Oh yeah and please let me know which you guys would go with and some possible solutions to the problems presented;

1. Inside a closet -

Benefits: Stable temp. Don't have to worry about neighbors (they arnt snoopy anyways) don't have to carry water outside, I can closely monitor the progress of the grow.

Problems: Fire Hazard. Have to worry about adults snooping, and a 5yo and 8yo snooping and running their mouths to all their friends and their friends parents. Smell. (a carbon filter should take care of that). Light leakage. Noise leakage. Cheaper setup

2. Outside Shed -

Benefits: Locked/secured little if any attention is ever given to the sheds existence. No property value. Smell won't be noticed. Light/noise won't be noticed.

Problems: Heat/Cold. Carrying water out (solved by a large plastic bin holding large amounts of water and a timer driven sprinkler only would require occasional re-filling). Extension Cable (can easily by burred an inch bellow the ground to conceal). Possibly needing more power than can practically be delivered via a high quality extension cable or outside outlet (I would say thats doubtful, although running AC would certainly hurt me on this). More expensive setup.
shahji Reviewed by shahji on . need help with my first grow room Hey guys, I'm gonna be building my first real grow box soon and Ive decide I wanna set it up in a shed in my back yard for various reasons, the problem with this location is that during the summer the temp reaches over 90F and during the winter will drop to around 10F. I was thinking that the best solution would be to put insulation around the outside of the grow box (as it will only be about 3x2x6) which should keep the heat from the lamps in during the winter, and maybe rig a mini fridge up Rating: 5
