Hello to all. My question is I want to grow in my shed. roughly 20ft long, 8 ft wide and 6ft tall. It has been insulated, sheet rocked and has electrical power with closing door. My setup would be 400 hps, foxfarm happyfrog soil,botainical nutes. i have a king kush and trainwreck fem seeds. I just want to grow enough for me. After reading that some people stay away from sheds I am worried that my setup and plan is not sound. This shed is ideal it isn't just for my weed i also have some of my yard tools and storage in the front part the back end has shelves and a work counter put in by the previous owner who used it as his hobby shop for rc cars I guess. left mounted fan for me and lots of high foilage trees during spring and summer so that you cannot see the entrance from my neighbors view I have 7 ft fence except on one side. And she is putting in 10 ft privacy shrubs along te fence line. my only neighbor worry is the one directly behind me. Lights on during late night always has blinds 1/4 raised and just odd old couple. So what do you guys think. I have the grow light and just brought out the mini ac for summer heat plus and stand alone hepa/charcoal filter from the house. I haven't grown since i was a kid and advice is welcome. I need to be discrete but i want them to see the lights to think I am just growing herbs and tomatoes wich is all that is under the lights right now. I think if I don't act suspicious i can sneak the plants into the mix and once it warms up and the herbs and tomatoes take off they can be moved outside. This is truly not just for the weed i wanted to get a jump on some good herbs and vegi's also. Well I hope this makes sense.

Right on man! That sounds like an ideal setup. I would get some inline duct fans from home depot for intake and exhaust. You could always frame out a box inside the shed to make it a little stealthier. There are lots of different things you could do with that space. Use you imagination and read everything you can on this site. Don't hesitate to ask lots of questions. Good luck. Nice strains btw. Peace
Thanks for the advice I have a home security system, lots of weapons and flood lights. I am more worried about smell and those weird neighbors. I did two bagseed one turned male and I got paranoid when cops came to a domestic call on neighbors and got rid of the other one. This is the typical upper middle class neighborhood where the neighbors give me vegi's from their gardens so I Think that seeing me with garden stuff will not arouse any suspicions. Advice welcomed.
I was thinking of that. here are some pics hopefully of what I am working with. Tear it up with advice. I am thinking of getting panda film to make a divide and I need to get the smell thing figured out asap cause i just started germing two plants today. Sorry everything is so messy I need to clean it up.

Sorry about the size of the pics. Those trees in the picture grow 6-7 ft during the summer bitches to trim but make wonderfull cover I have them in the front of my fence also next to the back of the shed. I didn't want to put mylar everywhere cause when i open the door it would look like the sun coming out. Also the table that the plants currently sit on will be unscrewed and used for a platform when the plants start stretching during flowering. It is still in rough stages right now need some experienced advice on how to make this go well.
Yes I am thinking of hanging panda film so that it blocks the light when I open the door. I need to get the smell thing figured out, I am apprehensive about these filter systems knowing my luck I will screw it up. I am thinking that since I only will have two plants that some of that smell neutralizer might be a better alternative and then I want to go over the drywall with flat white paint. I also like the idea of venting it through the floor so that the heat exchange works in my favor by keeping the floor warmer. how much does trainwreck and kings kush smell while flowering??

holy shit that is money! Awesome job well thought out. For me I am looking a little smaller hobby size I guess. But there is some great ideas and I am going to bookmark it for future reference.
smell shouldnt be a problem if you have the right size carbon filter for the job

Carbon filter plus ozone generator combine might do the trick if your really worried about smell,http://www.sea-of-green.com/titan-ozone-generator.html

When you open the door everything is in plain view. I would definately frame out a small area and sheath it with some kind of paneling. Plywood, sheetrock, beadboard, loam, something. Anything so that if for some reason anyone got a glimpse behind your door all they see is gardening tools etc.. You said you're only doing 2 plants at a time right? If you lived near me I'd build it for ya.

well i am doing something very simular growing in a shed in the back but definately build a sealed grow box inside the shed either with 2x4 and panda film or buy a premade system like this one

this the largest definately cheaper to build one but yea get a carbon filter and then a ozone generator outside of the grow box but inside the shed and make sure u have fans for ventiation good luck

I am definately going to put up panda film and also I dismantled the table so that now i can either move the lights or the table piece to desired height. Now all my electrical outlets quit working tested no juice sucks have to run a cord inside cause outside outlet not working and tried all the breakers. When it rains it pours i guess.
