Need help with doing a whole room for fruiting

My friend is gong to start growing ed's for the farmers markets. He needs a idea of how to make a full room into a fruiting chamber. He is thinking like Martha idea just whole room. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Tarps screwed to walls and ceiling. Seams sealed with duct or gorilla tape.
small ceramic heater with thermostat. probably 2 coolmists, un-altered. windows covered with blankets before tarps go up.
shelving. As much as possible. make the closet the incubating room, or have that elsewhere.
4' fluorescent plant and aquarium bulbs on a 14 on 10 off cycle.
The floor has to not be carpet. Vinyl is preferred.
Some starting suggestions...

you would have to seal the whole room with plastic install some GFI circuits in the rooms to run humidifiers on a RH stat. Then a blower with a hepa for fresh air exchange

Ok so what will happen to the wall outlets. Can they handle the RH. Also what is it called that can turn the humids for when the RH hits the right setting?

you want a Rhstat or humidistat. You will want to change the outlets on the wall to GFI outlets it's easy to do you just have to make sure you have a ground wire at your existing outlet that is wired back to your panel.

Ok what should i do with the carpet? should i tarp the bottom so the carpet is not a issue. Also for the FAE should i just use the AC that will be blowing in. I will have a filter over the ac air coming out.

a/c can be nasty, make it a good filter.
carpet is very bad. Rip it up and put down a new floor if you really want to do this.

The idea that the members are trying to convey, I think, is that you'd pretty much have to make a room within a room in a sense. You'd have to place some type of waterproof tarp over every inch of wall and then place one on the ceiling with the edges UNDER the lip of the wall tarp so that moisture dripping off the ceiling wouldn't go behind the wall tarp.
I don't know if you use a shower curtain in your shower at home but it would be the same principle. In a shower you'd want the plastic inside the lip of the shower. If it's outside your floor gets all wet.
Make sense?
Another option would be to make a huge-as-f*ck room within the room with PVC piping and then skin it with plastic, tarp, whatever will keep in moisture. It would be (relatively) cheap and you wouldn't worry about moisture (and therefore rot) getting under the paint/wallpaper, etc. And you could just run power cords as needed.
This is all theory. I have no experience with doing this, I'm just brainstorming.

Why would you go through all the work of ripping the room apart. Just put a large plastic walk in green house into the room. It will be way easier to replace the room back to it's original state.
You really don't need to do an entire room. Do you realize how much work it would be to pasteurize enough manure for a room that size and to do the harvesting and drying? Look at hippie chicks green house yields. You could put a few of those into a room if you wanted to get crazy.

yeah, turning an entire room into a fruiting chamber is just ASKING for germs to take over everything. You would be a fool not to have everything separated. Get a bunch of marthas or something similar. Increase the amount of small growing areas, not the size of 1 growing area.

Something like this?

I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

dudefromaz these are pics of a colleagues grow who is also a friend and mentor and without question knows his shit to an art, enough said. Setup was fairly cheap considering the yeilds it was a drop in the bucket bro.
BTW there was a grow that made this one look like a pinset on verm but no pics are allowed.
