Hey guys, just wanted to ask as I'm nearing the end of my grid set up. Or getting it done rather, what kind of flooring can I use for the ground? I have a huge air tight into the earth weather port 16x20 unit. But the floor is all earth/dirt. I've already level landscaped and weed whack did the whole shebang, and the walls are entirely airtight into the dirt and I will take other precautions of using caulking and or spray foam something of that nature . However I need some kind of flooring that I can put on the ground to where it will keep it somewhat insulated in yet keep the plants off of the cold ground. I from their plan on putting down the slabs or cutting of this flooring down and then putting the sheet of panda film over the top of it from there securing down with Staples and spray foam around the crevices and cracks that are needed. Does anyone know of anything like this that I can use what exactly am I looking for here as I have no idea.. Like is there such thing as insulated floor panels or sheets that I can use for flooring ? Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

How about just skids, then throw a sheet of thin plywood on top, the air gap will give you some insulation and it's cheap/easy to do?

you could use greenhouse floor fabrics, you can add several layers of different types, and get the effect that you want

Skids, bottom layer thin ply, insulation board - celotex etc, then plywood sheets on top.
That's how I done it.
Or keep old polystyrene packaging and place containers on top of it.

I've even grown in winter with no heat at lights out with pots lined on inside with 1-mm thick polystyrene roll. And wrapped around outside.
Ahhh... those were they days! Lol20161215_164857.jpg

That's the insulation
