Default old basement
hey guys ive recently moved to a new house. well knew to me the house itself is very old. i plan on starting a nice dwc grow in my basment. it has come to my attention that the basement is just as old as the house. (duh) and is covered in cobwebs, dust, dirt and god knows what else. the floor is dirt and the foundation is stone. i plan to section off the area im going to use with mylar and duct tape. i will be covering the walls and ceiling with this trying to make it as air tight as possible. im afraid that the old musty enviroment might affect my plants. any thoughts?

do you think the yeast and sugar in a bucket system would work better that just releasing c02 cartridges? its also alot cheaper.

I didnt mean a home made brew, I dont believe that theres enough there to kill an ant, sorry. If you keep your eyes out, you can come up with a deal on a tank. I got one, full for $13.00.

Honestly, I dont have all the fancy guages and expensive add-ons, just the tank and a valve, I open it, wait about 90 seconds and turn it off. It works, and best of all is....only thirteen bucks!

Refills are gonna kill me though, compared to the purcahse price, refills are about $25.00. LoL

Check with your local restaurant supply, or better yet, ask your local neighborhood tavern if they have an extra one.
Peace

Yo Fenix...

I've grown in a crawlspace/on a dirt floor for years w/ no problems.

The area is musty due to a lack of airflow. You will have to change this *anyway* to grow weed..so the smell will go away after you turn your fan/ventilation on and bring in some fresh air. You'll also have to filter the pot smells if you are successful in your endeavor in the basement or the entire house will smell.

Ditch the duct tape idea. It will disintegrate quickly the first time it is exposed to humidity. Instad..buy sme 2 x 3 studs or find real studs and build a room....then drywall it or stretch "panda" plastic on it. Cover all surfaces.... floor/walls/ceiling.

Ditch the Co2 idea too. Your time will be better spent reading and dialing in the other parameters (temp, humidity, light, ventilation, care) that will make MORE of a difference than any potion or application of "Co2" you can give em at present. The only way I'd say "go for it" is if you are prepared to buy a regulator and tank..or a generator and a controller to make it all work properly/intro the correct amount of CO2. (down the line, bro..down the line!)

focus on lighting, ventilation, and making the space light tight....those are key.

good luck

bt dt
