Grow Room Floorplans. Here to help.

Well, this really sucks. Lost all of that great info that was posted on this thread and have to start it over again. Complete waste. Anyway, to all of those who had questions or floorplans up on here just let me know and I will repost them. Be specific as to which was yours as I have them all saved. Here you go Phishtank. This is the one we hae been working on.

Thanks brother. They can knock us down but they cant knock us out brotha. The joys of the internet. Atleast it's been claimed that anon. has been doing it...i'm a fan of them...so they can deface and hack any website they please in my mind.

Can you keep a T-5 Fluro for clones and mothers all in one area instead of the 600w MH....looking to cut costs right now. I have the fluro's but would have to get the ballast and bulb for the MH. I was told that a few T-5's would do the job in my clone room and mothers.

Sure. What a lot of guys do is build a shelf about 5' high and mount the T5 underneath for the mothers and then put their clones on top with some CFL's or a smaller T5. You might not want to put them under the same T5 because your moms are going to be a lot bigger so you will have to keep the light farther away and this may stretch your clones.

Ok, gotta start over again lol. To answer ur questions

* i planned on using a portable a/c to cool the room

* 1 6"inline fan to cool the 1000w hoods, seperate

* 1 inline fan and carbon filter to ventilate the rooms

* wall fans as needed (whatever u suggest, they are cheap)

* dehumidifier - not sure if im gonna need on

Also gonna chang the 600w for the mothers to a t5 fluro. The back wall with the recessed section (the 10' part is against a bedroom and the 4' part is back up the the back yard)

Not sure if im using co2, get a lot of mixed answers when talking to ppl as far as the ventilation goes

what i was asking last night....was how big of an AC would i need to not have to vent anything out of my room?

Ambient Room Temps (40btu per 1sq.ft.) = 16,000btu (20'x20'x40btu)
600w Lights (2,400btu x 10) = 24,000btu
600w Ballasts (1,500btu x 5) = 7,500btu
Dehumidifier Flower (30btu x 70pint rating) = 2,100btu
Dehumidifier Veg (30btu x 50pint rating) = 1,500btu

51,100btu. This doesn't factor in a Co2 generator if you get one. So what you are looking at is a 4 ton a/c. You could try it out with a 3 ton (36,000btu) unit and see if it works. These are just generally accepted calculations but aren't true for mst rooms. Worse comes to wrse you just have to vent the lights if it doesn't work. Not hard to add some ducting and a few holes in the wall for exhaust.

Yeah was just wondering. If I dont have to poke holes in the exterior walls of the home it would be nice. I've also thought about starting the vent system at one wall of the room facing the garage..and exhausting to another wall facing the garage....and just venting air out of that side of the garage since there is a window over there.

iIf you are doing a window a/c then just pull the air from that side through the space on the side of the a/c and exhaust it into the garage. You just make plywood cutouts on ither side of the a/c with 6 or 8" holes and flanges. then just connect ducting to your lighs and pull straight through. really easy.

You sure those distance are correct? That is a 12,400 sq.ft. room. That is twice the size of my house.

Hey Robo, this is what I've got so far. If you are using a protable a/c then you eed to put a passive intake fan on the wall with a temperature controller to pull cool air from the flower room into the veg room. You are going to need to put some type of fan on your mothers just to push that air out of that cubby space. Any wall fan will work. Hang your carbon filter and fan against the ceiling. It will save you a ton of space. I HIGHLY recommend Co2 in your flower room. Get yourself a small Co2 generator and a controller. Look at the Mini Gen for Hydro Innovations. They even have a controller fro it. All together about $500 plus a propane tank. Co2 will significantly increase your yield. Still do not understand how you will be venting your lights in the flower room and in the veg. Are you going to be just blowing that air back into the room? Or are you going to be pulling/venting that air from outside? Which wall will you be using? Let me know.

I've done the measurements in Inches hehe

How tall is the room and where are the doors (north, south, etc../middle of the wall, bottom, right, left, etc..)

Basically Window is north facing, door is south-west corner, Pretty high about 80inch

To make it easier window on back of house say thats back wall then my door is on the bottom left wall. Vents are Below and above the window.

I plan on installing a minisplit.
