Flowering room

#762806 - 12/22/14 04:27 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

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 C^o2 and cooler air in plus four 90^o 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 :crazy:

)

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.
