Hey everyone,

I'm going to soon be converting a room in my basement into an orchid grow op, legal of course :O) haha. Anyway, first some specs just to give everyone the general picture.

Feet:

The room is 19.5 long, by 11 wide and 7 high.

Metres:

The room is 5.94 long, by 3.35 wide and 2.13 high.

Ok, so, the room has two concrete walls and floor, and two unfinished basement walls and ceiling. I would like to have high humidity in this room so what is the best way to achieve this without culturing TONS of bacteria and mould in the wood and drywall?

It terms of lighting, I was planning on installing a single 1000W HPS bulb in the centre of the room and have it on a moving track so that I can maximise light distribution.

In terms of humidity, I plan on buying a high output fogger, I'd love to have between 70-80 percent humidity, will this pose any danger to the bulb or ballast?

Please let me know what you think of this idea and if you have any creative ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Thank you in advance!

Dan
