Subbed!!!!!! Thanks for letting me know. :D

Looking great man! I wish that I could build myself a little split room in the garage and ditch the tents. :)

Looks good bro, now for lighting you will need 50 watts per sqft. Looks like about 6x6 so thats 36 x 50 =1800 watts of hid lighting.

I bought 3 1000 watt quantum balasts and 3 raptor knock off hoods. The flower room is just shy of 15'x8' and the veg room is 5'x8' I'm going to throw another raptor knock off in there and veg 1000 watt halide plus a 4' 8 bulb t-5 in the corner to put a mother or 2 under.

I like your set-up. Sounds a lot like mine.
Wait until you find a house with a basement, with an old chimney going from the basement thru the roof!;-)

I have an old chimney stack next to my room. I was thinking of using it to exhaust so I cut a whole in it and it smelled funky! There was a lot of dust and stuff in there too. That made me concerned that there may be stuff inside the chimney stack hat I wouldn't want getting into my room... Maybe pests?

whatnare your thoughts on this?

do you have any kind of filter to make sure nothing travels into your room?

Thx

This chinmey goes from the basement floor, up thru 2 floors & attic & 6' above the roof. The is so much draft up the chimney, I don't need an exhaust fan, it will suck your hair straight! I can't imagine much going upwind from the chinmey.

It wasn't by accident ABM. The day they passed prop215, I sold my house & moved into a rental, & started looking. We looked just about every other weekend for 1 & 1/2 years until we found this house with a full basement. Just start looking!

I've got the flower room all insulated and rocked up, tomorrow I'll knock out the veg room and spackle what I can. Maybe even put up the outside plywood if I've got time.

I've got a water line in but I need to connect it and I got in a rush so I'm gonna have to run it outside the wall rather than inside. I want to put an ro and resiviour outside the door to the veg room.
