Tact,
I'm still a little confused. I'm not familiar with the filter you are using. Will it let you exhaust through a duct?
The upper left active exhaust vent goes into a 4"x 12" square duct. Then where does that duct go to and what is it exhausting for , air circulation or heat?
Is the partition going to be sheet rocked on both sides or only one?
Personally I only did one side for 2 reasons: First one side was all I needed except for appearance purposes and very few people will ever be inside of the grow room to see the exposed studs, and second I getting old enough that I have to look at making the house salable some day and having fully framed walls dividing what could be a 10' x 12' bedroom into a 6' x12' room and a4' x12' room would be kind of hard to sell with unless I find someone who wants to have 2 indoor grow rooms.
That nifty drill bit that can cut circular holes in drywall, is it for one of those mini high speed router type things or does it go into your regular drill?
Either way be careful using it because if it is less than 1/8" thick at the thinnest point, it will break real easily if you put very much side pressure on it trying to cut too fast. I've tried them in the little high speed mini router and I have tendency to feed them too fast and break the bits. You need to be ready for a lot of airborne dust using any kind of power tools around sheet rock. Even using a hand saw causes a mess cutting sheet rock.
Do you realize that it really isn't all that much harder to cut a hole through the outer rafter joist, in your case the wall behind your water and water heater, than it is to cut one through the rim board at the end of the rafters, your case the back wall where you currently plan on venting the lights?
Hang in there. You're making great progress! Good smoking.
