Coming along nicely. Starting to look similar to my shed grow room. Here's some pics of the mess I started with & the end result. Big difference & to my amazement it stayed cold in there even with 2 weeks of 115 F weather.

Jebus Bubbles would be real envious of your shed man!!

i'd say that room is ready for grow dude!! you dont even need a tent

Yeah...temp and humidity are spot on for veg. Tonight I ran water through the buckets and discovered I need to make some adjustments. Tomorrow's goal is to get the irrigation setup complete. Then I'll add some bacteria and drop my seeds in water

those walls are perfect for a grow room. Gives planty of light shine back to the plant well chosen

i'd suggust really spending on a good light. Yours would do, but with that much work into the shed, you deserv to get incradible yield with better lighting

A roll of it was $50 on ebay & was enough to do a 4' x 8' area.

Looks like you're doing great to me. The shiny walls are just 6 ml. diamond mylar that's glued to the walls with Elmer's Glue. Bought a gallon, painted it on with a roller & stuck the mylar to it.
Pretty simple really.

Here's my floor plan for the lab.

I was reading about filters yesterday and it looks like the way I was planning things my charcoal filters aren't going to work. I need to pull air through the filters and that's not gonna work. So, now I'm thinking of putting the filters in boxes so I can push the air through. I don't know how that's gonna effect the flow though :/

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

You can push through the charcoal just prefilter it

I also mapped out all my controllers, sensors and devices. I got my outlet box wired up to the raspberry pi too. Unfortunately, only 5 of the 7 outlets are working...but...I think it's enough to get me going. I've got another 4-way relay if I need to control more outlets.

Well done, this should make it easy to diognose failures in future.

I just found this write up on another open source hydroponics system. Its a really good read and aligns petty much spot on with the direction I'm going here. After I'm up and running I'll circle back here to see how their system compares with the mycodo system I'm currently setting up.

I just watched the video. Except for the downspouts the rest was bangon. also, very well detailed write up with pictures and graphs. I like that

Err...I WAS thinking... Am thinking... Hopefully will get some new lights for bloom.

I think this should just about do it.
