question about mold

i forget my name Registered on Mar-25-2008 More User Info Message #41334 posted by i forget my name (Info) March 25, 2008 02:11:27 ET hi I'm new here long time reader first time poster My question is whats appropriate on the walls of your grow room. my problem is i just started a little closet grow, now the room i've chosen is semi unfinished i just wonder if i should finish with a cement board or just drywall . . . .can i apply a linoleum sheet over top the drywall as if to make it water tight so i won't have a mold problem as long as i keep the linoleum clean. . . .i figure it would also be easier to clean... Any feedback would be good i'm working on getting pictures up so I hope to be able to keep you updated
