growroom between walls?

[squid_420]

Hey guyz,
New member here and
this is my first post.
For sake of argument,say
a person had a corridor
of sorts,where 2 houses
were joined together.If
the space were 2-2 1/2'
wide,18-20' long,and
approx 8-10' high,would
this be enough space for,
say,2 600's?And,if so,
since it would be so narrow
should lights hang vert. sans
reflector,or not?Also,any thou-
ghts on cooling,whether this
theoretical grow should be scrog,
sog,etc.Plant numbers would
have to be taken into account,also.
Fewer,the better.

Thanx in advance
squid.

ps..dirt,not hydro.

Dont hang your lights vertical,you can get shades which will maxamise your light.Paint either side a flat white as gloss eats the light,reflecta grow should then be lined.This will help make most of your light.
Its up to you how many plants and which style.How are you going to feed them,via drippers.If its long and narrow a pipe with holes drilled to let out water and feed would help.Also a pump and reservoir unless you have something else in mind.
Hope this helps.

If its fewer the better scrog will give more yeild also a good fan/extractor kit can be bought.A filter as well if smell is a problem.

Thanx on the feedback

walls are already flat white.
Would love to use reflectors,
but i don't know if they will
fit the narrow width...and i'm
afraid of hot metal from the
hood burning the walls from
contact.Don't want to have a
fire hazard.Really wanna use
]this space...it's TOO sweet.
Completely sealed off,and
only one HIGHLY secret en-
trance.If this event ACTUALLY
took place,which this is all
for the sake of argument,a
scrubber would def be built,
even tho the grows would
be low-odor strains,like
female seeds' c99 and n.l.
If any brainstormers are
out there,maybe even
using a similar setup,could
you throw some ideas this
way?Scrog is great,but how
could it be done in such tight
quarters?
thanx again,

squid.

There is plenty of room for reflectors without creating fire hazard,you can get heat resistent reflectors.
You can scrog by training them while in veg,super crop if need be.This means breaking branches while young so they can support more weight in flower.

Heat resistant reflectors...interesting.
Got any links for them?

My first concern with the space you described is security. Unless I owned/controlled the houses on both sides of that wall, I wouldn't even consider growing in it. The security concerns would be astronomical growing in a space that you don't have complete control over.

Even if it is something with limited entrance, you never know when the other party is going to decide to remodel, have a leak, hang a picture with a railroad spike, etc.

qoute u, if it is completely sealed off u will have heat problems ucould use ac and co2 then it could be sealed off.thought u should take this into account late matt

Sorry i wasn't clear...the 2 houses are 1 big 1.
Both are owned/lived in by one fam.Instead of
building on,another house owned by the same ppl.
was moved and the 2 joined.As for being sealed,i meant this is total stealth.The intake could be passives through
the floor and hot air exhausted into the attic.Basically,it's
like a hidden corridor between the 2 houses that was roofed
over at the top and has a floor as well.Entrance is thru a
trap door on 1 end from up under the house,and access is easy because one could almost stand up where the trapdoor leading inside is.So waddya think? 2 aircooled
600's work? Of course,like i said b4,this all just theoretical.
I'm quadriplegic and i'm waiting for the day when my
state will finally get it's shit together and allow mmj.

Squid 420, It sounds like your space should work fine considering what you are working with. What kind a fan and how many CFM do you plan on using?

 

[squid_420]

That's another thing....what cfm is suggested?I
thought about a dayton squirrell cage-type,even
if it's a little noisy,the walls are extremely thick.

they make 1000w Eye Hortilux self reflected bulbs meant to hang vertically with no reflector

If you dont use a reflector you will loose,waste light.
WWW.NATIONALGARDENWHOLESALE.COM.You are in America?They have a new range of state of the art reflectors,lighting,nutrients,organics,instruments,propagation,media.Super sun 2 looks like it would do the job for ya.Their phone no west 1(888)478-6544.
They can provide all off your requirements,their staff have 85 years of combined expeirience and will be able to give you great advice.
Co2 would be great if you already had everything set up the room and is worth thinking about adding.
Have you ever thought about computer controlled growing?
