Nice work my friend. You'll succeed in this no problem. I give you 6 months before you're tearing it down to build it bigger and another year after that you'll be looking for a larger space

Pics are working! All this stuff looks great. I like the efficient design of your FC. Are you gonna put insulation around the outside of it?

I really appreciate those kind words! that is definitely the plan, get started, work out the kinks, build customor base, and expand. there are so many 21st type of farming i want to get into especially aquaponics and plant tissue culturing. I hate working 9-5 and if i can help feed people for a living i would be 15 hours a day to do that and be the happiest man alive. just like all of us we want to find the path that makes us happy, and i think i found it.

Thanks! haven't decided yet all the heating methods I've come up with will only hurt the growing process. though my house has natural gas so i was thinking of getting one of those gas heaters for a workshops, that would probably be my best bet.
Something like this:

So I think I came up with an idea to heat the grow room. I have 1000 W baseboard heater That's rated for two hundred and fifty square feet. I roughly calculated the square footage with the foam insulation and it around 80 square feet. So my plan is to build a wall around the grow room out of insulating foam so I don't have to heat the whole basement just the grow room. that offset next to the fogger system its to make room for the baseboard heater with being too close to anything flammable and leave me room to use my workbench. obviously i will cut out wholes for exhaust and fresh air intake.
Let me know what you guys think or how I can improve this.


Dont Mind The Crude Not to scale Drawing






Also does anyone have ideas or links for a substrate mixer and bagging system. i have one designed in my head but if i can find a planed out,with blueprints, proven out one it would save me time.

Will the heater be in the moist humid air environment? If so I don't think that is a good idea. I would build a place to keep the heater out of the humid air and blow the heated air into the grow room. I am sure it is a 240v heater and that could be very dangerous!!

I have bought most of the parts to build a bagger to sell as a kit but I haven't had a chance to put it together maybe we can work on it together and get it to production.

The heater will be in the driest part of the grow room if played right there should be no humidity where it's located. Then I will put a small circulating fan to distribute the heat evenly within the small room then I'm going to build Around The grow room. I would love to work with somebody on a bagggin system already have a few ideas going just let me know.

okay guys i was just fired from my job yesterday.... and i was going to insulate around the grow room with the 2" the 4x8 foam boards, but that will cost 311$ to do. can anyone come up with a cheaper method to insulate around the tent?

Why do you need to insulate it? Looks like you're in a basement or garage. If it was me I wouldn't insulate it and instead of just trying to heat or cool the growroom I'd heat or cool the whole space

Sorry bout your job

yeah it sucks but everything happens for a reason. the reason I'm trying to limit the amount of space, is cost to heat. i have the garage door insulated the best i can but its still drafty. i have no desire for blasting holes through concrete block for running any kind of exhaust out of the garage. do they make vent less natural gas heaters?, though my house is heated by a boiler baseboard heater system but i don't know if that would overload the system adding baseboard heat to the garage. plus the cost of a new zoning module pipe and baseboard, especially being unemployed at the moment

Have you ruled out growing what's in season for the temps in your area? Then insulating is less of an issue. I don't know what your winter temps are, but obviously shiitake, enoki, etc. can take some chilly temps

If you have no way of exhausting out of your garage how are you going to exhaust the co2 from the growroom and get fresh air in.? If you're just exhausting into your garage it won't work. For one the garage is small and will just stagnate and 2 you'll be pumping spores into the garage

The way I exhaust my basement growroom sucks pre conditioned air from the rest of my house. My house is old and drafty so id be screwed on these cold days if I wasn't heating with wood. Electric heat would never keep up with how much outside air gets constantly sucked through every seam of my home. Keeps my house air fresh though

This is a cool method! @Rhizo, could you do a similar thing with your garage? I obviously don't know your layout but you could possibly use those slinky dryer vents and duct fans to pull air from your house to your garage? Another from the grow room out a window could pull out spores. I hope I'm making sense here I feel like I'm doing a bad job describing this :confused:

It wouldn't be super efficient but would be cheaper than the foam insulation, at least in the short term since you lost your job. Sorry to hear that btw!

I have a method for this, I'm rebuilding my garage doors to be swing style but leave enough room above it to add a vent(like a dryer vent with the flaps) for the co2, i didn't want to tie the heater exhaust into it, manly space issues.

big score today

i found a company that makes a minimum of 15 of these bags a month, down side they are mixed hardwoods so i grabbed three to experiment with.




Another score today

also found a vent less natural gas heater with a blower motor for 100$ down side to that is i don't think i can add a thermostat to it. i just got home so i haven't had time to look into what i can do to make to temperature controlled, ill figure out a way! another downside is it will create co2 so ill have to figure out a way to pump fresh air into the room, should be easy enough.
