Its been a while and construction has slowed some. I have been using the veg room for the past couple weeks and so far it has proven to be very functional.

As for the the flower room, it has been caulked and painted. This past weekend I built and hung a door. With the door on and closed I checked for light leaks in the room. The only leaks so far were around the door jamb so I lines the inside of the jamb with rubber door seal and the room is now 100% dark.

I also made some filters for the air intake to keep some dust and hopefully ALL critters out (green strips near the floor). Air exchange fan has been hung (upper left in the photo below)

Next on the punch list is to cut an air intake for the reflector hood and hang the reflector.

Been a while since I updated this thread - been busy veggin :weed:

Hate to leave anything incomplete so here are a few more pics of the completed build (for now anyway).

Put up a couple of shelves to store ferts and other supplies

Inline fans. White one is the exhaust for the flower reflector hood, darker one is separate loop for air circulation/filtration

Electrical panel with switches, timers and ballasts. Pump and bucket for aerating the fertilizer tea on the floor.

very cool man. congrats. everything looks very well constructed and clean. the light looks a little far away from the plants in the last photos. don't be afraid to get the light a little closer. 16" for a 1000w light and 12" for a 600w light. good luck man.

I hear ya on the distance. That was the first night under 1000w HID after vegging under PL-L (floros). Didn't want to shock em the first night so I started at 30" from the tops and will drop down 18" tonight. Thanks for the feedback man!
