Hi fellow growers!
Wow, time flies when you are having fun The grow room is almost setup, so it is time to start documenting what I have done so far.
The area is in the basement, which has a pretty consistent temp of 65 F. The lack of humidity is always a problem here, so I will have to keep a close eye on that, and perhaps supplement with a bucket of water with a fan blowing on it, but I am not that far yet.
The former closet was a mess, so cleaning up is the first priority:
That old moving box dates me I guess
There is a hole on the other side of the closet that goes to the room where the furnace and the water heaters sit. I figure that I can pretty safely vent in there:
To this 6 inch vent hose I have added a lasco blower (see DYI project in signature) which is also attached to a 8"x24" carbon air scrubber:
I have scored some little racks from the second hand store for $5 total, and this is what the current setup looks like:
Tomorrow I will be planting my first grow from their current jiffy cubes into their first 20 ounce hempy cup, I will also have to get another roll of the shiny stuff, and hook up the 250 W HID light to the ceiling. I have placed a fan to the upper left of this picture. The fan is a 8" model that moves up and down for now, while drawing some air from the space between the floors.
