It's a great hobby, isn't it? And you haven't even dipped a seed yet? You know it's gonna be a minute for those little ones to grow, so I'm wondering where the head start room is?

Sadly I have no such room, but seeds are popping whilst I hang the lights right about now so we're good over here

curious why you didn't use 2x6 for your walls for more insulation? looks like you did for the roof?

 

[ruwtz]

i kinda forgot already from your other thread
but yiuve been growing how long?

best way to get wet is to put both feet in and fall huh?

i dont think thats the phrase

are you suggesting i'm destined for failure?

[1] Maximizing floor space in a tight footprint, [2] R19 insulation in 2x6 isn't a big enough jump from R13 in 2x4 to offset the additional cost, [3] and its not hugely necessary in this climate, and plus [4] I had lots of 2x4 studs already.

Here's the R13 insulation batts loaded into the wall cavities. R19 between the rafters in the ceiling.

You thirsty. Lol. Quick overview, just for you: IndicaOG's only (Bubba, Skywalker, GSC), closed environment in coco with General Hydro's flora trio, x4 Gavita 750DE's with 3-ton AC + scrogging, added CO2 obv, x2 Mars II 300 LED panels for veg.

I rented a drywall lift to help me get the sheets onto the ceiling and the high walls. This thing is essential when working alone like I was.

You can also see where i've used expanding foam to fill any gaps in the wall that might leak air/moisture.



Drywall up and seams/screws taped. I didn't bother with second/third coats as the wall surface isn't important to me at this stage. I can pick this job up later if for some reason one day this ends up not being a grow room.

Here's my janky ass work station and fittings built into the veg room.



And all painted flat white like the rest of the room, using a latex-based primer with mold/fungus resistance.

You can see I have a small space for cutting clones, writing journal etc, adjacent to the sub panel.



Ample storage built with scrap siding finishes off these cupboard doors. I also built in a little drawer for small tools and pens etc. Minor detail but it has a lovely sliding action, lol. Something small like this feels like an achievement after building big for so many months now.



First lights hung were the 4ft T5's in the 2-level nursery. Its getting close now.

Be nice, lol

yes, totally closed. 36k of cooling should do the trick. I have a dehumi to throw in if necessary but i'm gonna see how the AC handles it first.
