After much research and planning I have designed a great little grow chamber that will suit my personal needs quite adequately. It is constructed in an unused shower located in a bathroom in my workshop.
The size of this space is 3'x3'x8', for security and light control I installed a lockable door with weather stripping.
Ventilation: is passive, via two 12'x12" holes passing from a climate controlled area into shower. One of these holes is at floor level and the other about 6' high, the air passes between 2 wall studs, the holes are covered with grills and filters. I then installed a 424cfm fan in the attic and brought the 6" flex tubing thru the ceiling of shower.
Lighting: 600W cooltube with digital dimable ballast, MH & HPS bulbs.
Filter: I constructed a carbon filter from the DIY section of this site, it is mounted near the ceiling. The centrifical fan in the attic draws air thru filter and cooltube then exausts stale air near the eaves.
I am presently into my 5th week of a Wonder Woman grow and quite pleased with the results so far.......
I would like to add that I could not have done this without the information shared here at MP. Thanks, & stay safe.
