Hi all, I have just moved and need to setup again. In the old place I had a spare room with a 1.2x1.2 tent and a little DR90 for veg. I have moved and have a small loft at my disposal, after chopping and bracing a couple of trusses I have made a space about 1.75m x 1.15 x 1.4 (wxdxh)
I am trying to re-use my old kit (apart from tents) so I have a lumatech 600w ballast, a standard 600 bulb in a 1 meter parabolic, isomax 6" fan and slim CF (plus contacters, ducting etc)
My plan (currently) is just over 1m square flowering room with a 40 odd cm (width) veg next to it, height is an issue for flowering as parabolic is about 25cm high so after construction I will be lucky to get 100+ cm.
Construction plans are T and G loft floor then 25mm polystyrene Sheet then 9mm OSB for a 'floating' floor (I am mid terrace so noise is an issue) the floor then has a cheap tarpaulin over it, the frame will be made of 3"x2" stud, exterior clad in 6mm hard board then 50mm celotex then 12-15mm air gap (1st question is will that be enough gap?) then inside is 9mm plasterboard hopefully covered in wickes aluminium insulation, fan and filter will fit above parabolics outer edge, now I am venting out through old shower roof vent 4" (2nd question, should I reduce from 6 to 4" duct inside or outside tent? I know bigger is better but I have no choice) I was looking to use a couple of 90 degree 6" poly pipe bends to passively feed from side veg room into flower with 6" pc fan filter for dust and actively feed the veg room with a 4" inline pulling air from the bathroom extractor via a Y connection to current ducting.
That much I am roughly sure of, Q3 what's the best way to do the doors, I will need 2 and they will be insulated same as the sides/roof! I have no idea how to do them, stepped in, set back? No clue so help!
Sorry about the essay!
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
