Hey whats up guys, this will be my 2nd op, looking for some help in some specific departments I'm not too sharp in.
-Op specs: haven't built this yet, but this is the space I have
60" wide X 30" deep X 72" tall
Wooden box, 1/2 inch OSB
I haven't decided if this is going to be soil, or aero yet. My first op was aero, loved the outcome but hated maintenance. that's for another day.
Here are a couple of my concerns, and why:
-Ventilation. where I'm at, its hot. all the damn time. luckily I'll be building inside of an a/c room that I will keep as close to 72-75 as I can. (room is about 20'x12, with a 12000 btu a/c unit) I currently have a 1000w hps, I will be trading in for a 600w. I'm going with a 'closed' vent system for my light, possibly cool tube running the air from the room through it. What size fan should I put on here? and where? (pushing, pulling) What kind of air circulation system do you recommend for moving in clean air and out with the hot air? I'm thinking I will need something serious, when its daytime I know temps will get up quick. I read something on here years ago talking about how quickly you should be able to clear your room, but I can't remember what it was.
-Smell. This is a big issue, where I am at I will have people at my location, I can not afford to have any smell leaking out. I have zero experience when it comes to carbon filters and smell, my last op this was not a concern. Is there a specific size or type of carbon filter that works the best from your experiences? Any help in this department is good.
I'll add more questions when I brainstorm them up.
