hey guys and gals. This is my first grow but going to be my second grow room. Sort of like a grow journal I'm thinking of making a room journal.
Well it's not a dream room but it's probably perfectly sized for our states legal limit of 12&12
I have a shed that measures 12x20 and the back of it had a continued roof overhand that measures 8x20 so what I did was build a floor and walls to enclose the space.
The walls are 2x4 construction and the floors 2x8. I insulated the walls with a newer type of insulation called roxul. It's great for noise and mold resistant, the walls are done in green moisture resistant drywall, the floor was completely covered in 2" of ridgid foam then plywood over. The foam is r-8 which is good enough for me.
This is the smaller veg room. Same construction and measuring 4x8 sorry for the sideways picture. I pitched the plywood to the center and glued down a rubber membrane with a shower Drain in the center. Due to the size I didn't want to have saucers that needed vacuuming out so the Drain eliminates that labor. After the membrane went down I added 1/8" sheet of reflective insulation stapled Over the top of the membrane. This is a great product because it's waterproof adds insulation and should help reflect the light.
The rest of the grow room pic below
Will have 3 flood tables that measure 3x3 on a frame with caster wheels. The flood tables will also have drains that exit the shed so again no more vacuuming. Once this is done I'm putting in a resivour. The resivour will go to a 5 gallon buckets hanging from the ceiling that will also have a overflow line heading back to the resivour Just for when I forget to shut off the pump. From the resivour I will have a main waterline against the wall with 3 separate feedlines that enter each flood table with shutoff valves. When it's time to water I will just open each valve as needed to water each section of plants.
During the construction I added a header in the wall and framed an opening for a nice sized Ac unit and also another header with a small hidden door to the main shed.
