I bought some fiberglass screen door replacement material to line the bottom of the veg tote to keep the roots from going through the holes. Would super glue work to hold it down?

Sorry I Haven't been active for a few days. Closed on the new house, so super busy with the move. Number one priority is get the family settled in the house, as a happy wife equals happy life. Sneak peek of the second garage out back, that will be for the growing. Admittedly, will be a little while before I can start that process.

Thanks for the compliments bro....BUT id consider my setup more "ghetto fab." than "sick" lol. Im just 2 wks into flower on this one...BC blueberry and some other mystery bcbd indoor strain. I have a handful of bc blueberry x mystery girls going...I crossed one of BCbb with the mystery plant and started 4 of the seeds...surprisingly they all turned out to be girls too.
Ill post some pics of my equipment....not impressive but illustrates how with some research and a little ingenuity ANYONE can start to grow for very little $$$$ because of threads like this.....AWESOME
I like to try new things on a small....inexpensive scale to test their plausibility before I ramp it up.
Keep sharing your knowledge and exuberance about the good herb and light one for me pls.

Love the gambrel roof on the new growspace...seems appropriate for an herb production facility In a barn eh?

@Hawzzy exactly. When we were house hunting, a space was high on priority. Saw that back garage (which I call barn) and was ecstatic. It has the look of a true barn, but won't breathe & have drafts like one. I can't wait to outfit it for all my growing needs. Hardest part will be putting up some walls, 1 to block out the actual front garage door, then another to divide off the flower room upstairs. Otherwise it's just lots of wiring, plumbing, insulating, and making it everything I want it to be. Before I even transfer the garden to it. Heh.

I would avoid putting a screen in the bottom. I tried it in the past and the roots will just grow through it and make them impossible to remove them from the veg unit without serious damage to the res.Just drill holes and lift your plants up out of the unit all the way every few days and that will keep the roots out of the res good enough. Also try not to use superglue anywhere that your nute solution will touch cause it may leach chemicals into your solution that you don't want in there.

It's sad that sometimes we have to put growing on pause, so that we can setup the facility we want. I've got 1 vegging plant that is not happy to be waiting. She is sooo Fucking bushy, wide x tall. Thinking how I can flower that 1 girl without firing up the 1k. If it was 30 degree warmer at night, I could throw her outside & and let it become a tree. Lol

The 2' 8bulb t5s seem like they barely fit long ways in the apollo tent. Any issues?

How tall do you let the plants get in the veg tent?

As tall as fits your growing style/cycles. Is the true honest answer. An example of a gal let go way too long cause of moving houses. Think I may take her out of the tote and put her in a smart pot with coco mix. Make her a mother plant, for now.

That garage/building looks hilarious. No structures like that out here.

Definitely. And you have nice wide ceiling to mount shit on. I would totally rock it. The shape of it still makes me giggle. Ho down time. I'd make it into a party barn haha

May just end up being some parties in the barn. Well, since I have no friends. It will end up just being me hanging out with the fruits and veggies, smoking the plants growing upstairs. Party! Party!

I'm guessing you gotta really eyeball it to time 80secs on and 8 mins off?
