Nope I won an auction on ebay for a DIY kit, bit on the pricey side, but will be very worth it because I feel a HUGE difference, in just even that room oppose to my house. It was very easy to do, just time consuming

It's a rainy night 87% humidity outside, but my almost completely airtight fruiting and lab is sitting at 78 degrees while outside it's 70 so that's a good sign. Already hitting 73 on the humistat with zero assistance, I was concerned about heating the place in the winter, but it doesn't seem like it will be a huge concern, that foam is paying off quickly, because this shed was very hard to control temperature before so.
Completely got my lab area plastic off with 4mill, looks like a murder room. Got a 6" intake coming from my lab area which has a fresh air exhaust in the roof, with an 8" exhaust in my fruiting area to be installed soon as it arrives. Will have swamp cooler/humidifier with 3 disc foggers, I think I will be able to cool and keep humidity up enough with these two components, and I don't feel like heating will be a huge issue, but we shall see when it starts to get colder around here.

Awesome setup in the works; something similar to that has been my dream for about a year now. I would be constructing mine, however I can't find a feasible solution for winter climate. When I grew my oysters they required A LOT of fresh air as they do not respond well to even slightly elevated co2 concentrations. The temp frequently dips to 0 degrees and heating all of that air would be a tall order.
Your building is clearly maximally insulated, but your duct work will be bypassing that insulation with a significant volume of cold air. How do you plan on dealing with that?

How so? My "duct work"will consist of a 6" flex pipe that will be under the ceiling plastic. I have a large home made humidifier/swamp cooler that will cool

Right, but your fresh air will still be coming from outside, no?. In the winter months that air will be cold. No matter how well insulated your place is you are losing heat and will have to put *some* amount of energy back into the system.

I have trap doors on my exhaust/intake that shut when fans arent in use.

My thoughts too.

I can't envision where your FAE is coming from given these two things. If your space is airtight and you try to exhaust to the outside, your fan is going to create negative pressure with no air flow. Unless I'm interpreting this wrong.

The intake fan runs at the same time as the exhaust which continues positive pressure. The trap door is only on exhaust so when both fans are not running, im not getting air in from my between my exhaust fan blades that exhausts outside. My intake has a fresh air vent from the roof that I will be tapping into.
I just am in a riddle of how I want to split the room for two Shiitake and Oyster strains, and still have good pressure. I could connect my exhaust and add a booster in to both rooms, but would that be an issue of spore mixture? I'll take more pictures later today, plastic all up except the ceilings.

I found something very similar to this in my shed when I First bought my house, and it works exactly for what I need.
