Hey guys/gals,

Silly question I'm sure, but I'm trying to get some help on this. I'm in the process of setting up my first indoor garden. My home is fully finished and I'm going to be using one of my guest rooms.

The room is 13X15X8 - I've lined the walls with panda film, but what should I do to protect my carpet? Any ideas on how I should go about laying a bass down would be awesome.

Thanks in advance

spread out some old blankets and try not to spill anything.

good luck with your marijuana growing.

I just use that plastic stuff that painters put down... you can get like a 3 pack of 12x12 sheets for around $4 at walmart...

Keeps all the runoff from hitting the carpet and just evaporates and leaves waterspots on the plastic...

Why not remove the carpet & padding and have it put back down later? That's a LOT cheaper than new carpet if you have an accident.

I would put plastic down and then get some oven bake pans to put under the pots to catch excess water..

Put the plastic down and then tape cardboard all over so it protects the plastic from it getting torn and it is easy to walk on and work in your room.
