Can you make a tent in there, if so your all set. Of course gotta keep the temps in check, but the tent should cover most of the other issues.Me too... I was gonna buy a house but I think I might actually move back in with my parents for a year to save money to buy a house. If I move back home I'll have more money to spend on lights and upgrades
My parents have a horse farm, and on the large property there's an apartment that I could fix up for a few grand and live there easily.
My dad told me I could grow in the 7stall barn, I just need to clean it out and outfit it.
I would have at least two 14'x14' stalls with my own dedicated circuits. In the main building they've got 32x 1000w HPS lights, with a couple metal halide thrown in there. I'm sure my dad has got multiple extra ballasts, bulbs, and reflectors in 600w and 1000w sizes.
My concerns are:
1) the stalls are filthy. I'd power wash and bleach the area down, but dirt floors and open barn buildings make for a hard to keep clean area.
2) ventilation. I'm probably gonna have to rig up something where I can use multiple car air filters to filter incoming air. This is a barn. It's dusty inside and I feel it'll only get worse once I start moving air.
3) environment. This is an open concept building. They're meant to house live animals so air exchange absolutely occurs between inside and outside. So when its raining it will be humid in there, and if its cold out it will be cold in there.
Its pretty daunting to be able to start from scratch but also very liberating.
I barely even know where to start.
What do you think doc?
What are you changing about your new setup in Oregon? More space? More lights? Another octagon?
