Looking for a little advice for a dwc room. Walls will be insulated and 1/2 drywall painted flat white floor will be 3/4 plywood also painted flat white. I plan on elevating the floor with 2×6's the plumbing will be ran through the bottom of coolers (using bathtub drains)and out the room underneath the floors to a control cooler on the outside of the room. I was thinking that either 2×600 or 2×1000 hps lights would do the trick.. Cooling the room would come from an air conditioned exterior room with a fan or fans pumping air in near the bottom of floor. An exhaust fan would be sucking the air out the top into an attic. I've been toying with the idea of a tapered ceiling or tray type ceiling to force hot air further away from lights and easier for fan to clear.. Any one have any thoughts on this.
Growing of the plants will be done mostly by a friend that has been growing for 10+ years now so that I'm not concerned about.. I just don't agree with all his growing habits or cleanliness of his rooms and he recently changed to dwc.. For the plants I was thinking of 3 coolers inside the room with one plant in each cooler want to keep total plants below 24 for perpetual grow.. If all works a second room will be built. My concern is that this is overkill for 3 plants but seems like they would be happy to get that big. Again health of plants is going to be taken care of by outside source so not worried about that more the environment is my concern. Typing this on my phone so I haven't given all the details just the basic. This is perpetual so only 3 plants a month is max with a five month period. Think in terms of two identical rooms like this and a separate 8×8 veg room. This setup will definitely give me room to grow but I was thinking big bushy happy plants. Thanks for any and all comments
