My little flowering room.

I have been doing some upgrading in here recently and sadly the girls inside have suffered due to this.

All but 1 of the plants in here are sativas from 2x mother clones I took last summer and the mothers themselves are also in here now (it is summer here again now) before my outdoor plants started flowering.

400watt HPS under Reflect a wing hood.
2x 105watt 6400k CFL's (60lumes a watt) on the sides under some diy hoods.
1x desk fan for moving air around.
Insulated ducting from intake to floor.
1x 165watt 20cm (8") (800m3/h, 470CFM) Inline fan hanging off some rubber for ventilation.
200watt 220v variable motor controller for fan (running it at around 65% full speed).
Insulated ducting going to a "silencing box" I made with wood and memory foam attached to vent hole in wall for extraction.
Walls covered in Mylar, floor in some silver packaging material I had lying around.
Floor itself has a 15cm thick, aluminium sheet coated piece of polystirene on it wall to wall to stop heat from building up in the concrete and heat from escaping through the floor in winter.

very nice work. never saw such huge cfl's but r u sure u have enough light?
In my country everything runs off 220v so we can get some pretty big cfl's :) These are only 105 watt, I have seen up to 350watt cfl's in the shops but do not like the shape (all the tubes are shaped so that the bulb vaguely resembles an old incandescent bulb, bigger than a basket ball).

I don't go more than 10 plants at a time.
Only clones or mature, bonsaid mothers when they get too big for https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/754730-my-cab-server.html
This lets me put the plants in when quite small meaning I can leave my lights nice and low :)

I have a nice light spectrum in there due to the 105watt (6400k) cfl's along with the 400watt (2100k) HPS, total LUX is 60600 :)

I move the plants around every 4 to 8 days (1/4 turn daily, all moved to different areas every 4 to 8 days).

I also do not want to add any more HIPS to the room as our summer temps range from around 17'c (early morning) up to around 40'c in the day with an average daily temp of 32'c to 36'c
