Newbie getting started....

[Maggotspawn]

just got medical here in Oklahoma recently and setting up a grow room, have a bunch of work to do on it but here is what I have so far. I need to rework my ducts and tuck up the loose wires when I get my carbon filters. any helpful advice? it's a 5 x 7 utility room with 2 1000 watt hoods. just switched plants to the MH hoods from the T5 fluro so I have the hoods up pretty high until they get used to it. I ordered seeds from Canuk and have hash plant,obi wan, white widow, AK and GG4 and a northern lights auto, not growing very fast however. (couple of pepper plants in there at moment too)

You sure went balls to the wall. Nice!

I would straighten out the ducts as best you can. Elevate your pots a bit, perhaps with some milk crates or plant caddies as you do not want the bottoms of your pots sitting in water. Clean up the wires, when you are wall mounting you shouldn't allow them to hang like that. Looks like shit. Would take you one minute to secure the wires to the ceiling. Good work otherwise.

id remove the reflective stuff from the floor because when you look down the light will be reflecting in your eyes plus i believe plants don't absorb light from under the leaves. i run black plastic on m grow floor
clean all that spaghetti wiring up and put that cfl in the bin same with them leds

Rather than using all that shiny stuff I would have went with a good flat white paint or orca film

would have been cheaper for sure, reflective stuff is roll insulation as it is an un-insulated part of garage. (probably didnt help that much)

They shiny stuff like that can create hot spots. If it rest is framed you should have been able to insulate the walls flat white and panda or orca diffuses light better without creating hot spots on your plants. The shiny stuff isn’t the best.
