The fixture is very reflective metallic. It was by far the fixture that reflected the most light at the Home Depot's I went to. Do you think it may reflect too much light? Is the only way to be sure is to get a light meter?
Thanks,

Last season I had a 4' x 4' x 8' grow box with a 400 watt HPS that kept my plants from dying. Since then my wife caught me and didn't want me growing (her idea of me growing was one potted plant, not the small factory I had) but I have converted the shed into my "man cave" and I have some other plants I have in there (absorb all my pot smoke). So not only do I want the thing warm for me but I also want to keep whatever plants I do have in there alive.

Has anyone tried spray foam insulation? Right now my shed is just 2x4s, plywood and cheap siding. I want to pull everything out and apply the foam just like they do on new construction. I might be able to get the stuff pretty cheap if I buy it in bulk but I wanted to know if anyone had ever tried it before I did it. ]]> matthew http://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/274215-thinking-about-foaming-my-naked.html 400 watt MH for under $60 http://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/274150-400-watt-mh-under-60-a.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:13:15 GMT Heres a link to a 400w MH for $59.9

I have started converting a spare dresser into a little marijuana factory, because, the trashcan I was growing in before is getting cramped and looks pathetic. (It was a rubbermaid can, lined with tin foil with a 50w hps & 23w CFL screwed to the lid). Besides the trashcan also got kinda toasty.

The plan for the dresser: A completely contained, fully automated grow room (just big enough for 3/4 3.5' plants). It will have lighting and watering/feeding automated, and will have a duct exhaust out the back (which I can discretely pipe out the window).

As it stands now, I have emptied out the drawers and made a false drawer appearance by screwing the front panels from all the drawers onto a board and hanging infront of the dresser where drawers would be. Inside I wired two outlets (with a main powerswitch discretely out the back so I can switch it off without opening it), the second outlet is on another switch so I can turn off lights and fans when I'm in there tending. In the back I've also installed a duct for the exhaust. I started the irrigation by putting a pump on a valved-line in a rubbermaid container for fertilizer. I also started the lighting rack by wiring a 100w MH and a 70w HPS to the top.

Next: I will install the ceiling exhaust fan into the back and connect it to the exhaust port. I will also wire 2 50w hps, and 4 23w cfls. I will adjust the lighting shelf to proper height, line the cabinet with tin foil, adjust the "drawer" height, and generally get my babys new cradle ready. Stay tuned

my questions about the filter are: 1.What side do i attach it to (suck thru the filter or push out)? 2.Can i attach it to the "intake" of my light (rely on the 6" in-line to pull thru the filter into the hood, out the ducting, thru the fan, out of the room and still cool my light like this)? 3.Should i leave the lamp and attach another 6" outtake with the filter?

Hey all,

I want to vent hood-hot air into my furnace so that it will go into the vents and spread throughout and heat the whole house this winter.

Should I hook it up straight to the intake port of the furnace or into the metal box the intake vent and outputs for the house ducting is?

or just into the floor vent and let it distribute that way? (I am concerned it will have blow back issues however when/if my furnace kicks on? Is that a valid concern?)

So ... what would you all recommend I do to make this a reality?

It is an electric furnace.

Yes, I know the air will be stinky if I dont scrub it. ]]> mercilus http://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/274064-ventilation-into-furnace.html What to cover with? http://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/274053-what-cover.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:05:12 GMT Ok guys, due to limited space i would like to start a veg room in same room as my flowering room, i have constucted a grow tent frame out of pvc, my...

I... Ok guys, i have decided to start a small op for my own personal needs, and to make a lil on the side so i can keep my house(god damn economy...)

I have grown in the past, but had to give em to a buddy of mine to finish, cause i had to get em outa the house...Stupid reasons...

I was only using CFLs, but now i have the money to do this right

I just need some help, and some questions answered, and any help and opinions would be awesome!

First off, I will be growin in my closet. The bottom will be for flowering, and the top of course for clones and veg.

Here are the dimensions of the closet

Bottom L: 4.5ft
W:1'9"
H:4 ft

Top L: 4.5ft
W:1'5"
H: 1'7"

What im wanting to do is be able to have 5 plants flowering, and 5 veggin at the same time, and ill also be using a hydro system, which i will be building myself.

Question 1:
Do i have enough room in the closet for 5 flowering girls? And if so what do you guys thing the yeild would be?

I am also going to be using CFLs for the clones and veggin, and a 400w HPS for Flowering.

In my previous grow, i was using bag seed, and i didnt like having to wait for em to sex, and having the shitty possibility that some could be male.

Question 2:
Im a little, well actually really sketchy about seedbanks. Do they really do what they say? Im just afraid of a scam or getting caught and shit. And if they do it, what would be the best strain for my situation. Something that i can flower 5-6 of at once and fit in the closet. And something that is killer

Im New to growing with hydro, but i have read up on it alot, and i think its alot more effective.

Question 3:
What are some good Nutes for Hydro that have worked wonders for you guys? Veg and Bloom.

I have some ideas for a few hydro systems, and designs for the closet, and can post them if you guys find it interesting to help a new grower.

Thats all i can think of right now, and that gives you guys a good idea of what im workin with, i can post pics of the closet as well.

Im sure ill be able to think of more questions, but im Blitzed right now. ]]> ElmRoach420 http://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/273923-help-starting-small-op.html What to use as walls for grow room?? http://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/273817-what-use-walls-grow-room.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:30:13 GMT Hi, my room within a room is now built, W4' x L8' x H7.5'
