I saw that. He was talking about maiming or killing someone over a plant.
Seems totally stable.

Easily doable

eyes would melt ... lol .. like that

my nephew was always trying to get in to a room full of junk at my parents. told him i'd let him in no problem, if he fed the monsters that lived there .... :cheesygrinsmiley:

his mom had a fit lol ....
 
Mornin y'all.

Ammy and Derpy got bumped up to 4.5gr/gal
Terpy is just behind at 4gr/gal
ATF is at 1gr.
GZ mom got trimmed up and trained a little.

More staining and painting today along with caulking and trim work. Still need to figure out a grid or supports for the ceiling. I'm not affixing the shelf until I have all of my equipment in place. It will be easily removable. Pull up the trim and run a razor knife along the caulk seam.
I would just have to tack down the trim and recaulk it when I reinstall it. If there is a leak or change in equipment I can access it easily. It may even come in handy if I have an extra tall plant and nowhere to put it.
I do actually need to source some linoleum to keep the top semi-waterproof. I think I can find a free remnant. I only need a 30"x29" piece.
I am going to have a big drain pan in there so I don't foresee any flooding but want to protect my supplies that will be stored underneath, most of which will be in plastic anyway. Under the false floor it will be lined with heavy duty plastic
Gotta come up with a bit more cash for the door and vent covers. Trying to make this look like a typical boring closet from the outside.
I'm not sure how many passive intakes to add. I thought that I would base it on a tent of similar size. I think two decent size ones with dampers may work.

Let me know your thoughts. Am I missing anything? Do you think that 2 vents are enough ??

I think the louvered vent covers will be the ticket, for sure! Definitely a great idea to control your airflow.
:high-five:

I can hide them behind furniture if I plan it right.
Looks like they have some that you can add a black charcoal air filter to. I wonder how much light that would keep out??
In case a photo should get away from me, this space could be used as it is a foot taller than my tent.

No idea what to do for a door.
I could buy one but I don't have an extra $120 laying around.
Rough opening is 19 3/4" x 81 1/8". No finishing trim.
Looks like they were going to put a bi-fold door in perhaps.
I'll hit Craigslist or our local materials recycling store.

cardboard on a timber frame with mylar for door. Cant sing the praises of recycling strong cardboard enough. very light but strong when stapled to a thin wood frame. my whole attic build is 2 old sliding doors and cardboard walls. Doesnt need to hold any weight just mylar. mobile walls in a way !. just a thought and a re-cycler. lol

you might be pulling enough with it that you will not need much of an intake.. inch square or so. would be surprised how much air leaks in around cracks etc. light tight is not the same as airtight.

have you considered light traps if it's the only door ?

I have a curtain for now. I'll eventually have one. Either I will make one with industrial velcro, canvas and a tent zipper or buy one. The ones I've seen are adhesive and look kinda flimsy. I need it to be easily removeable from the bottom. I have rolling carts to store some of my supplies on.
I'm not planning on growing photos in there but it is something that would be good to have just in case.

Most everything that I've used so far has been repurposed. Fasteners and paint are new.
I would love to make my own door but to keep this grow secure I need a door that I can lock and looks totally normal.
