Hey guys,
I strarted a thread about 8 months ago about the Ultimate Urban Attic Growroom.... Well, The project is nearing completion and I can officially call it a 'Grow Room' now.
The space measures 25'X10' at the floor. The height is about 6' down the length of the attic, sloping down to about 3.5' at the walls.
For electricity, I ran a subpanel in the attic and ran a line to my main panel with a 40 amp breaker for total power. I ran 4 separate circuits on 15 amp breakers in the attic off the sub.
On the walls, I totally stripped down the old weathered wallboard that was up there. I insulated the entire wall space and ceiling joists to at minimum of an R-19 rating.... Some places are up to R-30.
There is a HUGE vent at the rear of the attic where I will put the exhaust of my ventilation... That will put the exhaust almost 30 feet off the ground, so I am not TOO worried about smell... Though if it starts to get noticeable, I will take measures.
Anyway, that is a quick overview of the work so far. I still have a bunch to do, but I moved my 4 lil babies up there tonite... they could not wait hehehe.... I culled 2 out of the six I started, they were just weak.
Here are some pics.
