I'm going to be building a detached garage just after the 1st of the year. I understand just about everything with regards to a sealed grow (A/C, heat, humidity, water, lights, electrical, etc..). EXCEPT how to actually seal the room.
DO I need to install a heavy plastic 'vapor barrier' on top of the insulation but behind the sheet rock? What else should I do?
There will NOT be any windows and only 1 door that will be a commercial type heavy-duty metal door with car swipe access. I will use a split a/c system to heat/cool the room and I will recycle the air inside and filter for odor control. There will be very limited air coming from outside. I will also supplement with CO2.
I'll attach a screen capture of the plans for the garage...As a side note the plans currently show 2 doors and 1 window. These will be removed during the build phase. The shop will be for flowering and the area marked 'storage' will be the veg and mothers/clones. Obviously this doesn't show the electrical or mechanical that will be installed. I plan on using a combination of 120v & 240v in the room. I will also have a sub-panel located in the garage.
What are your thoughts?
