WhoD! my man..I am so sorry to hear what you have gone through, truly ANYONE who thinks growing top notch boo is easy is a fucking idiot!
I think the vapor barrier is a great idea, I just want to run it by Arminus as he knows my grow room and situation very intimately and I want to make sure it will work correctly or just be a source of Powder Mildew build up...I too am saving for the Santa Fe or DriEeze dehuey!
I can only move forward and thank you for the kind words, yeah my outdoor really turned out quit nicely!
A vapor barrier isn't really an option with the typical "Mountain" home in our neck of the woods. Houses built on a hillside in a rain forest presents a host of issues... There are numerous waterproofing options, but they will entail exposing the exterior foundation walls etc... In the long run, some HLM 5000 may do the trick...
