Flowering room

So I guess for starters it is 8' x 8' and 7.5'tall. I wish I could have made it 8' tall but the ceiling is 8' exactly. I had to take down the ceiling fan just to make it this tall.
The plastic I used is white on one side and Black on the other. I used wood mostly because it's cheaper per foot and I had parts/hardware left from another project.
I used an 8" inline fan to cool the hood and pull air through the carbon filter. The ducting I used was 6" to match the light. It is then exhausted in the same room that I built flowering room in. I used a 6" inline fan to bring Co2 and cooler air in plus four 90o adjustable elbows to try and keep the light out. I plan on putting a piece of filter on the outside of the fan to keep some dust out. I put some left over plastic over the window to help keep light out of room.
The First pic is the fan that will cool the hood/remove smell. The second is the exhaust from said fan. The third pic is of the fan that will bring fresh air into the room (taken from the inside). And the fourth is of the same fan from the outside. (Sorry the last three are sideways)
Again I was trying to save money so instead of building a doorframe and buying a door, I bought 3 hinges, a 4' x 8' piece of particle board, as well as 1/2" foam to keep light out. I used bolts/wingnuts to keep the door shut and light out, it doesn't take more than a min to get in there. I should have used 3.5" bolts instead of 4" but I just drilled the holes a little small and used the threads to keep it in place. You can see the backside of the carriage bolts sticking out in one of the pics.
The first pic is of the inside of the door before I had finished all the plastic. (the first 10' X 25' package of plastic ran out before the last corner. I left it open until the end so I had extra light to work in.) The second pic is of of the outside of the door before the plastic was finished in the corner. The third pic is of the 1/2" foam which blends in with the duct tape, as well as one of the three bolts used to close door. The last pic is of the door when room was finished.
I bought a 1000W HPS w/air cooled hood. It's connected to the carbon filter to remove smell and cool hood simultaneously. Hoping for some good results, I don't know how hot it gets after the light has been on for a while, will have to wait til veg is done. I set up the room so I can have a second ebb/flow set up with a second light. If heat becomes a problem I can always turn the ballast down to 75% but I hope not. I plan on running the light from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M.to try and even up my energy usage some
The first pic is of the light and carbon filter. The second pic is the underside of light. I turned on the light for the third pic, which shows the whole set up (mostly). The fourth pic is of the empty space I plan to use for another set up at some point down the road.

Thanks it was a lot of work but cheaper than a large tent I believe. I kinda like projects like this. I never took woodworking/shop in school because it wasn't offered so this helps me to be more handy. I don't do a professional job, but each project is better than the last

My room within room walls and doors are just ultra light cheap wood strip framing. You can use the plastic to make walls and doors on framing ect for ease of removal and price...
Is yours a room within room flower/veg combo??

been getting some to ,window has an ice build up and the warmer air hits the cold basement walls making moisture ,humidity meter doesn't usually go out of the safe zone to much but im going to have to wash the one wall up because there are small spots of what looks like black mold appearing . would invest in a dehumidifier but ill be down grading to a 2 br in may so it will be fine to run for the time being

Thanks for advice, I checked last night and this morning there was none. I live in the desert, my RH is pretty low in my house. The plants don't raise it a whole lot.
Also I don't have real cold windows, I turned off my heater jan. 15 and had to turn on A/C it's starting to get pretty warm already.

lol thanks, since I posted the last update I added soundboard to the outside. I did it for two reasons, one to have something to staple the plastic too, and also to reduce noise. I made a mistake when I went with the 8" inline fan and a large carbon filter, they are too loud.
When I get some extra cash I will get two small carbon filters with two small fans to quite that room down. One will filter air going in to help keep pests out and the other will filter the air going out for obvious reasons. If I do another room I will just use drywall and skip the plastic/sound board.
Btw sound board is light weight and the same price/size as OSB. It certainly doesn't stop sound but it helps some and like I said its easy to put up yourself

I guess I forgot to update the build I changed it a bit, here are some pics from a couple weeks ago, The bud pics I took with and without the led on, the ones with purple have the LED on
These last couple pics give you and idea of what it looks like now, without the plant blocking the view. I've since added a 4th fan, I want to replace that with two smaller ones though.

Nice! Looks like the one of the best LEDs on the market. Im not big into LEDs and always stick to what has worked best for me which is Flouros, MH and HPS. Hows the room looking?

they don't look bad but they don't look as good as they should either, the buds are too fluffly, not very dense. This was my first time with sativa and using a screen, I will do better next time. Friday I harvest, I just changed out the water from a light ripening nute to just water with a lowered PH.
I'm not going to have any monster colas like my last crop of indicas but that's mostly because I cut them too low when I switched too flower.
