How did I do?

First off much love to the good folks here @ RIU and also Jorge Cervantes. Love his YouTube channel.

So last Wednesday the ladies went into soil and I figured I owed everyone here an update. All of your answers and feedback were really helpful. Expect more questions as this rolls along.

So I converted a 7'x4'x8' section of my subterranean storage unit into what I'm calling the BudBunker. Construction took forever as I kept having to tweak the plans, but I think it was a solid effort for a first try and I will use what I learn to tweak the bunker for the next grow.

So I'm running a 600w dimmable ballast with a sunmaster bulb. 4" inline fan with a tall boy charcoal canister on a thermostat both hung by rope to cut down on noise caused by vibration. 16" oscillating fan. Running in happy frog with some additional perlite. Vision NL auto fems. Yes the light is currently hanging from rope. Rope ratchets are in the mail still and didn't want to wait on something like that to get rolling. Opinions? Feel free to be critical, I can take it.

And yes it says "door" on the outside of the door. This was done when I was cutting the wood, not bc I'm a tard.

Looks like a good start...

Fabulous job with the caulking... just kidding, nobody's going to see it anyway...lol

I'd say put the fan above door

Looks ghetto as fuck, but I love ghetto shit so great job. It seems like it will do the job fine and being below ground should help you to keep it cool easier. Good luck

So yeah I used 4 cans of that gap filling foam from Home Depot. But it gave me an air tight seal on the door. Just hoping it's not wicked toxic. Lol.

2 fans? It's already like a tornado in here when the 1 fan is on high. I was thinking of putting 2x 6" clip on fans above the door when they get a little bigger.

I remember when you first posted and were half painted... It looks good man. Glad you got it done! Enjoy the grow and the best part if the harvest... let us know how things go for you.

Best AND worst part is the harvest.


The REALLY best part is after harvest!!!
Or else why do it?

Good job on the room and good luck on the growing!

Great job on your first grow area. Can't think of anything you're missing, except maybe an MH bulb, but you can still grow good bud without it. Just means your node spacing will be wider, plant will stretch a bit. Can always add blue lighting though.

I would like to hear from the one person who voted no, why he thought it was bad. I mean saying it sucks but not posting why it does is not helpful to the op.

Happy growing.

great set up dude, good luck!
