New Grow Room - Help & Ideas appreciated plus Electricity issue

Good day to all!

I am a novice grower, had 3 grows under my belt, only small one's though but now I have access to a room which will hopefully allow me to do something more on a larger scale :bigjoint:

The room is L410cm x W360cm x H120cm it has 2 windows with radiators under them (which is good to have because it gets cold here in Switzerland) and I will be taking the hanging door off and putting a Velcro curtain in its place to make more use of the space (it's an in swinging door)

I'll make a couple of boxes to cover the windows and adding a few spigots on each one of different sizes. After disinfecting, the whole room will be decked out in Easygrow reflective film and sealed with reflective tape to make the room air tight because I would like to make use of some Co2 during the grow.

Here is how the room looks now:

Now I already have a little equipment but I am not sure if it's enough for what I need.

Rohr-Ventilator S&P Typ TD 250/100 - SILENT 250 m3/h /180 m3/h with 100mm fitting point

2x Prima Klima Aktivkohlenfilter Coco Eco 125mm 360m3 (I was thinking maybe I can hook 2 up to 1 ventilator with a Y fitting???)

Can Fan RK 125L / 350m3/h.

Oh and I have a remote control fan as you can see in the picture. It's nice and quiet and I can get a couple more if necessary.

I have lights but I am going to opt for something more environment efficient and get 4 DIMLUX EXPERT 600W Watt Full Fixture lights. I'll also get the Dimlux Maxi controller and a heat camera (which can be plugged into the controller). With this controller, I am able to hook up all lights to it and they will all work in tandem with one another. It's a really cool system :cool:

I also have an issue with electricity. The meters here are all pretty old and I don't know how to read what watts and amps are available to me in the apartment :wall:. If anyone can help me out here I would be happy.

Here is a picture of the meter:

So, I have no idea what any of that means but I will buy something I can plug into the sockets in the room to read what is running through into there and I will probably need to re-route the power from another room or 2 and install some kind of power/control board.

So if anyone has anything to add to this, I would be extremely grateful. I would prefer to use the equipment that I already have because things aren't cheap here but there is always room for compromise I think.

Oh, I will be setting up a tent and growing clones in it in another room so this room is ONLY for flowering.

As for the plants, well, I have no idea what i'll grow yet. I can think about that a little more on the way. :confused:

I'm looking forward to hearing any ideas. :weed:.

Well either everyone was too busy for this or all my responses got deleted :-P

Anyway, I think I nearly finished with what I started. I decided to split the room for the clone/seedling area so I've lost 1.3 meters in depth but that's fine with me, I still have plenty of space left.







Now I was going to get myself one of those Dutch Aeroponic systems and let that everything but they are soo damn expensive, I decided to go down the bubble bucket route.

I'll be having around 2 or 3 five gallon buckets under each light. I'm really looking forward to this DWC grow because of all the great things I keep hearing about it (even though I hear a lot of bad). I have only ever grew in Soil or Coco before but it's time for me to get my feet wet so to speak.

Right now, I have my young 'uns in their buckets (From Seed) and they are doing great.

I'll be doing a grow journal anyway. Today I got me an EC/TDS/Temp meter and that was pretty much the last part of the jigsaw.

Oh yeah, I bought another light. 600w Dimlux expert. I will replace the other 2 with the same and hook them up to an environmental control panel.

Thanks for watching. Hope to see everyone involved in the grow journal when it's up and running :bigjoint:
