well ive ordered 2 400w hps fixtures and im going to split my room into 3 sections 1 for veg with the 2 MH lights 1 for flowering and one for clones that will have my floros on shelfs and will inclose them with plexi for humidity for them im going to have to run another breaker to the room ive got 2 15 amp already run to rafters above the box for lights and fan ive also got but now that im adding the cloning area ive decided that another breaker would make it safer and less chance to pop my breakers also the mh will run on standard timers but ive got to order timers for the hps lights.

grow room has been insulated and painted flat white, insulation has been wrapped on the outside of the box with 6 mil greenhouse plastic and the top of the box was insulated and given a special foil backed styrofoam insulation to help erase heat sig, floor and 6 inches up the walls will be wraped in rubber roofing to stop water sepage and to inshure ease of cleaning going to a hydro shop next weekend and getting mylar and fox farm soil and nutes lights are going to be hung connected to a 2"x4" with stepped slots on eachside of the room to raise and lower ive begane to design a cooling system that places inlet and exhuast beside the light without tube because i cant justify spending an extra $100 on some pyrex. Im steadly making progress and also i got my family physician to perscribe me marijuana so when the 17th of april rolls around here ill be all legal.

donkey942 · Mar 16, 2009

Thursday (payday) im goin to go get some mylar and soil and ferts (fox farm) from the local hydro shop, Ill post pics tom. when i put up the door im also waiting on 2 400w hps that i bought refurbished from a store in cali ment for a warehouse but im going to take out the socket and extend them into grow room their going to take 3 weeks to get here so im going to start with the MH lights i got and some floros on the sides im going to grow the first batch untill they show sex and then ill decide weather ill just bud in the room or build another room (basements pretty big.)
