My 1st Grow Room

so this is my 1st grow room i have tin foil on the walls and as for lighting i have an 18 inch 15 watt 2700k flourescent tube and a hydrofarm fixture with a 125w 6400k bulb which i will be using for vegetating but when its time to flower i will switch lights and put a 15 watt 6400k tube and a 125 watt 2700k bulb, for ventelation i have a 10' fan on a stand circulating the air and a 4' fan going out the back as an exhaust, i have a digital thermometer that reads temp and humidity a stand to put the pot on and a plastic bin to catch any water just incase it drips out i also have a digital timer it will be set 18-6 for vegetating and 12-12 for flowering im waiting on my seeds but im very excited to use my new space. everyone let me know what you think!!!

i also have eco grow and am getting fox farm ocean forest soil so thats the stuff im going to be using

ditch the tinfoil. it actually absorbs light.

you think i should use mylar instead?

and what do you think about the rest of my setup will i need anything else?

use the black/white visqueen plastic. best option. everything else seems good. you made a way for fresh air to get in, right?

yeah well i have the little fan in the back for exhaust then the bigger fan just circulating air around

You don't need a fan for an air intake, just a way for air to get in.

well i have sheetrock covering the hole in my closet, and at the top of the sheetrock there is a 2 inch gap because i cut it too short so air gets into that

Seconded, get rid of the tin foil. Looks luke a solid setup though.

so what do you think should i get the mylar or the visqueen?

and if i get rid of the foil how much wil the temp drop its at 84 during the day now and 78 at night

I'm not sure if it'll make a big difference in temp, although that is a bit warm. If you're seeing temp get to 84F in the winter, you're going to see big problems in the summer. Overheating is one of the easier ways to stress the plant. 76 is the magic number, but I've found that not-very-sensitive plants (like AK or Northern Lights) can do fine in 80F.

I don't know what the temp is in the adjacent room, but to get that temp down, you should probably improve your air circulation. The best way I've found to do this is to remove the light hood's glass panel (if it has one), cap one of the light hood's ducting adapters, and duct the other one out to your exhaust fan. This exhausts the heat from the light and the air from the room at the same time. It sounds like your passive intake (the gap) should be enough, but if you cant control your temperature, you may want to consider another fan to force air in or a better fan (like an inline duct fan) to exhaust air out. Or both.

I'd go with the black'n'white visqueen plastic. nothing can reflect light like the white side of that stuff. You can find it online or at your local hydroponics store. But seriously, you're better with nothing than tin foil.

NVM about the ducting to the light, etc. I just saw that you're using floro's. Can you get a picture up of the whole room?

Do you think just his 125w CFL would even generate enough heat to worry about hotspots in that area?

alright im going to go with the visqueen and heres the best pics of the whole room i could ge and the pic of the gap

my seeds just got here today from attitude im gonna try one of the dinafem 2nd grade freebees just incase my room is insufficient it wont mess up any of my good seeds, im excited to grow pineapple express

Is it just how the photos look, or is your room like 3ft tall?

lol my room is about 3 and a half feet tall

but if i get autoflowers they wont grow that big and theyll fit maybe only just 1 or 2 plants at a time though
