors. I started out wanting a better grow room, so I was aiming for a big one, then I realized that wasn't really my need, I just wanted a better one. Originally the closet had a 5 foot opening, so I framed 2 1/2 foot of it in and added a door inside of it. Now you walk into the closet and there is a door on the left to the flowering chamber. I am putting another door where you walk into the grow.
My goal was to create an entirely contained grow area, and I did.
I have started putting together a rDWC. The remote res is going to be at the bottom of the veg/clone chamber. This is so I can control heat better, and not have to bother the flowers to change/check the res.
It will be 3 10 gallon totes, heres an example of one, and pictures of the drains I installed.

Here are the parts I used to make the drains:

These are electrical conduit connectors. They are just regular pvc but grey to signify its an electrical line. They glue to regular pvc pipe and all. Im using 1/2" and 3/4" lines. 3/4 for all but the one going from my waterpump into the first DWC tub. Thats to restrict the flow so I (hopefully) dont get an overflow on my first tote.
I cut the holes with an exacto knife, I can actually screw the plastic pieces down tight on the tote without the nut. I seriously doubt they will leak since they wont have that much pressure on them in a 10 gallon tote. However, if they do leak during the test run I will just add some silicone to them. I used O Ring and more of a flat gasket, not sure which will be better, well see during the test run.
