Hello,
I am new here to this site, and also new to growing but I think it will be a fun hobby, and also very informative with plant growing.
Okay so I was just browsing posts on here, and I had this great idea for a grow setup (well what i think would be a great idea). But im not sure so I need all the opinions I can get.
So my idea is...
Couldnt you get a cheap clothes dryer and gut it out for a grow setup? I mean it would be a pretty roomy space and I believe since the door has rubber stripping around it it will also be lightproof. also you could connect the exhaust fan right to the exuast in the house for the dryer and have all the stale air go right outside. And also there would be a high voltage plug in right there too(i believe the ones im talking about are 220V?) You could run all the wires right into the main dryer plug in and not have to worry about trippng the circuit at all.
Also, the noise of the fans might not be as big of a deal either because laundry rooms are usually kinda tucked in a corner of a house and if some glanced it wouldnt be to unusal because dryer make noise anyway when running. I mean if you really wanted to go all out you could even remove the drying dials on the front and install your light timers right there.
So now my questions are...
Would it get extremely hot in there because the whole thing is made of metal?
And would it be possible to splice into the 220v plug to plug everything into one outlet?
And also, i dont know how practical it is because most people need to use the space, exaust vent and plug in for a working dryer for there clothes.
But maybe if you have a second laundry room it might work?
Any input on this would be great! Thanks
