As you build the room and add equipment, you can use those cfl's for cloning, side lighting etc. so none of that investment will be wasted. We will need to take pictures or draw diagrams of the room layout including doors and walls, Access to the main electric panel. floor drains, plumbing access (before any water softners) will be important for design. Ceiling and wall material only matter to the installer, I am assuming that will be you. We also want to establish three point for exiting warm moist air, that will be hidden or at least not 'stick out'. We may not use them all, planning can help us avoid having to re-do the way that damn VV does all the f$%^&* time.
If you are not familiar with electric work, like wiring a plug, the tutorial in
Marijuana Buds For Less shows you how.
If you don't know how to install a breaker in your main electric panel you will need an electrician OR a book that tells you how. I used
Wiring Simplified . I bought mine at Home Depot, I am sure others have it as well. The full price is $10.95. I installed all of my wiring, including the 200amp electric main panels you can see in the last sets of pictures in my journal. It's worth the money.
Plumbing can be as simple as a hose. A drain is nice, and a water proof, spill proof floor is a big plus. With the available fittings all you really need to be able to do is cut plastic pipe and snap it together. If you make a mistake, or decide to change something, you can unsnap it. If you can build Filthy Fletchs 30 MInute Aero build, you can do all of the plumbing that is neccessary.
Air handling work fine with flexible duct, we just need to lay it out, install the necessary fans as needed, and as the budget allows.
It might sound like a lot of work, and it is, proper planning can save us much time and effort. Here is a first goal recommendation. 90 days from the time you have your first simple set up with the six seedling, we will want to have, three female plants ready to harvest, 6 clones within 30 days of harvest and 12 clones ready to go into flowering. We know we can do this for less than $300. If we have invested more than that it is in things that are directed towards putting the entire space into use. To put it a little more in perspective, we will be expecting harvest of 8oz, 16 oz and 32 oz in about six months. VV
