Work has started on my new indoor grow

[BCSticky]

Hi all just getting things going in my new rooms, I will be using several new to me methods may mainstay however is always organic soil mixs.
I have set my overall goal to be a sustainable perpetual grow that produces my meds but will also give me room to do some strain hunting in the process with the ability to follow several genetic lines thru a few generations I am seriously considering a male flower to collect some pollen for future cross breeding projects.
I have just finished my main flower room it is 4'6"x7' ceiling hight is over 8 feet so hight constraints will hopefully be kept to a minimum. I am running twin hid MH in both 400 watts and 600 watts digital running 240vac.
My light and room venting duties are covered with a single 4 inch can type turbo fan pulling room air thru light hoods dumping out side.fresh air is drawn in from direct vents from outdoors but are tempered in a lung room with warmer air before being drawn in to flower in one of several venting holes that will be in the near future in my vegging room.
My soil mix atm is baised on roots original with several roos dry ferts, ewc, in additional to earth juice organic line mixed with roots lineup.
I welcome any and all feed back hope to hear from you guys and gals alike thanks for reading.

You'll get more attention with pictures

Sounds well thought out. What's the cfm/wattage on the outtake fan? Must be a humdinger of a unit.

Well I have a few pics on the way some veggies and some room shots, I will be going into some more detail on the venting system shortly I have a diagram that was used to figure out the flow of fresh air as well as lighting exhaust all done with 4in ductwork. I am in the process of finishing that aspect of my rooms, with that in mind temperatures seem to be very stable both in light and dark cycles, (exhaust fan is always on).

When I first built my room, I did exactly what you did. The first time I watered, it leaked a crap load of water under the plastic. I replaced it with this:

Eleven years later, haven't had leak one. I've never punctured it, like dropping scissors points down, but if I did, I'd go to a bike shop and get a simple patch kit. Great stuff. Good luck. -granger

New soil mix

New soil mix

Well I made up a little mix of soil today the base of course is pro mix with myco I am using some organic rice hulls for airation some Alaskan 100% organic humas and ewc as humic acid starter scores I picked up some rainbow grow with both humic and myco and used less than half strength just as a light aid for nutes. So I will keep an eye on it and see how it starts them out
