Ron Ramrods grow room build

Howdy all. Ever since my tent grow I've been stoked to go bigger and get better.

I converted a 11.5' x 12' x 8' room into my new grow room.

Staying soil for now. 5gall pots

400w+600w hps (adding more 600's ASAP)

6inch exhaust to attic. (460cfm blower)

8inch intake from side wall (unsure of blower size)

Misc oscillating fans.


Just got the spackling done. Ran out of paint, so I'm grabbing a gallon tomorrow. Then the assembly of grow components will follow.

Has anyone used the inline icebox chillers? I have a 55 gallon drum for cooling, and was gonna try and rig something . are they worth it?

Got the walls painted , and some electronics up. Still gotta create an intake

Grow " rooms " make me wet at the tip

that second ballast is kinda low. plants or reflectivity may be there.

At the present i live in a 2 br shoebox , the 2nd room is practicly full already with storage of bed and excess tallboys all i can manage to fit is a 1x1x2 tent and thats when i play tetris.... But do you think my mrs will throw out the doubles of everything we have........ Nooooooooo

Oh no ypou have a semi-hoarder. Don't worry I do too. I love her but damn, throw that shit away

OK all. I'm trying to figure out where to cut the intake.
Should I cut through the attic, and put it there?

Keep in mind. Exhaust shoots through the ceiling and out through vents at each end of building

Or should I put it through the wall outside?

Have asbestos tile lining garage exterior.

What would ypou guys do?
