I am in the final stages of redoing my grow room and thought I would start a journal and see how it goes. I have been growing the last few years, perpetually harvesting about 10 plants every 4-6 weeks at an average of 2.5 oz per plant, mostly Super Lemon Haze. I brought in some clones from a "friend" and powdery mildew along with them. I left town and had someone else taking care of things and everything got out of hand culminating in shutting down the room and starting over.
As it was I was using an unfinished garage and it was far from optimal. I insulated and sheet rocked the room framed off the garage door insulated and sheet rocked that as well. I had a friend run a couple of extra 20 amp circuits for the room to help supply a little juice. I also ran solid ducting through the attic using adjustable 90 degree elbow pipes to the vents in the eaves at the back of my house (completely silent outside).
I am running 4 1k watt HPS in the flower room air cooled 2 at a time with 2 8in max-fans pulling through 2 Can 33's. In between the lights at ceiling height is a Can 75 and a HO 8in Can-fan scrubbing the whole show so the vented "scrubbed" air is scrubbed twice in essence. At the far end of the room where the garage door is/was there are 2 grow tents one 4x8x7.5 the other is 3x3x7. The bigger tent is the veg room and has 2 600w air cooled MH the smaller tent is where the 45 site clone machine sits under florescent's
Both tents are being vented using a HO 8in Can-fan to the larger room where everything is scrubbed/vented. There will be 16in oscillating fans mount to the walls after they are wrapped in plastic.I will be adding a mini split A/C unit when the weather calls for it. I am also looking at a Co2 burner as my compressed unit is too small for this area. I am also looking into putting together a drip feed system because I like to leave once in awhile. I grow in soil so even if a pump went out I have a few day buffer zone. I ran everything tonight and got temps of 79f with 47% humidity with lights on for a couple hours.
I still need to wrap the room in panda plastic tomorrow but I am starting to feel like its time to pop some seeds and start this thing off! I currently have a few sour diesel and super lemon haze from another clean room I am running at another patients house.This is a legal medical grow for the record. I also have 10 more feminized Super lemon haze and 10 feminized Tangerine Dream that I will pop very soon for the first run. The idea of this room is the same, perpetual harvest every 4-6 weeks just a few more plants this time.Here are a few pictures of the room as it stands now. I will try and add pictures as things progress
