Thanks for the quick response. I can raise the lights to a total of 4.5' from scrog to light. The lights stay about 1.5' above tops, so that's only about 3' of available vertical space, maybe as much as 40". I've grown this strain before, and it stretches pretty long. I know if I raise the...

Hi. Long time outdoor, first time indoor grower here. Beyond happy I made the switch. So much easier than fighting the weather every day. Things have been going ridiculously well, too well in fact. My plants vegged so fast that I wasn't really on top of it and made the rookie error of switching...

Switching to flower tonight. I think I waited too long by a week. Still, holy smokes. This is so much easier than outdoors. Also, loving the shock cord for the scrog. Didn't pull it tight enough, which I will correct for the next crop, but it makes tucking super easy, and I can get pretty rough...

I originally planned a hanging scrog for the same reason, but eventually decided against it for a variety of reasons. The biggest nut we couldn't crack was suspension, but that's a long story. Still, it makes floor space tight, like you say. I get a little algae around the sides of the...

Seriously, why didn't I move indoors sooner? This is so much easier than outdoor growing. Growing a variety with a long stretch, so I will probably switch to flower in a week or 2

Happy to help if you need anything

Happy to answer any questions. I'll post some new pics this week, the gals are growing like crazy in there.

UPDATE Just wanted to post some pics if anyone is still watching. SCROG screen went in today

See my budget post above, GSheet is up. No real big surprises, I think maybe I didn't account for enough of the Misc category, half of which I swear was foam spray ;). I think we went through over a dozen cans of the stuff You've already learned the biggest lesson, since you're researching this...

Budget The final budget can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QbuuPtYVtUClpZ6FvY9Cs9voVGkHS-U7LllusdQUMhU/edit?usp=sharing Without labor ($2k + 4 oz of summer crop), the cost was $5251, which is about 5% over my $5k budget. Much better than I thought, so there it is...

When I say the temporary humidifier was struggling, I meant I'm trying to keep it at 70% but it will only go up to 65% when the A/C is running, so it's not emergency time. I ordered another second cheapo ultrasonic unit off of Amazon which I will likely return once the Vornado comes back. God...

Thanks, feels good to be done and growing. The baby girls are looking healthy. We're having unusually dry weather right now (down to 15-25% RH midday), and my expensive Vornado humidifier crapped out after 5 days on the job. While I'm waiting for the warranty replacement, I have a smaller unit...

Already started! Seedlings are on their second set of leaves.

Done, Part 3 Continued from previous posts Temp Central: AC/Heat. Note the insulated exhaust duct for the AC, and the strap keeping the AC tight to the wall. The panel heater and circulation fan are under the AC. Humidity Central: The Vornado Evap40 died already, so I have a smaller unit...

Done, Part 2 Continued from previous post I chose a coiled power cord for the lighting rig so it would go up easier. Instrument central: controllers and power. See photos for details The temp and humidity controllers have sensors with long wires which I have strung under the lights so I...

Done, Part 1 So the shed is now complete and end of last week I started germinating. Sprouts are sprouting, and all looks good for the moment. So, a look at some of the details now that it is all tricked out First the shed from the outside. A couple of new things to note here. The shade...

Hi. Intermediate-level grower here, but brand new to indoors. I just built out a 7x7 shed into a grow room, you can see the full details here https://www.rollitup.org/t/build-journal-turning-a-7x7-shed-into-a-grow-room.922754/ TL;DR: I have a 3x3 tray in a tray stand over a 20-gal reservoir...

Completion We are very near complete, just some pump issues to work out this afternoon. Sorry for the irregular posts, I've been jamming hard sunrise to sunset to finish this up. Later in the week when I've had more sleep I will detail the final steps and go over the finished room details as...

Getting Close We're getting really close. I will be finishing up the interior this weekend and the canopy will be finished on Monday. Here's the interior of the shed now. That's the scrog screen frame in the middle, which is the largest item that sits on the floor. To the left is the...

White Like, seriously, white. As you can see, we ran out of Orca film for the whole ceiling. We wound up using spray adhesive. I'm still tasting it. Still have to tape up the seams a little. Tomorrow shelving and then we start working on the canopy
