Designs have stabilized and the money is in the bank. Ready to order parts! So excited! Enclosure will be built with 1" PVC and Foylon walls. It will measure 5.3' x 3.75' x 6'. The enclosure will be anchored to pressure treated plywood at the base. If need be, it will also be anchored to the basement ceiling. Foylon will be attached with Wide and Tough Gorilla Tape. Weatherstripping will be placed along the edges. (the big brown box behind the grow is a half wall in the basement.) Intake fan will be a 6" inline 240CFM duct fan filtered with an automotive cabin air filter at the intake. Exhaust fan will be a Ventech 6" inline fan and carbon filter combo. Power will be supplied by a 15 A Circuit spliced from the nearby 20 A Bathroom circuit, mounted in an RV electric hook-up. Lighting will be two Apollo 400 Watt ballasts with wing hoods, swapped between HPS/MH as appropriate. Controller will be a Raspberry Pi, with relay switched outlets and temp/hum inputs. Grow Containers will be 5 Gallon Food Grade Buckets sitting on milk crates with 6" net pots in the lids. They will have either 2 or 4 mist nozzles depending on mist pattern. They will drain from the bottom, back into the reservoir. Reservoir will be ~10 gallon in size, sourced locally, and depends on local pricing and availability. Pump will be an Aquatec 8800 RO Booster pump with an 80/100 Pressure switch and Shurflo RV Accumulator. Can't wait to finish up some home repairs, clean the basement and garage and get to work! Happy Toking! - Indica Sloth p.s. I have more detailed costs and parts lists on my blog, but I don't think I am allowed to link to it.
Omg I was just drawing plans for this same damn HPA system... Like right now. You just did the hard work for me. Where are you sourcing the parts? Also are you planning on using straight or angled nozzles for your grow? +rep subbed for sure Can you pm me to your blog??
