Can I use a home office / furnace room for my grow?

So I was going to setup a small tent in my home office for my new grow.
My home office borders on to the laundry room/furnace room with no door currently.

I was thinking maybe I should skip the tent and just grow in the room. I could even add a door to the furnace room.

Can I just put my lights in my room and work in there or will that be oppressively bright/humid?

Does a furnace suck in room air such that I can't filter the smells if I were exhausting that room?

Or maybe there is a different reason I don't want to spend too much time in there :|

Yeah most furnaces are going to suck air from the room. I dont see why you couldn't. Probably gonna smell up the place though. If you do make sure it's nice and dry down there, you dont want mold, and mushrooms to start growing like mine!!! Just assuming it's in the basement though.

Furnace room next to a laundry room would be an exceptionally bad place to grow without a tent. Not ideal with a tent either, but doable with filters. Laundry kicks up a lot of lint. Furnace will suck in the stank.

I did the entire veg period of my first ever attempt at autoflowers in my furnace area, right next to my water heater. Uncontrolled environment with about 70F and 40 RH max for both. They were also under a cheap Amazon blurple light and they thrived. Would have caused issues in flower but was fine for veg. Here they are their last day before going in a tent.

oh that's kind of a fun idea. Veg im the room and use a tent when flowering. It like doubles my space and solves the stinkyness problem.

Fuck you’re stupid dude. Dryers have filters for the lint it’s 2020,and they exhaust outside too.

Stop giving new growers retarded answers moron.

Picture of the furnace? The laundry shouldn't be an issue but need a pic of furnace to see if that will be an issue? Is the furnace gas ?

Yuppers gas furnace (not mine but same make)

I thought the home office thing would be a bigger deal than the furnace. I can put a door on that room if I need to. Or just flower in a tent and veg outside the tent as someone suggested.

I will also say my laundry room does not seem linty. My dryer is like 2 years old so maybe it's super duper? But I ran my fingers over some stuff and it wasn't dusty etc

I guess toward the topic — in most realities, the laundry room is a very lint-free place. Given that the dryer is pulling, filtering, and venting to the outside every time it runs.

Lint is a byproduct of the laundering process, not an element to be removed...
