    Now I wonder if I keep this up, if my buds will have a garlic taste to them, LOL

    Brown marmorated stink bugs - possible grow room repellent

    Hi there everyone, our area is pretty bad for Brown marmorated stink bugs, you have probably heard of them or seen them, they are brown to black and have a shield shaped body, and there are not really any foolproof methods to get rid of them. I may have found a moderately effective repellent...

    Insulation question

    Just wanted to post an update; I installed the rafter vents and R-19 over that, black fireproof plastic over that and mylar over that. It is so effective that the snow now melts much slower than the rest of the roof, so when the snow melts the square over my room stays frozen longer...LOL. I'm...

    Insulation question

    Got my rafter vents and I'm gonna start setting them up tonight. I got Gorilla wood glue for the adhesive, we'll see how well that works after initial testing. Meanwhile in the makeshift veg chamber my plants are coming along well, hopefully I should have the room done just in time to flower!

    Insulation question

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I think I found the item you're talking about, called an attic chute or rafter vent: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xom/R-100537404/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 That significantly reduces the complication of my project...

    Insulation question

    I think I figured out a fairly easy way to do this. Each of the open "sections" between the roof beams I would be insulating does lead up to a rectangular section going up to the attic. Currently there is the end of a piece of insulation on each one, filling the gap (this is the attic floor...

    Insulation question

    I had read about this and considered it, it sounds like a fine idea. You're absolutely correct about the way this space is designed, the soffit vents bring in cool air normally, and I think I could make this work if I could get a good seal on the foam insulation. Cool air could be carried from...

    Insulation question

    Well you have a point about the foam insulation. I could get enough of it for around the same cost as the radiant barrier material, not risk putting too much reflected heat onto the plants, and have better all around insulation value. You all have been a big help, I very much appreciate it...

    Insulation question

    By rigid foil backed foam you're talking about insulated sheathing, right? Comes in like 1/4, 1/4 and 1 inch foam boards? That does sound like it would definitely get me there, having 2 types of insulation layered. However instead of the foam board, I had considered getting a sheet of radiant...

    Insulation question

    Thanks for the replies! I'll address your comments one by one. The rafters are 2x6 so I guess would need to use R-19, that makes sense. I do have a ventilation system, I'm using a 4" high velocity inline fan for my exhaust, through ducting and eventually to the outside. The problem is not...

    Insulation question

    Hi there folks, this is my first time posting. Thanks to this forum and others I successfully implemented and completed an attic grow in the later months of the year. It's got some differences from the ones on here, namely because it's not in the attic per se but a right-triangle-shaped...
