Hello again all.
Not been on here for a while, what with moving house, decorating and getting married. Its that time again to build a new growroom. I have a loft in my new gaff that I have had converted. So the grow is going in the eaves.
Now I had this idea before I even moved in, so I obviously got the sparky to put in some lecky where its going to go didnt I.
Construction commences tomorrow A.M. Good to be back. BU -------------------- |

I'm doing a grow with a 125W CFL only 1 plant take a look at my diary growing well under the blue CFL just now temps and that are great but going to need to train it so its low as CFL's dont travel well but best option for small spaces

Step 1.
Im going to start on the floor first. First thing is to prep the area and notch any wires.
Full insulation of the area is next. Underfloor, walls and roof have been covered. I have used this stuff called Spaceblanket, 200ml thick with reflective side.
Then on to the flooring, Conti floor panels, recess screwed to joists, with care not to screw in to wires. 
Cheers BU -------------------- |

Step 2
I am venting in from the converted side and not the eaves side as this will be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I fitted 2 x 4" passive intakes with some subtle vent covers.
and the reverse side.
These will be fitted into some sort of baffle to stop light pollution. Cheers BU This post has been edited by Big URL: Feb 18 2008, 11:02 PM -------------------- |

Hi Jiffa,
I will get exact dimensions tomorrow as I will be measuring for the wood panels. Its roughly about 5ft at highest point, 2 ft deep and 3 ft wide.. Plenty for a 2 plant percy grow. Cheers BU -------------------- |
