my new grow space

[busteruk7]

hello all well i thought i would show you all my new grow space
well it all started off with a 600w hps and ballast that i aquired from my m8 swizzy a few months ago
i spent about £100 today getting bits and bobs for my setup
because of the heat issue associated with the 600hps i got a new hood and a proper extractor fan, i got thermal insulated duckting for less noice and i lined the walls with that black and white polythene sheeting and to put it all together it took me and my m8 about 4 hours lol this is a big step up from the 2 plants that im used to doing in my bedroom closet to about 8 in the loft he he he cant wait till harvest time
i still need to finish this lil job i just need more money to do it lol
ill upload pics and any thoughts or improvements will be grately apreiciated
ill get some more decent pictures of it tomoz
cheers all

Looks good mate, are you using the HPS for the Vegging stage ? I dont know alot but you will be better with a MH or cool white CFL for veg, the go 12/12 with the HPS.

Hey buster thats gonna be a cool grow room
What's left to do? Are you gonna vent outta the eaves or somewhere else?
One concern i'd have is the insulation to the roof, are you gonna put some up? Where i am theres police helicopters around at least a couple of nights a week and i'd be worried they could see a hot roof or being the only house in the street without snow on the roof in winter. Whats everyone elses thoughts on this?

Peace :rasta:

[busteruk7]

well i still need to get another fan , a peice of glass to seal the hood properly and i need to sort out the floor get trays for all the pots to stop the water flowing all over the floor i still need to get the back wall lined properly
and as you say get the roof insulated if the fans do there job at pulling the heat away from the light then ill leave the insulation what ya think
cheers all

Better safe than sorry as far as the insulation goes I'd reckon. In Ireland, I'd proabably leave it as I think the cops here have 2 helicopters lol but if I was UK resident, I'd probably insulate. It'll save you on heating bills too so it's a win-win situation.

[hudson88]

I'm not sure buster, maybe i'm a bit too paranoid but i'd insulate. However good your fan is for good growing conditions you'll want your temps around 75-80F and thats gonna be hotter than most lofts. I'd also think about cooling your exhaust before it goes outside i've heard on infra red it shows up like a waterfall. But i don't know if all police copters have infra red, or maybe you dont get copters where you are?
