Room within a room design, does anyone see any fundamental flaws with this design?

Greetings,

In four months I am going to be moving to a medical state, of course I plan on continuing to grow.

This is all still in the very early conceptual stage so please, tear me a new one if you see something that won't work. Please.

The plan is to veg in another area of the haus and flower in a larger area in the basement. For flowering I plan on constructing a room within a room in order to take full advantage of co2 enrichment. The plan is to use a 5,000 btu window air conditioner with oscillating fans for air exchange and movement along with compressed gas for co2. I have a really sweet green house controller from green air products to regulate co2 and climate. For lighting i plan on using 2 1000 watt hps systems, The walls will be constructed from plywood and sealed with great stuff foam. I plan on making the space approximately 5'x9'x6' in inner dimensions in order to give me room to walk around in it.

I forgot to mention I intend to use tempered glass in the ceiling and actually keep the reflectors on the other side of the glass outside of the grow room itself and just raise or lower the plants based on their height and distance from the bulbs.

To help deal with humidity and heat down there I plan on feeding air from the upper level of the house down to the basement via hard pipe and exhausting it out through the roof.

The veg area/nursery will consist of, well I'm not too worried about that. Any old closet with a t5 fixtures and my trusty can fan will work just fine like it has here all these years.

Please excuse the amateur nature of my conceptual sketch.

Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

it would be a real bitch to move the plants that much.I adjust my plants to keep an even profile but keeping the light fixed sounds like a real pain

I thought you were going w/ AC for heat? venting for extreme humidity is a good idea but if it runs often,you will be sucking all your CO2 out as well

last thought, if that is your real name, consider using a different one for forums like this.discretion is important even in a medical state

I have a feeling that it will be a pain but this will just be until I get a little more financially stable and re-work the ducting amd reflectors. All this is designed with equiptment I already have on hand and I just have those cheese-ball bat wing reflectors.

The only exchange for the flowering room will be the air conditioner. Will that suck the co2 out? I was under the impression it would'nt be a problem? Should I still use a dehumidifier?

The venting in the basement is to just insure that the hot damp air from the A/C it does'nt mold out the basement.

My real name is not Ted Korzenowski, It's David Gibson.

for two 1000watts bulbs that is really a limited space. I would use two 600 watt stationary bulbs with air cool reflective hoods, or one 1000watt same set up but on a 1 axis horizontal light mover.

You must understand the relationship between the heat you are giving off with the limitation in space you are creating by putting up walls. When everything works things may be fine but how high is the potential for drastic fluctuation in temperatures in the grow space? to the extent that it causes permanent damage to your crop of course. say for example your fan fails but the light stays on, with 2 1000 watt builds running in that confined of a space the heat is going to go up pretty quick. If it's a risk worth taking then go for it, but my advise would be to max out the size of your grow space to accommodate the presence of such a large amount of light, which ultimately will give you more buds than any co2 system would. once you have all the kinks worked out with your temp differential you can start experimenting with co2.

AC should be fine w/ co2, i misunderstood & thought you were venting the grow along w/ AC & co2
