Changing The Room

Recommended Posts

Well as of now I have been using a 10x10 grow tent split in half for veg room and flower room and has been working well. That is until it started getting below freezing. The heater can't keep the whole tent warm. It is in a non insulated garage. So my plan for this weekend is to tear the tent down and build a solid room. My plan is still build the room 10x10 and devide it in half.

I plan on framing it with 2x4x8.

Insulating with r19 in between the studs

The ceiling is going to be the insulation bored

Floor I'm still unsure of.

If anyone has experience in winter time garage growing please chime in. Or any input to make this more cost effective please help.

I will be running 2 600 watt hps for flower and 600 watt mh for veg.

Your still going to need heat.I built mine in my garage this summer. It is a 10×10 split 4x10 and 6x10, but i built it on one end of a 10x28 room I sectioned off in my garage I used 2x4 frame and 1/2 inch osb for walls no insulation yet... I have a gas well heater and it runs 24 hours a day to maintain lights off temps of 65 and lights on temps of 80. I'm sure insulation would help but can't afford it yet. So far so good

I'll still have my heater in there but hoping it will hardly kick on I'm completely sealing the room and full insulation top bottom and walls

I plan on using r19 insulation in between the studs and was going To do foam bored on the ceiling but more i think about it I might just do the r19 to help a little more then the foam board would. Plan on covering the walls with dry wall.

I was thinking of using green board for the walls, others suggested using osb or metal. Not a fan of metal as it is hard to work with, and the room will have wood floor. With a concrete floor, could wash down the wall if used metal.

I thought about osb but the drywall is a little cheaper plus it's white. So imo might be a little better. I could be wrong though.
