This grow room is a lesson in ingenuity. The only theme: use what you have.
I have a 13.5x6.5x7 storage space that I have repurposed. It has electricity and A/C. I used old dog crates that I had on hand and fashioned them into planters. Drilled holes, a layer of sticks and then plywood, followed by garden soil. I already had some reflective insulation from another project and big box of door curtains from a New Year’s Eve party. It’s extremely festive up in here. It may not be necessary, but it sure is fun.
The soil is garden variety but I use Mico Life and worm castings too. I did buy two Szhlux lights.
I’ve always bought clones and grown them outside so growing inside is all new to me. I welcome any and all feedback. This is my first attempt growing inside.
Day One done.

@CapnCannabis would you take a look and see what you think? My motto, which I learned from my Depression Era grandpa, is never to buy anything except land.

Its looking pretty good from what i see.You got one up on me with that air conditioner that thing will be worth its weight in gold to keep the temps down and controlling humidity .I have to vent my garage at key points of the day to litigate heat temps.Control of your temps and humidity is vital.

@CapnCannabis 94% humidity is considered a low day here in Houston. The big worry is actually mold. But I will pick up a thermostat with a humidity gauge too. What should it be in the grow room? p.s. dudette, not dude. I feel like I snuck into the old boys club.

Found your thread! Space looks really awesome, you’re gonna do some great things in there I’m sure. While they are not in use inside bags/jars, I stick a bunch of those cheap hygrometers around my lung room just to be able to peek at see where we’re at humidity and temp wise.

That AC will knock down the humidity quite a bit.You want to keep it under 50% in flower. veg is a little more lenient and likes a little humidity but no too much

Day 2 Indoor
Finally got the girls inside. Fiddled around with the lights and had a death match with a Sureshot Pro. I was victorious! Zero confidence in my ability to work those lights.
pH at 6ish. Temp 75. The thermometer with humidity indicator should be here tomorrow. High today 84.
