first off, the room is just about 8X12 with a 8 feet high ceiling. what kind of cfm carbon filter do i need and what kind of cfm squirrel fan do i need to completely ventilate/cool the room with taking the 4 sealed reflectors and carbon filter and hepa air filter into consideration? im guessing that they will restrict airflow by more than 20% but does anyone know forsure?
so heres a crude drawing of how my room will be set up. i have a couple of questions regarding ventilation and electricity. i do not have a crawl space to bring in fresh air.
whats the next best thing in regards to bringing in fresh air? window? another room?
i have an attic that i will be using for the exhaust. once i do find a good air intake, i was thinking about attaching a 6'' Y fitting to the exhaust and air intake. 1 6'' tubing would start from 1 air intake hole, provided by the Y, going into every 600w reflector and leading out into 1 of the holes for the exhaust, provided by the other Y (shown in pic 2).
id leave 1 air intake hole open just to bring fresh air into the room. id use my 2nd exhaust hole for my carbon filter (shown in pic 2).
the idea is to use a separate tunnel to cool the lights. is this really needed? could i cool and ventilate the room with everything connected together (shown in pic 3) with no problem?
i have a question about electricity too. i havent checked the breakers but ill have a electrician working on them when i do tweak them. lets all assume (cuz i dont know) this is a regular room in a house with regular electrical wiring. i think i heard that a room allows up to 15 amps of energy? or is it 15 amps of energy into 1 wall outlet? could someone clarify this for me and help me plan out how many amps i need to run this grow room with no problems? refer to picture 4 please
ill have (ball parking electricity use)
4x 600w lights running
8x 394gph water pump
4x water circulator pump thingy
2x wall fans
2x squirrel fans
ceiling fan
environment controller (co2,temp,humid)
ac/heater unit
cfl or t5 lighting to support minimum of atleast 30 plants in veg
i may have missed some small things but thats the chunk of the electricity usage. if you look at picture 4, i have labeled each outlet with a corresponding letter. when rerouting energy, would i be rerouting more amps into an individual outlet? or am i rerouting energy into the whole room divided by outlet A B and C? how many amps would i need in total for a setup like this?
i know its a ridiculous amount of questions, but this is my first grow "room" and i want to do it right.
