Hey everyone, as the title suggests, I'd like to set up a grow space.
The available space is 6'W x 5'L x 7'H. Note that the floor wall and cieling of this space is plywood. These is a already a mesh filter of some sorts I'm guessing for air exchange. *note that this space is a small trailer next to my house
I am virtually clueless when it comes to everything that goes into a successfully incognito grow room.
What I'd like to do:
-Hydroponics(Thinking about this ebb and flow https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=70262)(I'm going to install a regular overflow valve instead of doing his method of draining the flood table.)
-Have space for a decent amount of clones(5-10) Have space for a few mothers (1-4) and a decent sized flowering space.
-Use no more than ~600 or so watts for the entire space.
Okay so, those are goals I want to achieve with this space. Now making it happen is the hard part.
I have a ton of questions and will ask them all. Answer any of them that you can and personal tips are always a big help as well.
1. Should I use plywood, insulation board, a tent of some sorts or what when building a divider between the 3 areas (veg/clone/flower)?
2. What am I going to have to do to make this area 100% smell proof? (*Note that mesh screen thing that provides FAE)
3. Living in an area with high humidity, will I have to add a dehumidifier?
4. Me living in a hot area, and the trailer being a dark color, will I have to buy a water chiller for my res or add AC to do space?
Those are all of the questions I have for right now. Now here is a list I've been compiling of everything I'm going to need to buy.
(For the ebb and flow table itself):
8 1/2 adapters
8 elbow with side outlet
130-170 gph sub. pump
Black 1/2 ID Tubing
3 1/2 barbs
4 4ft 1/2 pvc tubing
1 tub from concrete section of lowes (the smaller one)
super glue
Duct tape
10 Gallon rubber maid res.
For the room:
Mylar
Material to divide up the space into 3.
Rockwool
Hydroton
4" net pots
Lights(thinking of doing a 150W mh for the mothers, 400w hps flower and 50w t5 for clones)
Hygrometer
Thermometer
Ventilation material(idk what to do for this)
Now everyone, thank you very much for the input. Everything and anything is appreciated. Anything you have to add, suggest or recommend is appreciated. I'm very new at this and willing to learn so please, by all means, bombard me with as much information as possible.
