Right then, here we go, the final groovy-shed post..!
Remember back in the summer I said I'd have all this up and running before Xmas?
Well, I'm 3 weeks ahead of schedule ... boooyaaa baby.
The growroom's now completely finished, and the vegging chamber's up and running:
Different potting mixes, I can afford to have some fun right now!
Control-freaks' Corner:
Dryers' Corner:
I'll be building some drying racks in this space no doubt soon..!
The doorway presented a problem, as-in when it was open, cultivation activities were obvious, so some old bedlinen came in handy ... yeah, I know, I actually had that adorning my bedroom back in the seventies, or eighties .. no accounting for taste. Should scare burglars off a treat tho' lol ... and I name this shed 'Ferreira' after the fuck-off port
(drink, not shipping stop-over) of the same name!
And in the main growroom, I've now got the most expensive LED Xmas-lights in The Midlands:
Decided to stick some white mylar up, needed some for the partition wall anyway, so I didn't want to wait for heat-spots half way into a grow and then have to fuck about with a staple gun. Job done. The air-intake ducting on the left of the photo blows the air down to floor-level and allows the Biogreen heater to warm-up (if needed) and circulate that air (having a sensitive thermostat with a 0.5 deg C tolerance).
I've used a four-inch intake fan with a performance of around 220 Cu.Mtrs/Hr on high setting .. the six-inch exhaust fan does 450 Cu.Mtrs/Hr on low setting .. the growspace is 6 Cu.Mtrs ... that means it takes less than a minute to empty the space, and less than 2 to fill it. I now have to do some more maths and juggle the optimum ventilation rhythm for the room, heat and humidity further complicated by the presence of my dehumidifier ..
One problem that I had to overcome was water .. as-in drainage. Regular plant watering wasn't too much of an issue, but I got to thinking about 'the flush' .. I don't want to carry full-grown plants outside in the middle of Winter to flush them, that's if I could even get them out of the doorway, so I needed another solution. The other thing I had to consider was the introduction of CO2 sometime in the future, so this is what I came up with:
Works a treat. So does the 'inverted' roofing felt .. I'm feeling rather smug today!
Who'd think all that lot's hidden behind this old garden shed, eh?
I'm gonna start a new thread for the grow ... not quite sure where to stick it tho'? Indoors / Outdoors?
Anyway, it's been quite a carpentry journey, and I'm sort-of sorry it's over ... I'm gonna start making coffee-tables next summer, just for fun!
There we have it, one groovy ganja growroom built from a shoddy shed in under four months, and for under $2,000 bucks too! And that's
everything.
Piece of cake ..!!!!
