Drew this up today, basically the first schematic of grow room number two.
The room would be 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep, height is variable but likely around 6 foot tall.
I would have 16 plants in 8 pots (2 plants per pot). Each pot is 2 feet wide, 1 foot deep and 1 foot tall. Mainly using this setup because I already have these pots, and they will perfectly fill a 4 foot by 4 foot grow area. On the right of the image below you can see a vertical view of where the stems of the clones would be.
In my drawing I gave each plant 1 cubic foot of space to grow in below the screen, is that a viable amount of space?
I want to use a screen growing technique for maximum light penetration. A 400 watt air cooled HPS (with a 250 CFM inline) will sit above the plants, and 4 separate 2 bulb 4 foot flouros will sit sideways on each wall of the room, facing the sides of the screen within 4 inches of the plants. See the picture if that doesn't make sense, two of them are drawn. I already have these lights from my current grow, so I figure why not add some lumens. This would equate to 400 HPS watts, and 320 flouro watts.
This will be inside a shed, with air being forced into the grow space on the bottom with a simple house fan, and air being drawn out with an alleged 2000 CFM box fan, although I estimate it actually only pulls about 500 CFM with the carbon scrubber I put on it.
With the air cooled HPS and the box fan in conjunction with forced intake, is this enough ventilation for this room?
My first grow is going much better than expected, you can check it out here
Basically now I have proof of concept, I want to make a higher quality permanent grow space. If you see any flaws with my design or could offer any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Feel free to mock my design if it is constructive.
Thanks, and plus rep for any assistance of course.
Peace
