My first grow room - from the ground up.

Get white!
You won't believe how much light you'll get reflected back!

I'm just finishing up rooms similar to yours and I got Stall Mats for the floor they're 4'x6' x 3/4" thick rubber mats they work really well specially for cement floors imo

Do they come in white?

 

[Shawns]

No I don't think so

 

[mwooten102]

My stall mats are black rubber and I've never seen any other color.

A friend gave me lenolium it's blue I'll take a picture and post it.

That's why I just paint mine white

Just read this. Great looking room and plants! Everything flat, bright white IMO.

Subbed up, looking fantastic, great work.

Personally, Id get them up off of the concrete, plywood floor.. I also love using styrofoam panels on all surfaces (iv even laid them on the floor, but replaced a few times a year.) not only insulates but its nice and reflective too.
Just thought Id toss my two pennies on the current subject at hand.

Along for the ride.

Peace

I'll sand the veg room tomorrow and then prime /paint it then final coat the both of them. How well will that paint work for the floor?

My ballasts, should I buy digilux bulbs?

 

[doublejj]

It will work good, you just have to re-paint maybe once a year, but it's worth it.

 

[mwooten102]

This door seemed so white before I painted ... I think I'm gonna buy that ultra white flat epoxy floor paint.

 

[mwooten102]

But first....

 

[whodatnation]

Nice! Whiter than white lol

 

[mwooten102]

I started hanging things today. I also acid washed the floor to help with the floor paint bond.

ballasts on a melamine backing

I'll be painting the floor soon.

Coming along nicely man.

Have you considered mounting the ballasts outside the room? Maybe not an issue in your space, but I am always looking for ways to keep temps down....1/2* here 1/2* there....

? are these the ones I should buy ?

 

[doublejj]

These are what I use bro, a combo MH/HPS bulb. Because I sometimes need to veg in that room. But they all work well. Those should work fine
Good luck things are looking A++
