How do I build a grow room in my house?2021 Update

Find space

Planning your planting room involves more than just where you want the plants to be placed. You need to consider several factors

Consider building a planting room near the water source. Take the sink as an example, so you don't have to bring a bucket to water the plants.Installing lights, fans, and possibly heaters or humidifiers requires nearby sockets and power strips.

Size Of The Space

Many successful grow rooms have started in a small space like a closet. In fact I recently reviewed the best small grow tents and there’s a few strong mini tents candidates.As long as you have space to work around the plants, the exact size doesn’t matter. For most hobby or novice growers, anything bigger than a 2x2x4 space should be adequate.You want enough space for not only your plants in the grow room, but also the equipment needed to create the right environment for proper growth.

Humidity

Plants need the right climate for proper development, including moisture.If the space where you build your grow room is too humid, the plants can develop different kind fungi on the leaves and buds.

Temperature

Not only do plants need the right humidity but they also need the right temperature.If your grow room is in a closet or cupboard in your house, regulating your temperature shouldn’t be an issue.

Ventilation

Without proper airflow, CO2 is depleted, and humidity fluctuates too much, both of which can harm your plants.Later you’re going to create a way for air to flow inside your grow room. Moving stale air out of the room with inline duct fans, to create a continuous airflow for your plants to thrive.

Discretion and Safety

Be sure to place your grow room in an area where no one can get to it without your knowledge. And make sure is not accessible to pets or animals. Especially when plants are young, if something messes with them enough it can bring plenty of growth problems.

Airflow In Your Grow Room

The simplest way to move air within your grow room is to install portable fans, intake fans, and exhaust fans.I have a very in-depth guide about grow tent ventilation. Covering everything from various venting and exhaust systems for different accessories, to how to calculate CFM for exhaust fans.Here’s three of the most common exhaust systems that you’ll find.The basics are pretty simple. You install the intake at the bottom of the room, and the exhaust fan at the opposite side of the room near the top. Then you can add a CO2 filter and other accessories.You can also hang an oscillating fan or place it on the floor to make sure the air distributes well and your plants can thrive.

The combination in-line fan and carbon filter is your best choice.

What Grow Light To Choose
If your grow room is in a closet or cabinet, you want to choose a light that can be closer and that runs cooler like CFL or LED without extra ventilation.But, if you have a larger space HID lights are good as they are very growth efficient. HID lights are also better suited to a garage grow room, especially in colder climates.I have a very extensive guide on choosing a grow light that might interest you.The led grow lights for indoor plants size of your DIY grow room, your initial budget, long term costs, and the surrounding climate will determine what type of light will be most suitable for you.
