DIY Grow Room in outside wooden building

[blib]

I am planning to build a grow room by sectioning off a corner of the building. The building already has insulation but it gets pretty hot in summer about 30 degrees and down to 0 degrees in winter or more. It will be about 2.4 metre square. . I am thinking of using 75mm insulation board for the walls and lining inside with dimond difusion for reflectivity .Then using an air con unit and space heater in summer/winter. Any suggestions please.

Are you going to use c02? Also running lights at night can help you with temperature in both summer and winter

I have an outdoor wooden shed in southern California. I built with best insulation and non mold drywall and then caulking everywhere, airtight. Two 6" inline fans, 440 cfm, one intake and one exhaust with schroom filters to outside air. Growing at night and with 1200 true watts cob leds temperature is always a function of outside air. I have not been able to control environment except during mild winter weather so upgrading to air conditioner this next month. Shed is 5'x12' and 7' height.
White flat paint is a very good reflective surface which is easy to maintain. Noob also and co2 is last thing to worry about!

Switching to daytime growing because night growing is really a pain. Soil grows and I want to observe and work when lights come on and just before lights go off. Starting 12/12 at 7:30 pm then time change made it 8:30 and by time I water it is past my bedtime!

Finally, I could heat up room with lights to +20 Fahrenheit of outside when cold.

I have decided to go smaller.1.2x 1.2 m. Going to use air cooled 600watt hps and 150mm fans for intake and extraction.Maybe go 900watt led in the summer. Just hoping temps will be ok.

Where are You? If you have cold winters your going to have to use co2 bc your not going to be able to draw air from outside.

30 degrees in summer? Are you talking Celsius?

Your location is your factor on what's going to make for the best artificial environment possible.

I missed where OP is located.

We often have 30º summer days here. Humidex can drive that up to 40.

 

[hotrodharley]

Your lowest temps in winter? And in general where are you located?
