Hello,
just thought I would post some pics of my growroom as it is the first one I have set up & i am pretty chuffed with it.  Its in a downstairs toilet (toilet removed!  ). I was going to set up a growroom in the attic but a like minded mate saw the downstairs toilet & suggested I use that room instead. I pondered for a while  , then realised that as the room was not in use (kids wont use it cos of spiders & no heating) it would be the ideal location. I removed the toilet & got a new flexi toilet pipe to go into the sewer hole. I then fitted a fan to the flexi pipe, some ducting to the front of the fan & a carbon filter on the other end. For the air coming in I removed the trim from the inner window sill which opened a hole into the wall cavity. I then blanked off the window with a piece of board which has a four inch hole cut into it & the silver flexi hose attached dropping down to floor level. (The window also has a cheap pull down blind on the inside so any nosey parker cant see the duct hole through the window  )its been set up for three weeks now & my babies have been put into flower for a week so far. I have had to put an extra oscillating fan in to try & lower the temps (gets to about 82 degrees at the end of 12 hours lights on)  anyway, here are some pics :-
Any comments appreciated (good or bad

Owderb Welcome minter. Good idea for the area and the vent , but first if that's a hps or mh lamp i'd get a contactor (or make one for around 15 quid) then a shelf about waist height for the ballast . check for lightproofness, then jobs a good un  -------------------- keep growing your herbs, keep looking at porn and relax:- MiL

I have been checking the ballast temps & it is cool to the touch (smaller oscillating fan on floor blows directly at it)I also checked for light proofing & its great - no light gets in or out (stood inside daytime with house lights on for about 5 mins & still couldn't see my hand right in front of my face )

You should have kept the toilet in. You know you need to flush before you smoke it?

DONT GET A RELAY!! thanks for reply Tremont, will put shelf up tomorrow for ballast, with ref to the contactor, I have just been reading through the linked thread (very helpfull) but someone on there mentioned fleabay & I have just looked on there & found an Envirolite 22 amp lighting timer & contactor for £12.95 + £1.95 postage. That seems very cheap to me & just the job (not the 40 to 50 quid mark I was expecting). Anyone used one of these? |

-------------------- The purpose of government is to keep the balance of power in place, by fooling the populus into believe that they are physically powerless individuals, instead of an overpowering organism.
The tools by which a small armed force rules over a large populus are well explored in history, all democracys are designed to fool the people into believeing that they have real political power, and allows every action of the governing body to be sanctioned by the populus, because they voted for the leader. The voting system is, of course, always a sham. Such things are easily rigged, with the selection of a small number of candidates and with large coorperate funding to the intended victors. The individual is weak, the organism is strong. The revolution will not be televised. -The Preacher |
