Grow room

I've grown decades ago outside but never under lights. I am making a 2x4x6 room. Should I put an intake fan at the bottom as well as an exhaust at the top? Thanks in advance and any other tips will be greatly appreciated
 
You can't build one for the price and efficiently of models on the market. Spend your time researching in the forums on this website take their ideas and meld them into yours. There is a wealth of information here and be sure to thank them.
 
Have little experience building tents or small rooms but to my understanding only the exhaust fan will be enough. A passive air intake will let enough air thru maintaining a negative air pressure. If you are using hid, lec or mh remember to put the fan blowing thru the air fixture and not sucking from it. This way any leaks will let clean air into the room and not suck smelly air outside
 
I agree with Neil71​. It is almost impossible to build a room for what a tent will cost. If you do so, put the air intake on the opposite end of the tent from the exhaust for better flow
 
I built a room sometime ago. About 70ft² and 7'6" high.
I've mostly changed how I light it, plant layout and drainage. I don't vent the room but have sealed it and run an AC and dehumidifier. This allows for a pretty tight environment although I do get humidity swings but they don't cause any issues if the average is where I need it to be.
Managing heat is normally the tough bit
 
Buy an already designed tent. It has all the necessary design built in for you to outfit it with whatever intake/exhaust fans you need along with vent flaps for added intake air.

My suggestion would be to buy this kit from AC Infinity.

Advance Grow Tent System 2x4, 2-Plant Kit, WiFi-Integrated Controls to Automate Ventilation, Circulation, Full Spectrum LED Grow Light - AC Infinity​

This kit will come with pretty much everything you'll need to get you going. Depending on where you setup the tent you may want to look into picking up one of their humidifiers. I have the T3 model and love it.

i will try to answer what I can but more information is required.

Will be the room be sealed, that is to say it has a ceiling four walls and a door?

Those conditions matter when trying to determine proper veneration.
 
Sounds like your on the right track. If you got a room that is 2'x4'x6' with a door (Locked) your search for a tent is over. Now for some air circulation and exchange and a light and your off. Been growing in closets for two years now. Temperature, humidity and air exchange are key components.
 
Appreciate everything from everyone on here. I have all the materials except for mylar. I'm just gonna build ,try it and see what happens
 
Thanks. Yeah I was going to put the one with the filter going out at the top and the other at the opposite bottom end
 
Thanks for the suggestion. I took your advice for lights and got two of the vs 1500.im pretty good at making things and have most of what i need.Going to start it and check the humidity and if I have to get something to adjust it ,I will
 
Hi and thanks in advance. It will have 4walls , ceiling and floor . Walls will be lined with mylar. Not really sure how tightly it will be sealed though. Probably fairly tightly
 
Appreciate the confidence. I have learned some from this website and people like you. Got a long way to go but am looking forward to learning
 
Keep trucking, this is a lifted place. Plenty of information written down and there for the reading. science is your friend.
 
If the space is already built then, as dirtymike said, you can outfit it with exhaust. I would hold off on the intake fan until you know if the exhaust fan can pull enough air into the space without the assistance of an intake fan.
 
Here is my thinking. I got a dehumidifier in the basement and it keeps the air about 50%. Sounds like that is in the ballpark as where it should be. That's why I was thinking of one fan sucking that air in and one exhaust. Kinda hoping that it will keep the humidity about right. I got a couple of vs 1500 lights, nutrients,ph stuff. Think all I need is some kind of growing medium. Thinking of cocoloco. Am I kinda thinking right about my plan?TIA
 
Your heading in general direction. Educate yourself on sativa and indica and the strain you are planning to cultivate and mimic what environment it will excell in. Choose a easy strain at first. Everything I learned for indoor grow was on GWE website, even the strain for beginners like me.

By the way if you install ventilation to the outdoors make sure it is screened with a fine mesh, ordinary screen material is not suitable as white flies can pass through it, we use standard aluminum screen frames with high count stainless steel mesh which can be found online.
