    Build Journal: Turning a 7'x7' Shed Into a Grow Room

    Solid Foundation Today we got in the foundation and ran electric under the house to the site. We have 2x 20A breakers that will go to both an exterior GFIs and also regular grounded outlets inside the shed. We will do the rest once the shed is in. In the first photo, you can see the almost...

    Sinking The Pier Blocks Today we got in the pier blocks that will support the wood-frame foundation. First we dug holes at the corners and tamped them down really good. As you can see in the first photo, we topped the bottom of the holes with some sand so we could get the floor of the...

    I think we'll try the Orca with the air gap. Thanks, that was super helpful.

    When I tried the NL5xHaze outdoors, conditions were definitely suboptimal for it, which is why I moved to other strains. Even so, it's still one of the best things I've grown, damn that was a good crop. I will take all your recommendations to heart for sure Me and my guys were going over the...

    Prepping The Site Today we got most of the site prep done. A lot of cleaning up, as my outdoor crop was finished harvesting over the weekend, and it was still a mess back there. We graded the area to 2%. We are near the bottom of a big hill, so we had to go with the natural grade a bit which...

    I was planning on letting half the scrog screen fill up and then flip to flower and let it fill up. Sound good? Super helpful thread, thanks. How do you like the panda film? We were just discussing how to treat the walls not 20 min ago.

    LOL. Two peoples separated by a common language ;) So I guess I should expect roughly a doubling of growth after the switch to flower?

    I've grown that strain outdoors before, so I didn't really worry too much about the stretch, just let it go (they were 6' monsters). It's my fave strain, but very difficult outdoors here in So Cal, so I gave up on it. What do you mean by "They don't half stretch"? Do you mean they don't stretch...

    Thanks for the input. I actually have a smaller Suncast shed I use for storage made from the same materials. I put my temp/RH data logger in there, and what I found is that when there's no direct sun, the shed stays pretty cool. When the sun hits, however, temps soar. That's why we're also...

    Day One and We’re Two Days Behind So frustrating, but all we got done today was a materials run, and I lost my help for tomorrow. So we have to pick back up Weds. I'll use tomorrow to get all the hydro stuff here and go looking for EPS insulation We got all our materials for electric and the...

    Sorry, I should have been clearer on the shed. It's a double-walled plastic resin shed with steel reinforcement. Suncast has the same model without steel reinforcement which is what I was trying to say. AFA insulation goes, I was planning on 2" of EPS rigid foam everywhere, including under the...

    Hey Rollitup. Like the subject says, I’m building out a shed into a grow room, and since I got such great advice on this forum, I wanted to pay back with a journal of our build which is starting today. The shed is a 7x7 Suncast Sutton shed with 45 sq ft interior floor and a 322 cu ft interior...

    sealed room, air exchange question

    I don't know what type of humidifier you are using, but the evaporative style with the big tubular filters work the best in my experience. This one works great, though it is a little loud on high https://www.essickair.com/ma1201-console.html 12 gallons/day (though you will have to refill...

    sealed room, air exchange question

    I am also in the middle of trying to figure out how to do an air exchange in the grow room I'm building in a 7x7 outdoor shed. My original thought was to use an inline ventilation fan down low with a chimney on top for exhaust and have that going for much of the day. But when I started adding...

    Properly Ventilating a Climate-Controlled Grow Shed

    Thanks for the quick response. I was sort of leaning in that direction to begin with. I'm new to indoor growing so much of this is new to me. Is co2 only for flower? What ppm do you aim for? Are things like ez co2 any good, or should I stick with a canister system if I go that way? thanks.

    Properly Ventilating a Climate-Controlled Grow Shed

    Hi. I'm in the process of building out a 7x7 shed into a grow room. I've decided to fully climate control it, which means insulation, A/C, heater, humidifier, dehumidifier and circulation fan. We intend to seal up all the seams so there's no light or air leakage. Given all this, I'm...
