Greenhouse setup suggestions

I was considering buying and setting up a martha greenhouse for a grow. Since the winter is upon us in the midwest, this is not an easy thing to find and shipping /price is an issue. Instead I was thinking of buying a good size plastic shelving unit and sourounding it in clear plastic wrapping with a vicks cool mist inside(RR suggests having cool mist inside gh as opposed to modifying with tubing ,plus i have a friend who uses this sort of method with much success). The only reason i'd want that martha gh, as stupid as it sounds is because of that convienient zipper. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to create an easy access inside that can be easily resealed. Also i was debating on either doing the above method of wrapping the shelving (emulating a martha green house) or to corner off a room in plastic with the shelving inside creating room away from the plastic wrap and the shelfing unit.

just use Google I got in Trouble earlier for posting a Link to a website who offers them. You can Buy one online for about 50$. Im not Sure if thats More than you Wanted to spend But They are perfect. I use a 4-teir
I use a Coolmist outside the greenhouse and Never had any Problems. When I put it inside, I had too Much water Build up on the walls. Its 100% Automated with an External Setup. I run it 24/7 and it stays ay 95% rH and I dont have to worry about water ending up underneath the greenhouse

If there is a walmart near you they should still have them in stock. They are meant to be used as closets so they are not cycled out on particular seasons.

I checked walmarts site for a green house and found one or two that would work perfectly but were (according to the website) "Out of stock in any walmart within a hundred miles of me." But i think i may check it out in person for the hell of it. If no luck i should go check out somwhere like SIDS (a little bit of a drive). I checked there website which had no product listings, but come on they really should have what im looking for right? Im not afraid to dish out some money for something thats gonna work well. That one on ebay looks right and i like the price but no ebay account yet. And although i understand mycology is a game of patients, i am impatient in my collecting of supplies. Shipping this time of year is a little slow and i'd like to pick it up in person if at all possible.

The Kmart and the Lowes in my town both carry the Martha thing. Box stores' websites suck. Don't depend on them because (and this is especially true for Wal-Mart) there are so many and the inventories vary so widely depending on your location. Just go there.
As far as easy access zippers are concerned, it is a major pain in the ass to get in to the lower regions of a Martha because of the way the zippers are. You have to open the whole thing up and while you're fucking around in there, all your humidity is getting out. But, aside from that Marthas rule. I love mine.

I used PVC pipe, .3 Mil. plastic painters plastic, Velcro and a cool mist so far on mine. To do the access ports I used Velcro tape. I made mine modular so I can add or take away from the height, width and depth. It's sweet... I'm still building away and will eventually post pics.

Have a look at my setup:
 This is an aquarium, lid has been removed for taking this pix. In the middle you see a plastic container containing water, a bubbler and a fish tank heater. The cakes are on the left and right of the container. The bubbler provides fresh air to the FC and is driven by an air pump. There is no need to fan this setup and you can use the heater to control the temp in the FC. This setup works very well, humidity is 95-97%.

Of course, Velcro! ingenious! I'd be willing to try a tubing method but i wanna try a dry run and see if it's neccesary. The nice thing that i see about tubing is it's hands free. I have read much and noticed people who use a modified cool mist and tubing seem to leave the damn thing on low 24 7 without problems instead of having an electric timer switch. Im gonna check walmart today for a gh. Im gonna first try the coolmist inside and check rh and stability before any tubing/ modification of it. What kind of maintenence does a bubbler require? Do you leave it on 24 7, on a timer switch, or just monitor it often.

my greenhouse is/was the shit, i can't wait to set it back up in my new apartment. Nebula's setup probably wouldn't be enough for a greenhouse. i ran my coolmist into the top of a greenhouse with some 1" hose from homedepot, it was on 24/7 and didn't require me to mist or any of that shit while providing constant FAE. the whole thing cost me under $100 and could be put together for less if you are willing to scavenge.

CantiSama nice setup, so you didn't have to use the eletric timer thats in your pic. I was thinking of going along the lines of the pic that Roadkill has posted untill i see reason to switch to pvc pipe or garden hose fed humidification.

That's Exactly how Mine looks, I have no complaints. Although I took it apart today and got a suprise of orange slim in all the Pipes that construct the greenhouse. Luckily I was cleaning It Anyways.
