Thoughts, input, questions appreciated.

why is the veg room twice the size of the flower room. That seems a bit backwards to me.

Here are some pics of the gut job of the Mother/Veg/Drying area. Caulked, insulated, and lined with Panda plastic. Pics of flower room will come later...it's a storage cluster of equipment right now.

Veg room is 200 sf with 8' ceiling, Flower is 400 sf with 9.5' ceiling.

did you just change it on me? I could of swore it said 10X10 for the flower room...was so confused for a second. This is what happens when you browse the internet all day. Veg room is coming along very nice.

Ha Ha, gotcha! Yes I did, I f'd up the dimensions. Good catch!

Thank god...that means i haven't totally lost it.

This is the setup I will be using for the mothers, except I've upgraded the pump to an 1800 GPH Pan World:

The equipment listed in OP was about $12k not including mini split. If you include my cost to upgrade power, the HVAC, and the 2 month remodel...you don't even want to know.

I'm having a bit of a dilema here and hopefully someone on RIU land can help. My flower room is dialed...no worries there. However, my Mother/Veg room is also sealed, but I don't have a co2 source. Due to seasonal and daily major temperature fluctuations (35 - 70F Winter & 55 - 105F Summer), along with wanting to keep pests and molds out to whatever extent possible, I don't want to pull outside air. I have an AC/Heat source in the room, but I don't want it playing catch up all the time and wasting power. I also don't want to drop another huge chunk of change on co2 generator. Assuming we will be in and out of the mother/veg room daily (and spending a lot of time in there) and can circulate outside air into the room "manually"...meaning the room will at least be getting some daily exchange....can I get away w/o supplemental co2? I know added co2 will boost veg, but I want to draw the line somewhere on the ample equipment list you see above. I'm feeling butt hurt in the $$$ department lately. Thoughts?

if the veg room and flower room are side by side you could have some kind of fan on a timer to pull some air from one room to the other every hour or so to keep some kind of decent air in the room...just a thought.

I was thinking the same thing. They are in two, different buildings but they are only about 3 feet apart....although I'm not really excited about making four large penetrations (interior and exterior walls in each bldg), especially the flower since it's basically a brand new building with new drywall, etc. Hmmmm

 

[phishtank]

if its always going to be used for this...then might as well if it will help your situation...and then run insulated ducting between the two.

True...will probably go this route unless someone has any better ideas or methods??

Put a hepa filter on an intake?

 

[SupaM]

I second this idea for the easy fix. Get the organic hepa like this except it's Blue. ATB!
Nice room btw...

Yeah, have thought about that as well...but with that scenario, in the Summer months it's going to be pulling 100F+ air into a nice, 75 degree room forcing the AC to work overtime. Conversely, in the winter, it will be pulling in low 30F+ air causing the heater to work extra as well (Veg will mainly be T5s, so not a ton of light heat). This added AC and heating will really add up in the electrical bill dept.
