Yeah I used flat white in my current grow room but I was thinking about a rubberized paint will hold up better then other shit. Just a thought, I also liked the 90% reflectiveness! Your side growth counts for 40% of your yeild so I will drop $60 on paint, not too worried about it.

How are you not taking a hit by selling that computer so cheap for what it is? Not judging your practices but wouldn't you want more cash?

I only ask why so cheap because you mentioned it was pretty pricey. Remember, I know nothing about gaming computers :D But, if I had an educated guess I would say CL isn't your only option. Maybe put it on consignment somewhere, or hell even see what a pawn shop has to say. If you're only expecting 1,000 and it's worth as much as you say than you should put your feelers out to see who else is interested. Being proactive will sell it if nothing else.

So today I was researching the proper air exchange and vent.

He said that proper air exchange should take 5mins.

With my set up I should have full air exchange in about 45sec.

So my question is should I have it on a thermostat or on a timer

Or should I leave my exhaust on and have fresh on temp control I think this guy confused me lol

Ill link he shit when I get home

Personally I'd leave the exhaust running, with the fresh air intake wired through a thermostat. Having full air exchange in 45 sec is a bonus! 5 minutes would be a minimum recommendation for a grow room. You can either pick up a fan controller, or just wire your exhaust through a dimmer switch to make it fully adjustable. Throttle it down when the lights have been off for an hour or two.

You can get a dampner to control your fan. They are cheap I got one on mine. I can turn the fan up and down according to the temp in the room.

A thermostat is nice to have but a control for your fan(s) will work if you pay attention to temperature. Either way. And don't listen to homeboy at the store. You want to exchange the air atleast 1-2 times a minute. You're on the right track.

Well thank you, you three for the information its helps.

I think im going to have the exhaust fan on a dimmer switch and the fresh air on the thermostat.

So i have all the hot air constant flowing out when it get to toasty bam fresh cooler air from outside!!

So than maybe in the winter i wont chill my plants

thanks again for the info guys/gals if any

Hey great start my best peice of advice to insulate!!! I tried to grow in the attic almost as badly setup as the one dude who posted with a tent literally in the attic. Not talking shit abt his setup but we were as bad off from day -1. Next off just keep a god eye if u think it could be a problem with something u have encountered then research it early to fix it. Just saying, almost lost momma to a nute defic. Best of luck

I just bought the Mylar for the room.

I bought 55inch wide by 50 foot by 2mm thick

It will be enough to cover the flower room all around, ceiling and floor.

Hopefully have some extra to put some in the veg. room

It cost 38 bucks with 10 shipping.

Post some pics up in a couple days once it gets here.
