I'm leaving....I can't take this nonsense anymore!

Will you partition it off for different stages or use as a lung room with tents? I'm a bit concerned for you regarding your electrical circuitry.. Have you considered your total fully operational current draw or wattage use you will have? By your outline I see the need for 1 20 amp circuit and at least 1, preferably 2, 15 amp circuits run to the breaker box assuming you have the space for minimum 2 new breakers in the box. I'm not trying to be a know it all here PL, If you already know this stuff please forgive me. I've done many home construction projects including electrical that I always made sure was up to code for safety sake. OK? I could tell some horror stories but I won't. Best of luck with it sir. You'll have fun just in getting it all working together!

Sorry for the gloom and doom.

I'm pretty much doing everything solo. Though my honey did give me a hand with the mylar. A few small wrinkles, nothing crazy. It's not perfect but it's perfectly acceptable. I'm a contractor by trade so it's not much different than what I do all day anyway. Honestly I prefer to work alone.

Snicker, snicker, snort ! I told you so, lol ! The good part is after you get wiring and tubing and fans strung around nobody will see anything but brightness except you. Oh wait....it's a grow room, nobody is supposed to see it but you !! Did you enlist help ?

Your grow room will be as big as my living room. Except my ceiling is 9'.

Morning update.
Got about half the mylar up.. What a royal pain in the ass! Lol I used spray on contact cement. Had to cut the sheets down to a manageable size. 6' or so.
Tonight I should just about wrap up the electric. Im running 2 12 amp circuits for plugs and tying into an existing circuit for the room lights.

When I built our grow room I decided to use Panda film. At every seem I used white gorilla tape to seal everything up. With the thought of having to replace it, didn't glue to the wall. Used vinyl strips to hold it down. After turning exhaust fan on first time had to go back and add more because it tried sucking everything off the wall. At least I got it sealed good. Since then have added a intake fan as well, both with adjusters and dialed it in with a little negative air pressure.

Get an exterior door pre hung no trim. You make your rough openings around the door a half inch bigger. After you hang the door use really good minimally expanding foam to fill in. Then trim it out with 4 x 3/4 square stock.

I definitely plant on using a exterior door. I want the room as sealed as possible.

Is there a secret handshake? If not there totally should be!

Great read, thanks. I'll try and dig up the video I watched a few weeks ago. The guy tested different types of materials and how well they reflect light. Flat white paint scored higher than regular smooth mylar but the diamond textured mylar scored the highest over all.

[TOKABIGONE]

Very interesting and surprising information in that article! Hard to believe that flat white paint has more efficacy than mylar. But the article goes on to say that white paint reflects 70 to 75 percent of light while mylar reflects 90 to 98 percent so I'm a bit confused

I've been doing some research on growrooms because of my upcoming build and I bookmarked this article comparing mylar and just painting if you want to check it out

Of course if the drywall is hung then it's a bit late for my first suggestion, lol ! With 2 people for sure. Doing it verticle is a little more difficult but still doable. Start at the top and smooth out as you go down. Try to keep the bottom part from sagging into the wall as you go cu it sticks on contact so you don't want it to touch the wall before your'e ready. I did the 4' x 5' cabinet door this way after it was hung.

[TOKABIGONE]

When I built my cabinet I used 'space blankets' ( 52" x 82" ) because they were cheap on Amazon. I cut the ply to size then sprayed adhesive on and stretched the mylar over them before assembly. Maybe consider doing this on the drywall before cutting to size. Use TWO people to do this and you will get it pretty smooth. I did it by myself with a few wrinkles which doesn't matter in the end. If you already bought rolls of mylar you could still do it by cutting a piece longer than 8' long and then trim cut after the adhesive drys
a few minutes after you stretch. Spray a generous amount on the drywall only. You don't have to spray the mylar, just the drywall, Then just smooth and press with your hands. Can be a little messy so cover things nearby for overspray.. Good Luck !
