Starting a new grow and have never done anything this big before, always been in tents or small rooms. I have mostly everything designed but wanted to get some advice on a couple things from anyone willing to help. So my specs are...
Space: 16 x 12 unfinished basement
Veg area: 5x12
Flower area: 8x12
Curing area: 3x8
Work area: 4x3
Lights in veg: 2 1,000w MH, 1 T5HO fixture
for flower: 6 1,000 HPS
thinking of doing open wing on all HID lighting
A/C in veg: 10,000 - 15,000 BTU
for flower area: 35,000 - 40,000 BTU
both mini splits
Sealed rooms with CO2 tanks and dehumidifiers in all areas
1-2 wall mounted or standing oscillating fans per light in every room
Odor control for veg: 8in inline 700ish cfm with carbon filter
for flower: 2 8 in inline 700ish cfm with carbon fliter
cure area: 6in inline 400ish cfm with carbon filter
So that's the bare bones of the build so far. A couple questions as I've never done anything this big so figuring the BTU's and cfms was new to me.
Do you guys think I'm overdoing on the A/C?
For the inline fans, I want to exchange the air every 1-2 mins so I figure I'd go a little higher on the cfm side do you think that's overkill?
Also a first using CO2 and building a sealed room, so a lot of first. Thanks in advance for any advice
