    Default Room Construction

    Room Construction


    In this chapter we will discuss the construction of a proper grow area. There are several key areas I would like to cover but in no way are these the only methods that can be used. With the invention of grow huts and even larger enclosed personal grow areas its become easy to set up a space. I like to do things on a bigger scale because I am teaching the craft of indoor growing on a care giver scale. We still only bud 12 plants at one time but we do grow year round and in order to do this you must have complete control of your grow room environment.
    Here are some Key points to address:
    Insulation is critical in controlling temperature swings and energy consumption, it also provides sound proofing.
    Security is also important as not everyone views our special plant as medicine but cash for the taking
    Durability is a must if your going to run crop after crop you can’t use flimsy materials.
    Stealth is important in a legal garden to prevent judgmental neighbors causing problems.
    My very first grow room was a walk in closet with a 430 Sun Agro lamp and a cheap bathroom exhaust fan.
    I had heat issues and smell problems but I was lucky and I produced enough bud to learn a few things that would make my next one better.
    My second area was a 4x12 Corridor with 3 400 watt lights and a larger exhaust system with added air-conditioning. It worked well but my power bills were outrageous in the un-insulated apartment I set up in.
    I have grown in 3 states and 3 countries so I have tackled many different conditions, all of this drove me to the level of scale you see in the rooms featured.
    With each design I learned more and more and you will see all of this applied to the rooms featured here.

    Before we look at a area actually built for growing lets look at a few rental homes that were converted to grow in with minimal changes to the structure.

    This is a bed room and walk in closet from almost 10 years ago.
    If you can’t screw or nail into the walls a free standing enclosure works great
    I also love upstairs bonus rooms for converting.

    This is a simple 20x24 garage that we walled off the front portion for storage and added a small office as well.
    We can open the doors and if you look inside its very hard to tell its not just all storage and office.
    12 Feet of the width of the garage gave us plenty of room to construct three separate rooms and an additional area starting seedlings.
    Not all rooms are used at once but its very handy to be able to use a room temporarily when the plants are larger just before harvesting.




    This is what we have so far. I have had new rooms professionally framed for longevity and security. The sizes are surprisingly small for what I am investing but I don't want a bigger area just a safe one.

    Default Seed Starting

    You would be surprised how many veteran growers have problems with getting seeds started. The most common mistake is to use a heat mat and cook the seeds. Cannabis is a weed and as long as the seeds are viable its hard to prevent them from germinating. I have had pot seeds germinate under the floor mat of a car in my youth and recently some of the seeds I deem not viable germinated under my BBQ grill in gravel in the cold winter. I see people soaking or treating the seeds in god knows what products and I just shake my head. Click image for larger version.

    All a seed needs to germinate is moisture and a temperature range between 50-90 and your good to go. There are other factors involved though and if you will germinate your seeds between 70-80 degrees you will have a better ratio of females. Warmer temperatures tend to produce more male plants.
    Many growers still use the tried and true method of soaking seeds in a paper towel. With the invention of “Rapid Rooters”, a product made up from composted organic materials bonded together with plant-derived polymers. These plugs are manufactured using a scientifically controlled process that yields large populations of beneficial microbes in the media. We started using them to clone in about 3 years ago and when I tried starting seeds in them I knew I would never do it any other way.

    I flip the cone shaped rooting plugs upside down so the have more stability. They are made to fit into sectional treys but that just added cost and you will see I try and keep things simple and low frills. Wash hands well with a disinfecting soap, this will remove any oils or contaminants. Make a small hole with a poker and place the seed point side up into the plug about ½” into the rooter.
