Awww, now I am starting to feel sorta guilty about the whole painting idea:(

Here I am all motivated to go and prep the room, and you guys are admiring the parque:cool:

I will heed the advice of the 'masses' and look into Mylar.:thumbsup: Besides, I am a long ways out from actually UTILIZING this space. I am just a FORWARD THINKER.

And thanks for stopping in fellas. You are definitely welcomed here, and all of your insights and suggestions are much appreciated.

So I am starting to hone my thoughts more towards the Hydroponic (soiless) recirculating side.... Yeahhhhh, and I find myself Thinking...........:smokin:

I was initially thinking the same thing, but since I am also thinking of using individual air stones to distribute the Nutes via the Gravity drip system, (aquarium hose to each pot with an air stone on the end) I anticipate the bucket will only serve as a run-off/collector/ Excess root holder.

And if I get the delivery system right balanced with the right amount of H2O/Nutes, I should be able to set this up and monitor w/o all the mess I know I am soon to experience with my Soil Grow.

But to answer your Q.

The Net baskets are 5 Gallons in volume possibly more. (they weren't exactly intended for the use I am concocting)

The Mop Buckets are 3 Gallons or so in Volume. But we will see.

Technique2....

When i said take your hobby seriously....shit i didnt think you would start so quickly.....man i wish i had the room you have now but i can wait.....ill just stockpile and find deals on equipment till i have the space....I really cant wait to see this....Good luck.....and sorry for what i started with the wood.....but weedhound was right....with a little sanding and finish...those closets could probably make a nice floor...but shit with the yeild that other room could give you....you could just go out and buy some fantastic floors and save the pain and heartache.....

Ha!

Well, I am a person that starts with VERY little knowledge and understanding in a subject, but I QUICKLY get up to speed with the basics working my way towards the complex. On the topic of my Venture, I am learning all the do's and don'ts just for the SETUP portion. I.E. aluminum foil is BAD. Mylar is good, Flat white is acceptable. Insights like these which I have read countless times, seen people who have used the GOOD the BAD and the UGLY and their results, formulated my perspective and moved forward.

Well, PERFECTIONIST may be a stretch in my case, but I do like CONFORMITY. So If WeedHound for example has instructed someone else in another thread, well, Technique2 will apply that knowledge that WeedHound has imparted directly to MY Venture.Why, because I am a person that respects someone else's growths and triumphs (inspiration) as well as their short-comings and failures (insights). If they can help me an any way, I am all ears, (or eyes in our case)

(as I said in Rock.Steady's thread, YOU WILL WIN)

Well Ssid Technique2....I will you all the luck in this endeavor....seems like you got a lot of people hoping for the best..
Keep up the good work

Thank you very much. I am pulling for you and ANYONE who is giving this hobby or horticultural method a go.

hey Tech,
nice start, the brainstorming kinda reminds me of my 'little' grow, which spawned a whole sub-room and A/C dedicated to the space in summer. details in my 1st thai log.
what started as a small cabinet turned into a stealth flowering room, 3ft wide, 8ft tall and 7ft deep, with useable floorspace 3x5ft and 8ft ceiling, cut 6in hole thru ceiling for vent to attic, and a 250W HPS, which im sure will be upgraded to 400w (possibly with added T5's vertically in the corners), in the coming weeks.

ur venting will help, but summer will be a challenge. u may need some a/c action nearby;)

IMO, u mentioned a larger closet nearby. THAT would be my flwr chamber. the one u have setup would be veg.

as to white and that lovely wood...

no to mylar. u'll get hot spots and burn the plants

I would feel bad painting that wood. can u afford that thin white sheeting? if so, get that instead so it can be removed to show that beautiful wood, sometime in the future.

thats all i have for now.

Good Luck on ur grow!:thumbsup:
i'll be watching:cool:
