So I am currently growing out my third grow, and have decided that my current 5X4 setup isn't enough... mind you it's only 5'6" tall... so it really does get cramped in there...
The long winter with nothing growing or to tend to was super frustrating... so I am going to invest into a more year round option... A new stand alone grow room... I want something a bit more professional looking and with that feel to it...Something that reflects who I am at heart... Something that suits a Northern Redneck Cannabis Connoisseur... Know what I mean? I should coin that! Start making shirts... hmmmmm....
Many of you know what I mean when I say, practice makes perfect...especially when it comes to growing...
Most (maybe all) of us started the same way... visions of growing monster weed plants and having colas the size of 2L Coke bottles...but we were as green as my little Gypsy Widow I'm growing... Wanna see something funny... Look back at my first grow... the stealth fridge grow... I had two little plants started inside this fridge that I was trying to use... and when I ran my intake exhaust...I put my charcoal canister outside my fridge and tried to blow the smelly pot air out the fridge and through the canister...LOL!! It may have worked but probably not as efficient and pulling the smell through...Oh how silly and such a newb' I was! Thanks though to this great community I've come a long way!
So back to the title of this journal...
The Peeece-ful gardeners laboratory...
I have been throwing this around for awhile and have mentioned it with a few members... @Guy Cavallero @Rider509 @flytier just to name a few... and @Guy Cavallero had the journal idea of building a new grow room which brings us to here...
I'd like to get as much input as possible and build it right the first time...
Sooooo let's get at it shall we?
I have 2 possible options that I'm considering...
Option 1) Expand the current operation, from a 5X4 to a 5X10 and raise the ceiling to 7'6" So a substantial expansion...
Option 2) Build a new 8X10 stand alone grow room... from scratch...
Obviously cost is the biggest factor... although what I save in building materials for option 1, I become a slave to hauling H20 and the thought of digging the electrical trench another 50 feet doesn't sound cool in any respect...
To avoid the whole slave to H20 with option 2, it will be built with the intention of having running water inside the following year...
Decisions, decisions...
So now that I've thrown this out there, here are the visuals to bring this all into perspective...
Option 1: This is the current Shed, that contains my current grow room, and where an expansion would occur... The shed is 10X14 and I would turn the back 5' (10' wide) into a new grow room...
Option 2: This is the first floor plan I have come up with and have already seen a few things of concern... but here's a starting point (the window will be a fake window, tinted plexi-glass framed to look like a window... You know... make it look pretty for the Mrs...)...
The current situation...
This is the current shed (Option 1)
I will be putting a 6' wood privacy fence across the back behind the shed and the empty lot behind me...
And up the fence closer to the house and the back deck... The layout for option 2... Right where the tulips are... There used to be a vegetable garden in there but last year the pup I had like to help dig in the garden...all the time... lol... but that outline in the ground will almost be the complete layout...
So... what do you say?
