preparing crawl space **Pic attached**

hi guys, the entry to my crawlspace has a height of around 120cm, which i believe i can use to start my grow. The area i can use from this space is around 1m by 1m.

As the crawl-space is quite large (though i cannot use any other area due to height and suitable access restriction) i believe it is quite suitable for installing adequate exhaust and ventilation.

The picture attached shows how my crawl-space looks like. I have attached it to show a rough idea of the debris, dust and dirt that covers the area. The area that i want to build my grow space on consists of the same ground however so i thought it might be helpful.

After removing debris and flattening out the area, what would my next step be in preparing a smooth ground?

thanks guys!

Is this crawl space inside or outside?

Its inside (against the basement, under the living room)

Get a level from your local hardware store.

Do you have electric you can tap into around the craw space, or are you running a new line with a breaker?

You might want to put a thermostat down there to check the temps during the day, this will give a good idea of when the coolest part of the day is in there(normally at night).

Take some more pics, the more pics you have the more we can see what you have to work with and more info we can give. If you have a Art program on your computer, try and take your pics then use the Art program to draw up a design of what your trying to do.

Here to help man, i dont know if i will be much help but i will try.

Keep the dream alive.

id clean the fuck out of that place, like power sprayer and bleach water, ill bet theres mold and mildew and shit down there

with 12o cm id suggest growing some low ryder strain with cfls because you dont have much space

why the hell would you grow under your damn house, the bugs alone that inhabit the area will kill the plants.... nevermind yah grow weed in your crawl space lol

As long as you do a lot of prep work and and get creative you could have a bad ass grow room down there.

Plus the best part about having a out of the way grow room is you don't have to explain it to friends, family, inlaws, ect....

Dig! Give us a room, a diy basement! lol. seriuosly, no jk, I think you could share some interesting info if you try.

Thanks the the responses guys (especially hulk nugs). I had planned making the grow in the adjacent basement, but when investigating how to set up ventilation i came across an area of that space that seemed manageable. (I really want to make a small grow before working on a larger aeroponics grow that i had my mind on).

In any case ill try get back to you guys with more pics/drawings of the plan
