Setting up a new room 7`x14`

Hey everyone. Its finally time to get to work and get this new room setup and running.

Room is 7x14 , I will be building a 3`x 12` ebb and flow table to run 40+ clones, using a 80g reservoir.

I will be using 1440 watts of Cutter Jseries LED strips 30 x 3000k 90cri and 24 x 3000k 80 cri mix. ( 3 fixtures , 3x4 each, each being pushed by HLG-480w drivers)
I will be growing in net pots and clay pebbles on the table eventually. First run will be a mother search tho, so those plants will all be grown in coco.They are currently in solo cups under CFLs and will veg under 600w MH eventually. Only 1 week old right now.

I currently have at my disposal

6" 440 cfm fan and carbon filter.
1 dehumidifier
2 small humidifiers
3 x 16" oscillating fans
2 x 6" hurricane fans

Will be covering walls with Panda film. Summer months i plan to exhaust out through the exterior wall, winter i may release heat back into the room if needed.
Am considering sealing the room and running CO2( good idea?) ( much trouble to getting it setup properly?)
Do i need a second exhaust fan? or maybe just a bigger cfm version would be better?

I would like some help with buying/setting up controllers, getting CO2 setup , basically anything you guys with experience can offer to make life easier for my space.

If theres anything ive missed, or something that you feel is a must in everyones garden, by all means, im open to any and all suggestions.
This is my room and it's 8 x 12 and I wrapped walls with Panda film

Hey guys

@Renfro I just wanted to clarify something about making a reservoir.

I have a 50g tote I'm gonna use for now. I'm tired of waiting for parts for the drip so I'm just gonna run a hose from the pump and water that way.

I still don't have to concern myself with res temps correct? Res is going under the tables.

Hey bros, hope all is well


Its starting to get cold here. Frost warnings are the norm now until its full on winter. Im wondering if i should be making any changes to my room, specifically my exhaust and intake situation.

As most of you know, i have active intake from outside and exhaust both kicking on when temps hit 85ish. Is this gonna be an issue during the cold months? I think my main concern is heat loss/cold air coming in at lights off, both fans are out through my exterior wall and arent insulated or sealed, i would assume cold air will creep in when they arent running.

What say you all?

Do you have electronic damper on the runs?

Cold duct will condense on the outside of the duct so drips will happen.

You want a normally closed one so that when the thermostat powers the fan up the damper can be hooked up so it will open. You need a 24VAC transformer that you will feed the 120v power that your fan gets from the controller. The transformer output hooks to the damper. The damper has a spring return that you can adjust to get the proper close pressure for your situation.
