The VIVOHUT is a custom built year round growing facility.
After the fire I'll never grow in the house again.
Just curious do you have a smoke detector in your grow area? :Namaste:
Adding CO2 was fairly simple in my grow room and was well worth the minor cost.
I can shut the exhaust and circulate the CO2 with the heat.
It was a great upgrade with excellent results.
I recommend it highly. :thumb:

I do all automation by myself with some ESP Stuff and co, also the lamp is DIY. But it's recommended to have some electrical skills for stuff like that ;)

U had a fire in your house cause of the grow? What happend?

In my case a simple smoke detector wont work cause i wont hear it in the house, so I may need something to tinker ^^ but it really may be a good safety addition.

Btw, in the winter/ autumn the exhaust is closed and I work with a dehumidifier in that room for keeping the humidity in a "normal" value and also use the benefit of heating from that device ;) atm we have ~2°C outside, when it's getting colder I need also some extra heat from a radiator, but that's also not the biggest problem.

In that case I'm also plan to isolate the outer building next year from the inside...to keep the energy costs low, cause here in germany u pay a lot for electricity :rolleyes:

My brand new sponsored light blew up and set the house on fire.
Here is all the details and pics.
I can't look at it anymore.
But it's a helpful read.

Thread 'Fire Safety: How do you prevent a disaster?'

Hello everyone.
Here is my question.

How do you prevent a grow room fire?

Do not let this happen to you.

For those of you who don't know I had a horrendous fire in my grow room.
For those that do know, Thank you for all your love and support.
Everyone here has been a godsend of love and positivity.

My recommendation for everyone is as follows.

1- put drywall on the ceiling and walls of your grow room.
Any fire retarded material is recommended.

2- install atleast 2 smoke detectors in your grow room.
Install one directly above your light.
And one at the opening that can easily hear...

That's why I trust just myself and build it by my own!

What exactly blew up?

I'm more afraid that the oscillating fan wire brokes again... or the fan itself, here in germany u dont get good small oscillating fans...or at least I dont know any good branch

It was the driver that blew up and caught the panda film on fire which caught the house on fire.
The smoke was choking me while I was crawling around with a fire extinguisher trying to get into the grow room.
Pitch black with thick smoke to deal with I couldn't see anything.
It was 6 days before the house was supposed to be sold.
Created a disaster for us.
But I crawled out with my 2 cats and a dog safely and eventually sold the house and moved to northern Ontario.
It was Official Wee Gr@w and they changed their name to Wee Gr@w
They still have a picture of my grow room on their website. 🤬
I use vivosun Swivel fans, don't know if they are available in Germany. :Namaste:
Hope you get something reliable.

I built my first room on a budget.
I framed a room and covered the inside with panda film.
It’s a poly product that is bright white.
Here’s a pic.
