Want to start a grow in my large shed that has no extraction point!

I don't bother extracting outside the building as its not airtight in the slightest, the input fan sucks from inside the building too, but mine is like a sieve lol
Dam man lol yeh I'm uk NW so pretty grim at the minute but planning to wait until Feb. Mine is 100% airtight but I wouldn't say its got ample gaps. There's slight gaps between the wall and roof. How's the sound for you then? I have a dryer in there thats barely noticeable so dunno if I need to build a silencer for the fan.

This is the shed I'm working with...

Mine is away from any passing neighbours so the noise is minimal.... I have the fan inside the tent which helps with noise

Ah fair enough, behind the right wall is a brick wall and then a garden lol thinking of building a silencer box for the fan anyway.. so you reckon that space is doable then with a tent inside? Just didn't want the babies to suffocate..

I don't mind battling temps, I like the challenge and gives me an excuse to spend time with them!

Any pics of your setup?
 
Thanks for that man, how do you deal with extraction? My biggest worry is not being able to extract outside the building as there's no holes and its not my property to start knocking holes.

The shed itself is more of an outside building/ shipping container looking thing.

I was planning on cramming a 1.2mx1.m tent in there but I guess bigger then, or longer as the building is about 6meter long..

I'm well up for the challenge as I spend far too much time tending to plants Ii was just concerned about the exhausting. I've been told my plants will die trailhead away is I cant exhaust outside.
The gaps along the top that air gets in, if it gets in then it can get out too, extract to one of the gaps and try seal it with expanding foam

Yeh I suppose thanks man, it is literally a small gap though where the roof isn't flush with the walls. I can only tell be branches are sneaking there way in from an outside Bush.

You should get it going in there mate.. I'll take some pics in a bit of my fans, rads and tent for you in a bit mate, I've gotta nip out to it.

Don't have to go out your way mate was just seeing if you had any on hand. Looks like I'll be getting a shopping list together. Cheers for the input man

Get out drill and drill aload of holes and attach your ducting to it, you can fill it in later or cover it up again when your done
