Bud Wiser Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 @@Tenchie That's a clever idea that. Wait until harvest time, then set fire to the shed ... crop, trim, dry and smoke all your weed in ten minutes! (That's if the carbon monoxide doesn't kill you). Handy idea if the plod are running up the garden path towards you, too. Bud on Fire 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTR Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks botanic, I was going to leave a gap between stud & existing walls, cover with Celotex, Kingsland, seal joints, cover with thermo double layer insulation foil, then reflective sheeting. My assumption is leaving the gap between stud & boards would be for air movement & insulation in its own right. Please feel free to correct me if my way of thinking is not right. I believe I may have an opportunity to buy good quality seconds silver foil 50mm floor insulation boards. Do you think this would do for walls, ceiling & all? What does PIR stand for? Thanks man. PIR - Polyisocyanurate .... It's a insulation board Not that PIR @ botanics 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Wiser Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Hi guys (and @Irishgirl) ... I've been busy with the wood again ..! Managed to grab a few hours to myself today and built the frame for the doorway into the growroom. It was quite tricky, the door frame had to be true, no twisting, and fit as snug to the two upright supports as possible with minimal gaps. I found this easier to achieve by building the door frame first, fitting it, then adding the top and bottom 'beams' afterwards so the only dimension that had to be accurate was the width of the frame: You'll notice you have to step over a 15" 'lip' into the room ... this is for 3 reasons ... 1). the floor's uneven and therefore opening and closing the door would be troublesome, 2). I don't want odours leaking out, so the door has to 'fit' ... and, 3). CO2 'gathers' in the bottom 12" of the room because of it's density, so this is where most of the gas-containment needs to be at it's most efficient. I really can't remember having had so much fun as doing this project, I go to bed with gas and wake up with wood ..!

Bud Intrigued Simply a small 4" inline fan , with ducting attached one end ...The idea is to place the fan an inch or 2 off the floor picking up co2 that's sat on the floor , & dumping it over your plants . I tied mine to a corner of my tent run duct up the leg & loop it over my lights ... In theory it's a great idea , I've only used in a cupboard so I can't compare with like a side by side test .
