Howdy all,
Getting started on my first (and likely last unless I move) grow room. I've been working like a dog full days the last two weekends in order to get to this point, that being a clean shop and totally dedicated to indoor growing.
The room is big enough at 7 ft. 6 in. wide, and a tad over 15 ft. in length.
I got to thinking today as I was working out there that if I changed the door to a swing-out design rather than swing-in I could gain some extra working space.
I would like to make 2 separated 5 ft. X 4 ft. growing areas, one for flowering and another for vegging. In most cases I'll never have more than 8 plants in either phase of growth, as I am growing strictly for my own legal medical use and a bit of research into new blends which may offer better treatment for my illness.
For lighting I'm thinking one 600 Watt cool-tube for each area (MH and HPS), and cooling ventalation will not be an issue, as I can access two exterior walls and will be installing large intake/exhaust vents. I am more concerned keeping the room sufficiently warm in the cold winter months here, although all walls are well insulated, but still we can get near 0 degree F temps in the mid-winter months.
So, how would you lay this room out if it was yours to build? Cost, to be honest, really isn't too big a deal as I've set aside about $1500 to use as construction funds (including lights). I've also already purchased a good bit of the materials, and am re-using some from a previous building project.
