The bad:
The good:
There is no doubt I could turn it into a great space, but would I just be fighting mold problems for ever? I'm not sure it wouldn't be better just to put up a smaller greenhouse kit for less money and better long term success. Right now I grow in a 4x4 tent, so even using just one stall seems huge to me! I like both hydro and soil. I'm mostly worried that my hydro reservoirs would produce more root rot than bud.
Zone 8B. I live in near Seattle, WA, so a legal state - I don't have to be paranoid about discretion, but the barn is near a bridle path, so unless I want everybody going by to know, I can't ignore this either.
And I'm a tinkerer. I'm not growing for volume or quality: better bud than I can grow for much less money is a mile away. I like to do things like grow one strain 4 different ways. Or play with what ever weird snake oil is sweeping the internet. I want to play with developing my own strain, maybe, someday. My biggest motivations for moving would be more room for my experiments and getting the fan noise out of my house.
Thank you in advance for your advice. I'm especially interested in things that I don't know that I should be worried about. My plan right now is just to set up a spacebucket or the tent in one of the stalls and see how that goes, but forewarned ....

- It reeks of mildew and mold, especially the hay room. (Which still has decade old hay in i).
- It needed a new roof a decade ago. Lots of rotten wood to replace.
The good:
- Plenty of space: (2 9x9 stalls, 1 4x5 equipment room, 1 9 x 12 hay room)
- Electricity and water
- Great bones: thick concrete slab, 20 foot high peaked roof.
- Wouldn't need permitting.
