So in the not too distant future, I will be moving to a house that has an unfinished portion of basement.
I'm planning on running a small grow, and would like to create a lung room. I have an idea in my head, but not sure if it will work as I think.
Completely seal off the grow room minus one 8" exhaust fan that leads into a work/lung room (this would run twice a day for ~15 minutes to "freshen" up the air). The work/lung room would have a fan blowing through an ozone generator and exhausted through an 8" duct that runs through the main floor and is exhausted outside on the roof. I'd also probably have a couple of small (or one large) filtered air intake exposed to the rest of the house. This fan would run 24/7. But I would get a speed controller for it so it wouldn't be running full bore all the time.
The idea is I would create negative pressure in the work/lung room, and leave the grow room sealed for CO2 enrichment. I would be purchasing a ductless AC unit and dehumidifier to control the humidity in the grow room (work/lung room would be too small to house). There would be some air draw possibly coming from the grow room. But since it's completely sealed, I can't imagine much would get pulled from there passively. I could put a damper on that duct to help control that if needed.
Am I way off base with this plan? Or am I spot on?
Any and all feedback is appreciated. Any improvements I can make now are easy do to this early planning phase, so fire away.
