ok have a fancy store bought light box with the glass and really neat reflector built in,
the box has a little fan on it.
and one heavy sucker for a ballast box.
the 2 different kinds of 1000watt light bulbs.
the flower room has an existing vent to outside that can be tied into.
and one lovely 6 foot by 8foot empty room. ready to go.

this is what I have at present.
ok. I want a light mover.... {May not get one but depends on MrMcgreggor.}
I think I require a exhaust fan..
a carbon filter.
and silver duct hose.
but how do you put it all together.... this is a do it once do it right project
I am looking for pics. and instructions to make this possible.
all serious recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
thank you ever so much

how big is the flowering room?

i wouldnt dedicate too much room for veggin. depending on what you are trying to achieve.

you will need an exhaust. the carbon filter will be attached to your exhaust. do you have an area outside of your grow area that will not be subjected to high heat and high humidity? if so, i'd put the carbon scrubber outside of the grow room.

to better control temps, depending on the type of reflector you have, you may can aircool it. I know how you like to save money on heating and such, so the vent that you are using to cool your light you can route thru the house to further save on heat. Cant beat free heat!!!

depending on how big your flowering room is, i have an idea....besides you said you dont have the pump anyway. i have an idea you can built on....using 3-5 gallon buckets!

keep the ballast outside the grow area to further reduce temps and such!

hang on while i link you to a few diy carbon filters....

yes and yes. I showed you pics the other day. the rock wall that was busted threw.
inside there is the 8x6 room for the BIG light.
{{I am blind mrmcgreggor just turned it on for the first time upstairs OMgoodness is that BRIGHT!!!!}}} I have the cold basement with hydronic heat. and yes yes yes I have access to all the empty 5's I want...

well if i were you, i'd say fuck the aero tub...

i'd go all out if i were you....

ummmmmmmm I am still blind... well in time in time But I have to make due with what I have so I can conserve assets and get the major working components in place... ya know they are not cheep. so I will get the best I can for the basic set up. and then after that hey I have B-days and Christmas an an an So MrMcGreggor will never be at a loss as to what would make his wife happy. {thats when you get the fancy cloners and stuff. }BUT the room will be ready for that day in the mean time I get to play with what I can make from junk laying around

no...this is the shit that can be built!

ok am listening.... just show me I am putty in your hands....

bad ass system, all can be built from scratch minus the timers and such. you already said you dont have the pump for the aero or something...so i say improvise.

i mean the reason i say you should utilize your space. going with just an aero tub.... and a 1000 watt light... i believe you would get more with just one plant, topping her and using the screen of green method, she would yield more in my opinion than a few plants in the aero tub.


i remembered you said you wanted to keep it diy, and i respect that, because i like diy, im semi diy...for all the shit im too lazy to fuck with (i.e. lights, filters, etc etc). but i think you can keep it simple and make a banging ass system. It sounds like you have the tools and the know how, with plenty of scrap and junk to build shit out of.

OOOOOOOOO do I like you I have everything BUT the pumps and the rubber gromits {how ever you spell that}
yep even that blue drum .....
you are wonderful I sware you looked in my shop saw what I had and are showing me ways to make it work.
btw this is why I have been holding off from pumps I just dident know what would be best. so many to choose from.
{{have to ask if you vent the heat threw the house ummm how to say this... wouldent the entire house smell like the grow room?? this may not be a good idea.
