 Burnout's Ghetto Greenhouse Build  1

Burnout's Ghetto Greenhouse
Disclaimer: This greenhouse has yet to be tested, it is less than ideal and temporary. Follow at your own risk!
Materials
Painter's plastic
Cool mist humidifier
Small fan
Tacks
Tape (preferably something moisture resistant, I'm using cheap duct tape)
Step 1
Pick a spot you will use, ideally a corner. Roll out your tarp at the width you desire for your back wall, cut, position, and tack. Like so
Step 2
Repeat step 1 for your remaining walls. Make sure there is enough plastic to overlap on the ceiling walls and floors.
  
Step 3
Tape up ALL your seams, this is crucial unless you want to replace your carpet and some drywall.
Step 4
Cut a door, place tape at edges of cuts to reinforce or it will tear.
Step 5
Cut holes at top and bottom to (hopefully) allow adequate FAE.
Step 6
Cut and tape a curtain inside for the door (to reduce humidity loss) and for the outlet (for obvious reasons)
  
Step 7
Throw your fan, humidifier, light and whatever your growing in there(nothing for me atm)
Good luck (wish me luck too)!
Pro's
- Cheap and easy
- Easy to modify
- Availability to be made more efficient through the use of a humidibucket and fans (like Pitchercrab and TravelAgency do)
Con's
- Might not work, or work well
- It's ugly AF
Burnout's Ghetto Greenhouse V2
Pictorial Only
           
This one is going to get tested. I'm pasteurizing straw for oyster buckets right now.
Future Upgrades
- Humidibucket
- Exhaust fan directed out the window
- Zippers or velcro on the door
Upgrade to Version 2
Humidibucket and magnetic tape (for door) added
  
Pond fogger has a max evap rate of 400mL/H and my fan pushes 110 cfm. I'll add the exhaust fan soon.
Exhaust fan was added along with speed controllers. The fogger in my humidibucket isn't enough alone but my cool mist picks up the slack.
Proof of Functionality

Is your operational? Pics?
@Burnout
I´m also building a GH soon so I guess I´ll learn a thing or two from this. I don´t see why it would´t work

Will do! I plan on doing oyster buckets in there, I'm just not sure if it will provide enough fae for something as co2 intolerant as oysters. I bet it would work fine for cubes
Mateah, if you want a better build check these out. It helped with brainstorming and is what I'll eventually do.

Na. I tore it down after i build one in my garage that's more permanent, but that one isn't operational either (cold weather). If i have pics it's in my gallery.

Yea it should work. Might have to do some tweaking along the way as you observe their behavior. I focused more one fae first then humidity second and it worked fine. They grew quite large

I just checked out your model, your most likely going to need more FAE than what is going to allow based of what you got going on. You may need to add some slits on all sides or remove the tape from the door and let the plastic just drape or something like that. Mine had both. Ill fully read what you got going on

I´m planning a greenhouse for Pan Cyan grow and other "more maintenance" species, so imma research as much about this as I can, thanks for the links

I used to construct still air rooms for inoculation in a similar fashion. A lot more space to work with.

Completely forgot that me and my girl are throwing a new years party (we rarely throw parties) when I built this.
At her request I'm taking it down for the party, hopefully I can get it down in tact. If not, it was cheap to throw together and I'll have a better idea of what I'm doing if I have to start from scratch.

Well my cats ripped a big hole in version 1 while it was down so it sadly won't get tested.
I'm brainstorming version 2 and will update the original post with the build once I put it up.
Version 2 will be built in a similar ghetto fashion, but will be far more effective (if it works like I think it will). Sorry for the pointless version 1 build!

It would probably work pretty good as long as you can provide enough fae. I like pitchercrab and travelagency's set ups using a DIY humidibucket and venting outside.
From what TA has told me it's especially important for oysters so you're not just recirculating co2 and dumping spores inside.
I'm trying to figure out a way to provide adequate fae and humidity with what I have until I get the chance to pick up an air stone and pond fogger.
Heat loss is another thing I'm trying limit.
I'll figure something out that will get me by for a minute, but I definitely need to get things set up properly soon.

I'm setting mine up, and I'm thinking an evaporative humidifier on the outside, running a tube from it into the GH might provide FAE, and humidity.

Look into building a humidibucket, it will work out much better, it's the next step for me.

Notes on v.2
If only using a cool mist, it is best to keep the fan off for 10-15 minutes to allow humidity to build up. Especially if the cool mist runs dry for a little while.
Once adequate humidity is achieved (visually, no hygrometer yet) it is easily maintained without restricting much fae with several pieces of tape on the door.
1 cool mist alone is probably not really adequate for humidity considering the height, and requires filling several times a day. I'm building a humidibucket asap and adding an exhaust fan leading outside.

How much heat do you think you'll lose from exhausting outside in the winter?

Probably not much since the air is being forced out, temperature loss is generally from cold air coming in not hot air going out.
Since the greenhouse will be sealed as best as possible at that point the only air going in will be from the humidibucket which will already be cooler than ambient temps and will draw much less air than my current fan.
I'll have to check their cfm but I'll only be using 4" axial fans and if it's too much fae I'll get a speed controller. I'm trying to avoid all the bells and whistles, the point of this is to (hopefully) show people hesitant on building a greenhouse that it can be done without breaking the bank.

Bought a hygrometer today for the greenhouse, and immediately turned around and bought/ordered everything I need to build a humidibucket. With my fan on low I was at 45% humidity (my hygrometer reads out to 99%, at +/-1%), no bueno. 15 minutes after shutting off the fan I've only gotten to 77%. I'm sure it's not as accurate as it claims, I only paid $12 but it's accurate enough to indicate my rh is waaay off.
I can't seal it any better without fae suffering, bummer. Either way, tacking up and taping 3m plastic is cheaper than buying a mini greenhouse. A pvc frame would be more ideal, and better looking, but I just want a functional piece of shit for a couple months until I move. Then I'll have a whole room to play in
