OK Everyone.. Let me first say, please do not respond to this thread..... I would like to have this thread setup to read like a DIY thread. If ya wanna give props to thread pls just do a 'Thanks' or respond in my current grow journal.
Let me start this lil guide by saying that I tried to grow in my attic a while back.... It did not work very good. My attic gets VERY hot and humid. So in this lil guide I am going to go over some basic construction information and hopefully make it easy to understand on how to make a bad place inot a virtual garden paradise.
I live in a typical Urban 2-Story house with a nearly full size attic that is not insulated and some poon thought that putting up wallboard some 20+ years ago would help.
This guide is going to cover everything from basic stripping down of original walls to installing air pumps. All this will include running dedicated electrical circuits (Please learn about electricity before attempting anything read here for your own use.) Drywall finishing. Installation of Ventilation, maybe a lil bit of Air Conditioning. Proper lighting and anything else I can think of while writing this guide....
This guide I am expecting to take approxiomately 4-6 weeks to complete.....(That is the reason I am asking for no responses, for I would like this to read like a how to).
The building of this grow room is going to have the goal of having enough room for a 12 bucket DWC Hydroponic Grow that could possibly be expanded to 18 or 24 buckets. (5 gallon buckets that is). the plans here will include room for Mother plants to be grown and room for Cloning.... I will try to encompass Most of the higher end techniques in the build and come up with some very cost effective measures to do the same for MUCH less...... I also have plans to teach on how to build your very own Water Farm using gear that you can buy for half the price.... I also hope to teach DWC'ers on how to build a controller bucket to maintain their water levels on these systems over a period of time.
If you have any Ideas on a How to that might be incorporated into this guide pls holler in my Grow Journal.......
1st Installment will be this weekend and will encompass the initial teardown of the old wallboard and get us down to bare skeleton of the house.
