.... and then the guy metal straps the 2 x 16 x 20's to the metal frame of the building!!! LOL! I dont know how much I paid for all that overbuild, but wood is ridiculous high right now. I just built another 30x40 shop, and it was cheaper to built it metal than wood frame.

Do it right the first time!
That's what I had in mind :) ... 2 sides of the grow room have another outside wall (room inside of a building)...so those have 8 inches each of framing/spray foam/drywall and metal on the outside of the building. So, about 16 inches of insulation on those 2 walls. It's like a Yeti cooler in that room. Very easy to control. You can hardly hear a thunderstorm moving through.

Ya lumber is ridiculous up here in Canada as well..... A 2 x4 x8 is 10 bucks pretty much double from summer time ......and plywood is 70 bucks a sheet lmao it was 40 a sheet in the summer when I built one of my rooms lol

We are going back to C25 medium tho. We noticed that plants with C25 compared to BM7 had much whiter and healthier roots. It drains very well, holds ph more consistently, and is a little cheaper. Bags are heavy as hell tho. Gonna have to hire some muscle to transplant.

Yeah, when I was getting bids for this building, I was just going to do wood frame, and metal sheeting with a concrete floor. All the bids I were getting sounded really high, so I called the local lumber store and asked what was up... this lady tells me that they were paying $7-10 a sheet for OSB siding 3 weeks prior.. now they are paying $30 wholesale. WTF is going on???? Dont get me wrong, I'd rather have metal frame, but GEEZ!

I saw on a Facebook page your review of the airos. Looks like a great precaution.
I think it was worth the money for sure!.. we inspected top colas very close with a scope, and didn't see anything. The round before that, we could visibly see mold when you peeled back the top cola nugs.... which is why we got the AirROS in the first place. Lost our ass on that round.

Built some houses this last summer. Lumber guy gave us a heads up about the price hike, and we ordered lumber for the next 2 houses a month early, saved $40k :shock: I'm a welder by trade, and I can build things like decks and handrails as cheap as the lumber guys right now :lol:

Are you still scrubbing the air in the room through carbon even if you have the AirRos? I've heard claims that the AirRos is all you need to eliminate smell and it won't effect the smell coming off the plants... what's your take?

No, we are sealed 100%. All we run is the AirROS. No air coming in or out except when we enter the room. The AirROS does kill out all the smell, but at some point in about week 7-9, it can be detected when you come in... otherwise it always smells like a new hotel room in there.

Time to do it over again!... got everything cleaned up and sterilized. I wasn't real happy with the yields, just shy of 19lbs. which is about a gram a watt. I've done alot better in the past. Gonna try a different lineup this run with Ethos Dosi Whoa! (3rd run of this pheno), new strains are Ethos Candy Store, Citradelic Sunset, and Crescend0 rbx1. Gonna change it up a bit.
