Hey that looks better than the cardboard box I live in. How much would you charge me for rent?

Half of whatever you grow...lol....just playin...

It is on the Southside of the house, I was an avid garder when I was younger b4 flyin from the nest, but now Im back BABY!!!

Cool.
You don't even need THAT much light- since you will get sun during the day, your goal now is simply to maintain photoperiod. A couple big T12 flourescent fixtures hanging from the peak should accomplish that goal for ya, and not break the bank. A 2-bulb 4-footer costs $8-9 at home dePOT... plus bulbs, a couple chains, and be CERTAIN that you're protecting the fixture and any plugs from moisture.

Definitely Stinky...ur the best, I was actually thinkin of usin a T-12 Shop light. Imma throw my Digital Temp and Hygro in there to record the highs and lows so I can compensate for the heat changes

[twoguysupnorth]

i am just curious, what are your winter lows where you live? here you might get negative 10 deg f at the most, a couple of times during the winter.

[M.B.A.]

35F probably would be the lowest possible since we are in a valley....would a 4ft fluorescent shop light provide enough heat for the lows? I am gonna check the Highs and lows from a 24hr period w/my digital temp/hygro.

[M.B.A.]

WOW i CHECKED MY dIGI THERMO/HYGRO THINGY AND THE HIGH TEMP IN THE gh WAS 118f...the coldest was 39F...The humity went to 82%...should I cut a vent or something?

[stinkyattic]

Yes, You'll want to make a ridge-vent that you can roll up in the daytime when the temps are high, or install an exhaust hole and fan on a thermostat.
As for the nighttime lows, you really don't want to ever get down below about 50'F. Are you simply using this to extend your growing season? Or planning to grow all winter wiht it?

[M.B.A.]

Winter growing hopefully, if not then I will used it to extend me grow from next summer
