Whiteboards are really handy for a lot of things, but can be a great place to quickly jot down notes and reminders while working in the grow room. If you need to keep the info, pull out your phone and snap a picture...
Anyhow, here's a post from my blog, I'll copy the whole thing here so you don't need to go look.

Let there be white! (boards)
In a previous post, I talked about how I miss having whiteboards. I would love to fill the walls here at home with them, but instead, I'll make do with this, my newest DIY creation.
It's hard to see the writing because I need new markers for it, these are quite old...
So, are you curious? It's two dollar store foam boards (color is irrelevant) with a piece of light plywood sandwiched between them, all taped together with duct tape. I then cut a piece of Panda Plastic (white on one side, black on the other) like you might already use in your grow space. I got the idea when I remembers back before I create Grow By Wire, I used to used dry erase markers to write on the walls (that were lined with panda plastic) with dates for each plant etc. I found that if you leave the writing on for a log time, it won't wipe off with a paper towel, but just add a little water and it cleans right up. I put the plastic on both sides, so I can just flip it over and I have another white board...
Material List:
2 x Dollar Store Foam Board
Thin plywood roughly same size as foam board
two pieces of panda plastic to fit.
Duct Tape
I had everything already, so mine was free!
