seems this page is turning 2 fold how to build a dream grow room and how to use the blasted roll it up web sight... this is embarassing.
No reason to be embarassed,your taking the time to learn & do it right the first time,this will help you achieve much better results than just rushing in head first.

ok first thats the hydronic heat board the chimney is behind that.
notice the pipe that go's from that threw the room
there is a window in the room and you may notice that pipe runs close by the window.
and last is the light box with the timer.
that has one of those switches gf something.
I learned much by watching and being told ya know the watchie that is next to the do jobby... and the do hickey ya know ... so simple terms to you may be foreign to me

ummmm o ya fire extinguishers YES i have some. I am serious.
next that plug. well I had that NEW service box put in the house 3 years ago {got tired of blowing a fuse when ever I tried to warm a cup of coffee when the fridge was running.
well one go's up to my room on a dedicated line. the other is a wire ran from the fuse box and stops there. says fireplaces on the fuse box... we don't have fire places { I had to say somthing for wanting a line to no where.

ok guys. its a smaller room for a big light.
the outside room has the start shelves.
I can not make foolish mistakes. so please if you would be willing tell me if this was yours how would you design it. for the air flow in the air flow out. the light. ect ect
I have worked my butt off hauling dirt, making a floor. stoping a wall from crumbling. insolating. hanging drywall. painting, pouring concrete, laying pavers all the bull work now its the fun part... making it work....

and it turns dead silent on this side of the moniter.....
not sure if your rolling on the floor laughing yourselfs 1/2 silly
or what.... BUT I did print everything you said last night. every link.
stayed up reading and re-reading all of it.
kept my word by measure and pics.
even checking the fire extinguisher's in the shop.
everything that has been told to me so far I can see great merit in.
and I am begging for all the valid suggestions you may offer.
what go's where?
if you tell me why I will have gained a greater insight.
and thus I will do as I am told.

i suppose you are talking about the air flow and ventilation setup.

have you located a spot near ground level for your intake? you always want to take in air at the lowest point. exhaust at the highest point, as hot air rises!

the carbon filter/scrubber will tame and control those stinky scents and such.

use that basement window.

is stealth an issue here? do you have nosey neighbors?

if not use the window for intake and exhaust!

ok. stealth is always an issue.
2 issues....
one a butternut tree that WILL BE CHOPED down come spring. have 2 folks that love to go collect butternuts from there...
the other little harder is the gas man has to walk past that once a year or so to fill the tank.. But I know when he comes.
and I believe it or not planted nedles BY that basement window to keep folks away.
I have been thinking about this project for sometime.

great!

you must not be in the US, may i ask where you are located? dont be all specific just want to know what region/area


as far as venting and shit goes, find me an area where you can attach fans to and route ducting. Make sure when routing ducting that you do it in such a way where there is little bending as possible!!! Less restriction equals better air and constant air flow!

also, if you use insulated ducting it will reduce the amount of noise and noise of air flow being pushed/pulled through

when taking in air from the outside (intake) make sure you have a screen or some type of filter over it!

the light reflector that you posted, it can also be air cooled as well!

take the pc fan off, plug/hook up ducting to each side of the reflector where the holes are. You can either duct the heat outside.....or run the ducting through out the house to take advantage of the free heat!!!!

you must cool that light. 1000 watter get pretty hot. I see it also has a glass and its sealed. That is great for when/if you want to upgrade and add a co2 setup in the room.

you wont have to worry about odor control with the light! because the light is sealed, it wont have to be odor treated, the air wont be contaminated with stinky funky marjiuana air. (because one again, the light will be sealed right?)

o? I am made in the USA dwell on the wide open prairie. VERY small community where every one knows everything even if it isent so. I stick to myself. but I sware no matter how cloistered you may try an be someone has to come round. never fool yourself about that. so super stealth is the order of the day. MUST keep the smell away... and grow lots of herbs little lettice an spinich for cooking and method to the madness of why I want this little grow room.
understand what I am saying??

yes i understand....you want to have something like an underground indoor greenhouse? lol!!! thats pretty cool!


charcoal carbon filters and ionizers/generators will keep that smell in check!!

I figured it could..... and with an assortment of basil and tea blends with a little few plants note the word FEW!!! sog. small sea... with stuff infrunt so you can't see it from standing at the door and play with grafts and clones I figured that could be a LOT of fun. I don't want any large scale production heavens I wouldent know what to do if I had it. and honistly don't think I would want to learn that.
