Check out my growspace! Input welcome. 3

I decided to get my hobby out of the house. I put this together. It’s one of those kit sheds from Lowes. I’ve began insulating it. I have a heater out there and have been able to keep it at a steady 78F. It’s been working well to colonize mono tubs.
It was a little dark so I added the window, which will also allow me to run an AC in the summer.
What I’m wondering is, what do I have to do to make it suitable for fruiting as well as colonization? Does that window give enough light? I’m thinking of adding a skylight if needed. I can also use the AC as a fan if needed.
Currently, I’m setting my tubs out in the shade (for light and FAE) when the weather is right but I’d like to be able to work exclusively in the shed.

Thats shedtastic!
You don't have to colonize at one temp then fruit at another. The main thing is to maintain a constant same temperature. 70-75°F is good
The window is enough light but fruits will bend towards it is all.

Dope. I didn’t know fruits grew toward light?
There is a 12” by 12” window on the opposite side that might help balance that.

Yeah mine do too. I think at some point RR said something about fruits growing straight up in total darkness and it has been misquoted for like 7-10 years.
Fruits will grow in the direction of light. But it doesn't mean they need light to grow..

Pretty sure they all do, aside from APEs. I think they just grow towards whatever is the current location of the mother ship. Which is apparently moving a lot.

Not sure where you live, but this would get hot as fuck on a sunny day where I live even when it's not that warm outside. If you're installing an AC unit, you should probably use that to warm it up. They're way more efficient than those electrical heaters.

It's shaded by a giant white oak on the east side and 20 feet of bamboo on the west side. It WOULD get hot in the summer, but the window unit is rated for 150 square feet and the shed is only 64 sq ft. Plus I put some rigid foam insulation in.
Not sure what you mean about using the AC as heat, but the oil space heater didn't much impact my April electric bill. I figure it'll impact May even less so.

If you can keep good temps, you should have a nice little shroom shack
