Cheap And Easy Pvc Grow Room

**stony_420** · 07-07-2007, 12:59 AM

I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN, SO IM LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN BUY FOR A GROW ROOM. SO ME AND MY BUDDY WENT SHOPPING. WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO BUILD A CHEAP, EASY TO SETUP GROW ROOM. YOU CAN FIND ALL THIS STUFF AT HOME DEPOT AND WALMART. FIRST WE MADE A FRAME FOR THE GROW ROOM. WE MADE IT AT OF PVC. IT IS CHEAP AND IT CAN EASILY BE TAKEN DOWN AND MOVED. OUR ROOM IS 3X4X5. SO WHAT WE DID WAS A BUY 4 10 FOOT PIECES OF PVC. 2 PIECES WERE SKINNY FOR THE WALL FRAMES AND THE OTHER 2 THICK FOR THE FLOOR AND ROOF FOR GOOD SUPPORT. WE THEN CUT THE PVC TO THE LENGTH THAT WE DESIRED. NEXT WE PUT IT TOGETHER USING PVC ELBOWS. ALL AROUND FOR THE PVC, WE SPENT NO MORE THAN 20 BUCKS FOR IT. NEXT WE BOUGHT 1 PIECE OF PLY WOOD THAT MEASURED 10X5.IT COST 10 BUCKS. WE CUT THAT INTO 2 PIECES THAT MEASURED 3X4 FOR THE FLOOR AND THE ROOF. FOR THE FLOOR PIECE, WE CUT ABOUT A HALF A INCH OF THE SIDES SO IT WILL FIT INSIDE THE THE PVC FLOOR FRAME. FOR THE ROOF WE CUT A HOLE FOR THE OUTTAKE FAN WHICH IS A ROUND BLADE FAN. IT COST 6 BUCKS. WE PUT THE FLOOR IN AND PUT THE ROOF ON. WE SCREWED THE ROOF IN WITH A COULPLE OF SCREWS. NOW THE WALLS. THIS MAY SOUND STUPID BUT IT WORKS GREAT. WE BOUGHT 2 ROLLS OF PAPER THAT MEASURED 3X12. WE FOUND THESE AT WALMART IN THE WRAPPING PAPER SECTION. THEY COST A BUCK A PIECE. WHAT WE DID WAS TAPE THE 3 FOOT PART OF THE PAPER TO THE PVC AND WRAP IT AROUND THE FRAME TAPING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PAPER TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PVC FRAME LEAVING ONE WALL COMPLETLY OPEN. DO THE SAME WITH THE OTHER ROLL. FOR THE DOOR , ALL WE DID WAS DRAP A BLANKET OVER IT. AND YOUR DONE WITH THE WALLS. NOW THE LIGHTS. YOUR CHOICE PRETTY MUCH BUT FOR THOSE WHO CANT GET AHOLD OF THOSE FANCY LIGHTS, HERE IS A WAY TO HAVE EFFICIENT LIGHTING FOR YOUR GROW ROOM. I HAVE 3 4 FOOT FLOURECENT LIGHT FIXTURES. EACH OF THE FIXTURES HOLD 2 4 FOOT FLOURECENT BULBS. I USE GE DAYLIGHT T12 40W LIGHT BULBS. I JUST STARTED USING THESE AND I SAW GREAT PROGRESS THE VERY NEXT DAY. I BOUGHT ALL THESE THINGS AT WALMART. I ALMOST FORGOT. FOR MY INTAKE FAN I JUST BOUGHT A TALL FAN FROM WALMART FOR ABOUT 9 BUCKS. I PUT IT OUTSIDE THE DOOR BUT HAD IT BLOWING FRESH AIR IN THE ROOM. THATS IT. SO FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN SMALL TOWNS, HERES A CHEAP, EASY, EFFICIENT WAY TO GROW POT. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE ROOM. THIER NOT THAT GOOD BUT TOMORROW I WILL HAVE SOME DETAILED PICTURES OF THE ROOM. HAPPY GROWING.

Awesome build, I have been thinking along the same lines, I was looking around home depot and Found the Insulation for heater, Water heaters ect I am gonna use those as walls and a reflective material for the room and easier to keep warm. Just a idea there about 8 bucks a 10' Roll is what i found~
