Creating a grow room & have some ?'s for you all!

Hello all. I have some fairly extensive growing knowledge from the past and it's been a while since I grew but I'm looking to get back into it now and have a few grow room questions. I purchased some panda poly grow film and would like to create a grow room that will be about 7x7x6. I plan to place one inline fan at the bottom left for FAE and one fan on the top right for exhaust. I'm not worried about smell so I plan to use panty hose most likely to filter out spores and dust. Contamination was one thing I had issues with in the past and I'd like to lower it's chances by creating a legit grow room and work space. What I also wanted to do was create a small inner room which you would enter first and step into a dwcontamonating mat. Of course I do plan to wear a full body clean suit with booties, but only because I have access to them for free so why not. But in this room would also be one smaller fan, or just a hike with a filter and on the top would be another fan for exhaust. I'd like to use this room to keep the inner room cleaner. So when you step up to the tent, unzip the first door, enter, spray down and santize feet, press a button to turn on the fan/s briefly, and then unzip the main room door and enter to the grow room.
So my question is, is this second inner room overkill? I mean let's say I have the money and time a available, would it at all be worth it?
Another question. In regards to the filters for the two fans in the main room, would a horti-control dust shroom be a good idea? I see that it does not reduce the fans power, and filters dust and mold spores which are more of a worry for me than smell. Or would pantyhose work just fine? That is all, I appreciate any and all feedback gents.
Oh and how about some jars from my last grow in 2013! Ready to unleash some plague upon this earth if I open them

Whoww!! Do you think it could still be viable for agar cloning?? 4 years is looooonnngggg
...on a zoomed look I realised the question is silly. The thing seems really roten.
I dont have a lot of experience with grow rooms..do what I have to do on very small scale and the clean work is done in still air box with storage inside plastic boxes vented through filter.
I have very low contamination level WHEN I´m tidy. Use recently ironed clothes for agar...
so your grow rooms sounds very clean to me. I would invest some time to design the most convenient grow-box/still air, as I find the best security against contam.

I would put some water in the jar to see if it awakens LOL. All the large grow rooms I have seen on youtube there wern't many precautions. Seems a little overkill. Im thinking this will be in your bacement? Maybe if you can build it over a drain. You can bleach and hose the room down occationally. I doubt pantyhose will do much, keep out the bugs.

Yeah, what type of room are you putting this "work space" in? I used to always use plastic but, as pointed out by RR, it is a bit more trouble than it's worth. I think you can get by with clean walls and tile flooring.

I just bought myself two inline fans and I thought I could find the ducting in store but I'm having trouble. They only sell dryer ducting in 4-inch diameter and I'm not sure which type I need either way. I have a 6 inch and 1/8 inch fan. What do you guys recommend?

So I decided to go without the ducting. I just mounted the fans flush with the plastic and taped the plastic to the fan. I also added two horti culture dust shroom filters in hopes of keeping out some contams. The speed controllers I also purchased were a good investment. I plan to put a small table inside to work from right below the exhaust fan and maybe ill rig some sort of flow hood to it temporary when I do my inoculation and LC Teks. I have here photos of my room and the 8" activ air exhaust fan mounted already. Next step is the 6" intake fan and then the lights. I just received my rye grains today as well. Amazon had a pretty good deal at less than $1 per pound.

Any opinions on a grow room temp of 68F and humidity at 55%? From what i know, between 65-70s is good, just not above 80f right? Just finished setting up my room today. I also added a few more lights and placed a small table inside to work on. Didn't take a pic of those yet.

My house is like 30% in winter. A sgfc operates at 50-80% and fluctuates Cubes fruit in huge open fields with short grass in direct sun with humidity in the 40-60 range.
