Thank you to this community for what it has taught me.

I have been designing my first grow room for the past couple months and I think I'm going with the following set-up.

If someone sees a big mistake here, your thoughts will help me greatly. I'd like to design a nice system that produces that can be expanded into the existing space and then potentially to a larger space.

- 12 x 12 x 8 foot outside building, demised to a 6 x 4 veg room and an 8 x 8 flower room, 100 amp electric sub panel, natural gas, and water (drain TBD).

- ebb and grow 12 site hydro system, to be expanded as room permits

- (2) 1000 w hps lights in flower, a big T5 in veg room

- 4000 w lighting controller with timer, hardwired, for flower lights (8 light version is $100 more)

- ventilated over-sized hoods - sun system Magnum XXXL's, probably 8 inch venting

- Sentinel atmosphic controller to control Co2, temp, humidity, air intake/exhaust

- water cooled CO2 generator, valve, natural gas, drain to waste

- in-take fan

- in line vortex exhaust fan

- basic 240v 1000 watt ballasts

Those are the basics.

since your running a sealed CO2 i hope you also have a AC in there cuz your not going to want a fan pushing out all your nice air.

The Sentinel environmental controller will turn on/off the Co2, in take fan, exhaust, humidifier/dehumidifier, heat/cool, so that will be the brain. And yes I'll have a standard carbon filter at the end of my exhaust run for odor control. I hadn't thought about air conditioning. Not sure if I'll need it or not.. I'm located at 6000 feet of elevation in the Sierra's in California, so our temps are fairly moderate. If I end up needing AC, I'll find a way to add that, but I'm going to get set up first and watch the temps and humidity to see what I ultimtaly need. Thanks for calling my attention to this possibility. Also, I posted wrong, my flower room will actually be 12 feet by 8 feet.
