My attic grow room construction - Page 2

Here are pics of the vent pipe and drain I stalled. The vent pipe was already there for the bath room under the room. I just re-routed it and installed a T joint for a future drain for the sink. That was a bitch also.

Pics 9 and 10 show all the main framing installed. I have to frame in some blocking here and there, but this is pretty much what the room will look like. There is also a pic of where the door will be located going out to my exsting attic stairs which leads down to my garage. And the other pic shows where I'm installing another attic door that will lead right down to my office. It will used mostly in the summer months so I will not have to use the acces door because I'm worried about letting in hot attic air when it opens. Also, I can just leave the attic ladder down that will go to my office and let more fresh cool air up in there.

All I have to do now is finish the framing, rough in my electrical, and rough in my exhaust system for the lights and carbon filter. Then I'm going to insulate the room with R-30. Then I'm just going to place 1/2 foam boards as the walls. Then I have to build a door. Then install the fans and lights and I can start growing. I'll do the sink and secondary attic stairs later on. I just need to get some plants up there ASAP.

the attic grow room debate

I'll give a quick summary. My wife and I just tired to looking for it. My wife and I both professionals, so it's always been hard hooking up with pot. I wouldn't say were are heavy smokers, just in the evenings during weekdays and all day on the weekends

And to be honest, the weed we get is always brick, swag weed. It does it's job but........its fucking swag!

The planning started some time ago. And the construction began back in november. I would not recomend that everyone try this. My attic is trussed and was never meant to have a habital room up there. I've been involved in construction all my life and been designing buildings for 12 years now. I'll try and explain the building process per picture in the next posts. Below is a JPEG of the design.

got dam you really got this thing down huh......lol nice, subscribed

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. This has been on the drawing boards for over 10 years, when my wife and I bought the house. Desperation finaly make me get off my ass and start it. I've grown a few crops over the years. Grew about 3 crops in the closet in my office with just fluorescents, start to finish. The buds were small, and you had to train the plants to grow sidesways pretty much, but it was the best pot. Lets hope I can get something up there by feb.

Just an update on the progress so far. Finished up some more framing last week. I can't believe the amount of wood I have up there. It just mainly finished up some blocking. And nailers that I'm going to attached the insulation panels too. Kinda like drywalling, just no heavy drywall. Also got my intake air installed for my cooltube. It will be pulling air from the closet in my office. And got the biggest thorn in my side down, the electrical. I hate messing with electrical, scares the shit out of me. Hooked up 3 outlets to their own individual breaker. I didn't want to push any of the loads coming in there. One outlet will power the fluorescents for veg/cloning and 2 fans. One will power the portable AC unit I might need in the summer time. And the last outlet will power the 600w HPS cool tube. I just have to rough in my HVAC and some other venting and I'm ready for insulation.
