Ok, I am setting up a new indoor grow room. I have never grown bud before however I have done a lot of research.
I am going to attempt a Hydroponics set up, which hopefully you should be able to recognise with my rough mock up of what I'm hoping it will look like. Because the room is reasonably large (6' 9" x 2' 7" x 8' 3") I was looking to have separate flowering and vegetation rooms, this way I can keep mother plants in one room and continually clone them, then once they have reached the right size I can move them into the budding room.
This entire room is located in my basement and has already been cleaned out and painted white, I am going to line the walls with tarpaulin and then place mylar around where the plants will be situated. Ventilation will be achieved through a combination of oscillating fans and squirrel cage fans (1 large oscillating fan in the small alcove located at the back, for the flowering room, 1 small oscillating fan located near the entrance, for the vegetation room, and 1 squirrel cage fan located at the top of each of the rooms)
In the vegetation room I was thinking of having a combination of cool white and warm white fluorescents for the new clones and a 600w metal halide bulb for the mothers and older clones (I may later choose to just have the mh lamp). The flowering room would contain a 600w high pressure sodium bulb.
The images attached are a very rough design of what I would like the room to look like (just the plants, not lighting/ventilation etc) and although it may not look like this in the end I wanted you guys to have an idea of the shape of the room. All the attached images are to scale.
Dimensions:
Large room - height 6' 9"
- width 2' 7"
- depth 8' 3"
Small room - height 4' 7"
- width 2' 9"
- depth 2' 7"
At the moment this is all hypothetical and I am open to change if you can help think of any ways to manage my space better. At the moment the small room is only being used to fit a largish oscillating fan because it can not be easily accessed without having to disturb the plants in the flowering room.
