What A Good Perpetual Room Should Look Like: A Diagram

I have over time altered my room to look pretty much like this one, however- had I known what I wanted off of the get go this is what i would build to a T.

I was inspired to do this by a friend, who needed help designing his own and happens to have the resources.

This diagram includes:

6" Inline fan and Carbon Scrubber which is linked by ducting.

Linked through an Aircooled reflector (imagine whichever HPS you'd like)

Up to the veg room so all heat is removed from both rooms pulling heat off of the 4 foot 6 bulb T5 veg light:

A T8 in the mothering room built above the veg room.

A hygrometer to monitor temperature and humidity, and a dehumidifier or humidifier or both to control climate.

And of course plenty of circulatory fans in each room.

I don't see any fresh air coming in. It looks like you're blowing air INTO the filter? No that's wrong. No air conditioning? No Co2? No water cooled bits? Dirt or Hydro? You show a cheap way to monitor your environment, but no way to adjust it. Good luck!

Unsubbed.

hey remember you helped me? Well idk if it slipped yer mind but inline fans are way more effective at PULLING air than pushing and wheres the fresh air? And the carbon scrubber should have air sucked through it works better

how does the sweet smell of flower get to the scruber? when it is only a vent for the light?
It was a good try OB

There's absolutely no point in integrating the carbon filter with the cooling of the light source. The light should have its own fan pushing air over the bulb and out of the grow space. The filter can scrub the air in the flowering room where most of the smell is. Of course you need to add another centrifugal fan. Dehumidifiers are great to have, but you need fresh air and exhaust, or an AC and CO2 supplementation.

I do have a fresh air intake- into the both rooms. I forgot to add that to the diagram. Sorry- that picture took me a bit of work. It was a fun hidea.

But I am glad you guys are on my check- cause I didnt know all this about the inline fan. My fan currently is set to suck air off an open reflector (i am switching to 2 400w with aircooled reflectors) and blow it out of a carbon scrubber located out of the room. Blowing smelly air out of the scrubber has been quite effective. I dont have a lot of ducting, my temps stay low, and my smell never gets out of range.

And olebudheavy: everything i have read has said to suck air off of the bulb- and it makes sense. If you have an air cooled reflector and there are any leaks if you are blowing, you will push hot air back into the room. When sucking, any leaks will just pull heat from around the glass- a good thing.

Plantz: I am pulling, the arrow indicates that the fan sucks air past the bulb out of the fan and through the scrubber before hitting the other side of a diving wall. But I see what I did to confuse you, i wasnt paying attention when i put the picture of the inline fan in and it should be rotated 180 degrees. My bad.

I should use better intake fans though... I just use bathroom extractor fans for each- but they seem to be healthy.
