Strain:
Superdawg (ChemD x MSS)
6 Plants

Room:
11' x 10' x 8'

Since that is all I have that figured out let me tell you the details of the grow room.
Walls are an ugly brownish
Floors are carpeted
Windows roll outward and cover most of the one wall.


Plans to modify:
I am going to put mylar on the walls and roof. Easy enough.

For the annoying window, I am going to make an insulated wooden covering that will block all light & air from coming out and going in. Through this plywood/foam/plywood covering I am also hooking up my carbon filter and exhaust. I'll also be able to cut a door that can be opened and closed for passive intake that will supply the room with *cold* natural air.

I haven't figure out my lighting or my pot sizes yet, since I have just decided today that I'm going to grow in a room this big.

What would you guys use to protect the carpets?


I'll be posting pictures of the room in a few minutes!
Wish me luck! Any and all advice will be gladly appreciated.

Just got back from the Hydro store and Home Depot

What I got:
Starter soil for the incoming clones
Guano
Mylar 100' 2mm thick
Staple Gun
1000wt HPS Hortilux x2
Ballast for HPS/MH x2
Cord to hang lights x2
6" Fan w/ ducting
Carbon filter
Spray Bottles x4
B&D Jigsaw
Pots:
1 Gal x6
5 Gal x6
10 Gal x6

I'm going to hang the Mylar for now and then figure out what I'm going to do for the window box.
Sorry for the lack of pictures, I'm having some trouble uploading them.

I have an electrical question.

I don't want to blow my circuit by having all the electricity going through one breaker, at least I understand that much.

My fuse box says I have 4 breakers
1 20A
3 15A

I have two 15A breakers running into my GR, one of these breakers is shared with the Refrigerator and nothing else. The other has a bunch of different plugs that line the hallways/bathroom etc

My goal was to run the 1000wt HPS for flowering and share the breaker with the fridge. The other outlets in the room (other breaker) would be used for the other 1000wt ballast , fans, exhaust. Do you think I will have a problem?
