If you look at my post history, you'll see I had my first go with hydroponics about 10 years ago. Started with CFL lights, after that grow I got a MH/HPS Light and did my first SCROG. Then life hit me with an uppercut like a ton of bricks (divorce), I had to give up all my grow equipment, and moved a few states away... Well, life is back on track now, and the state I am in just legalized marijuana, cultivation as well, so I decided to get back into it! Sure, I'm a little early (law changes on July 1st), but I just couldn't hold back...
First step was to build a grow area. I have a 3'x3' grow tent, but the best location to grow in my house wouldn't fit the tent. I converted the area in my basement under the stairs into a grow closet. I was already gutting the room next to the stairs for future renovations, so the stair area was tempting me. I added an electrical outlet, put MDF board up for walls, bought cheap sub-flooring to make a giant door, and lined the walls with reflective mylar. Last part was running ventilation, luckily a friend of mine had all the tools needed and we punched a hole out of my basement for ventilation. You can stand right outside of the grow closet and not smell a thing, you open the door and BAM, nothing but skunk.... It's great! Here's a bunch of pics during the build process...
