I have decided on a room in my house that should work well for an indoor garden. There is access to fresh air (window) and an attic access port that I can exhaust air into. The design of the new garden needs to mitigate any permeate modifications to the room. The goal being to be able to disassemble the garden and have everything back to normal within a weekend.
The garden will be split into two different sections, separated a simple wall built with 2x4s and Black and White Poly from Sunleaves. A tarp zipper on the ploy will easily make a door. The two separate sides will allow for different lighting schedules. 18 on/6 off for vegetation and propagation then 12/12 on the other side for flowing.
The current flooring is carpet, which can be detrimental for an indoor garden as it provides a nice environment for certain mites and mold. At this time, I'm unable to remove the carpet so I'll have to cover it up. I plan on putting a continuous sheet of Husky 6mm plastic down underneath rubber exercise mats.
Walls will be covered with Black and White Poly from Sunleaves with the white size facing out for better reflection. I will simply staple the poly to the wall through a piece of transparent duct tape. The duct tape prevents the poly from tearing.
Fresh air will be gathered from the window (what better?). I will lock the window in a fixed position with a 150µ screen over the opening. A sub frame will be created around the window, sealed with caulk and rubber stripping, with a board containing 2 6" with ducting collars. The 6" holes will allow me to run flexible ducting to both the veg and flower sides of the garden.
Air can easily be exhausted through the attic. I have a basic square attic port. I will create a new attic port will a piece of hardboard, drilled with 6" holes to accommodate ducting.
The room currently on (2) 120V 15A circuits. For now, this should be plenty of enough power.
Progress to follow.
