Turning a shoddy shed into a groovy ganja growroom

[Bud Wiser UK]

Would you mind sharing a joint instead? I am thinking honey oil with Fruity Chronic Juice Bud and Think Fast Bubble hash is in order!!

Oooooh, for that dude, I'd fucking push your car through a metre of snow ... you just relax and enjoy the scenery!
Now, where did I put me crampons? ...

I love a good shed.

Nice room mate, really hope the grow goes well with all the hard work you've put in, will follow the grow when you start proper, be interesting to see how the grow goes. Hopefully not to much snow your end this Christmas.

Good luck.

Thanks @baj ... appreciated.
We don't seem to get much snow over here in the UK these days, not south of Scotland anyway.
I miss it .. snowball fights are an important part of parent-child relationships. They need to find out who's boss from time to time..!

Jesus the Lord Christu!

You know it's going to be a good day when you wake up at half six on a sunday morning and (for want of a better thing to do) have a look at the old AFN and stumble across this thread. Just incredible. I've devoured it like a box of half price krispy kremes or the lady with the golden globes off Modern Family. fuck it - both of them. at the same time.

Bud, I can only take my hat off to you. what industry and vision all in the service of that lovely green plant that we so love. Mate, I wish you every success and am going to sub up on all of your stuff. brilliant, brilliant work and so very funny and entertaining.

keep it up govenor.

cheers, KP

@knocker powell ... thank you so, so much for those lovely words dude, you've just made my Xmas. No, seriously, comments like that make the posts all worthwhile.

I'm shitting myself by the way .. documenting something 'live' that has the potential to fail spectacularly can be daunting. First run anyway.
And I've managed to cut my visits to the shed down to every four hours now ... with therapy..!

@Bud Wiser

i tell you how good that thread is - i showed it to my missus before and she got right on it! - all 17 pages of it. mate, it's genuinely fucking great. the work you've put into it is incredible and i hope it's a massive success for you. keep up the good work buddy.

@knocker powell .. dude, jump on it.
If the missus is on the case, then order some timber and I'll be right round quick-like.
Before she changes her mind. They do that y'know.
I have power-tool withdrawl symptoms ...

Part two, the window.

Ok, that's the roof sorted. Now onto the rest of it, starting with the sorry-looking piece of glass pretending to be a window and all the rotten wood below it. I wanted an 'opening' window, you never know when you might need one, especially outside in a shed .. to be 'blacked-out' and sealed off of course, but I like leaving my options open. I found an old window frame complete with glass in a dump and rescued it .. one man's floor is another man's ceiling! A bit of TLC and a lick of paint and as good as new:

Then I replaced all the rotten panelling below the window with left-over USB board.

The other thing I need to mention at this point is that I intend to use CO2 enrichment at some stage in the future, so my window needs to be air-tight. And I wanted to be able to get to the window in a case of emergency, so this was the solution:

I've spent too much time in caravans, haven't I?
Still, a nice handy trimming table in the summer.

The view from the outside, just looks like a 'shuttered' window, methinks:

Like I said, using CO2 in the future means making sure all the gaps are sealed, including the roof bits .. of which I made a bit of a mess:

I used a cheap decorator's flexible filler to seal all the thin gaps around the window, a much more messy foam filler for the larger ones!

Adding draft excluder around the window frame to seal it up completely:

So, that's the roof and the window done ... it's a 12ft x 6ft shed, so now I'm going to divide her into 2 rooms, both 6ft x 6ft x 6ft in size.
One used as a main growing room (or flower room as the photo-heads will have it!) and the other for 'prep' and storage.

Next up, part three .. the partition.

What's a caravan?

Ha ha @dankstyle J .. it's a mobile 'home' you tow behind a car.
Not quite as big as a 'trailer' ..
Usually about the size of one of your toilets. On wheels.
