I'm thinking now about actually just transforming my garage into a general hydroponic grow room with a bunch of peppers and herbs as well. I love gardening in many forms, so expanding into growing other things along with it would give a real air of legitimacy to the whole operation. plus that way when people want to see the garage, they can see my peppers and tomatoes etc and that will explain all the noise and heat of an indoor op, and with the ganja in a separate enclosure they likely won't go snooping around.

Sounds good to me!  I wish I had a house and had all those options.  Is this a one car garage or larger?  Have you measured the space out yet?  Is there heating set up in the garage?

so I'm thinking about having my little room be either 3x5 feet or 3x6 feet with a 2x3 section for veg, and then the flowering room will obviously vary depending on what dimensions I finally choose.

you guys think a 400W for veg and a 600W for flowering sounds like a good idea? or should I just use the entire area for both flowering and veg and get a 1000W digital ballast?

How would you use the one light for two light cycles?  Would you manually cover the other plants?  I like the idea of having a 600 for flowering and 400 for veging.  Or you could use that 400w and 600w for flowering (or a single 1000w) and use some floro's (or cfls) on the veg cycles.  That seemed to do a great job for me on my first couple grows, for vegging.

well I'm going to keep the flouro setup I just grew with in that 2x2 tent for mothers and clones. then I want to have a separate area for vegging (under the 400) and then a larger area for flowering.

OR

I'm thinking about having moms and clones in the tent, but instead of two small enclosures, just one large space where I do a couple weeks of 20/4 and then switch the whole batch over to flower

thoughts? I'm going to be starting construction on this in the next couple days and I'd like some help getting my brain in order before I go buying materials :tongue:

Do you guys think a 400W MH is over kill for a 2x3 space? I'm thinking about stepping down to a 250W to save some money, and then possibly getting a 1000W HPS for the area, but I feel like that might be a bit too much for a 3x3 area too....

also, do you guys think I should get an air cooled hood for a 250W MH in a 2x3 space? I was definitely going to with a 400W, but I think I could save some serious dough by going with a cheapie reflector and just having high air exchange.

Will you be heating the shed in the winter or will you rely on the heat from the lights to heat the place?

I still haven't decided, all ideas are welcome.

I'm going to be insulating the walls very heavily to hold all available heat in during winter, and keep the heat out during summer. however, I still have yet to figure out a good way to bring in fresh air during the winter without drastically cooling the room. still trying to plan a clever way to use the heat from the lights to keep the temperature nominal during day and night.

well I got high last night and thought of this;

What about running all the ventilation ducting under the floor, so that when fresh air is drawn in it is forced across all the ducting containing hot air. I'm thinking the heat radiating from the ducting might be enough to keep the temperature at a constant level.

Ok, so whats the latest idea's?
Are you still talking about the shed or is this now the garage idea?

Venting under the floor sounds like a good idea! :lol:

I think small fans in the right places may be all your gonna need for a winter shed grow. Heat rises and cold air falls so if fans can be arranged in a way to mix the cold air with the hot air. Then basically you just need an intake for fresh air.

lol I don't really know where it all stands right now. the garage was kind of a temporary infatuation because of the ease of construction, but because I frequently entertain I think it's a tad too risky. I'm not so much concerned with law enforcement since I have my card, I just don't want some drunk fucker finding my grow and taking a 1/4 of free weed ya know?

so you think that just the ambient heat from the lights will be enough to keep the shed above freezing if I mix the air enough?

No, I don't think the lights alone would be enough to keep a freestanding shed warm enough during the winter.

awesome!!! I just came up with a couple ideas as well, and I think tomorrow I'm going to spend my time sketching them out as best I can. We'll meet back here and compare notes :wink:

Fuck yes for SpaceMonkey!

I have a few thoughts as well, I need to ponder a bit. Good thing I'm about to be a passenger in a long car ride! :grin:

Ok, I just drew up a new sketch really quick, tell me what you all think....



I'm thinking either just a heater for the general intake into the veg room, and then the air travels to the flowering room (already warm due to the preheater and the 400WMH), before being exhausted through both lights and finally outside.

OR

two separate smaller fans, the veg one running full time, the flowering one running nonstop while the light is on, and only withdrawing air about 15 minutes every 2 or 3 hours. This would eliminate the problem of needing to transfer air from the veg to the flowering area, but confounds the issue of incoming air management.

I like option 1, but what's to encourage the incoming air to hang around in the veg chamber? Path of least resistance is as you drew that dotted arrow around the sliding door. Maybe just an oscillating fan in the veg room would do it.

If you had the heater hooked up to a thermostat, that'd be sweet.
