thats an awesome set up.. i'm jealous of your convenience lmao.. but hey my only concern is if you have nosy ass neighbors.. just something to think about.. i would be kinda sketched out about when and how i maintained my business outdoors =P a bowlpack might calm the nerves tho ha
goodluck

That would be awesome, but I would buy the cans and only do it in corners of the shed, I dont think that foam would help keep cold out.
I think insulation would be cheaper. like the fiberglass shit. but That might not be possible to put up.
Maybe you could upload a picture of what you got.
and if you plan on using HID lights. those will keep the shed warm. but when the lights turn off it might get chilly.
and would could get a temp controller from C.A.P. they have one that will control cooling and heating.
Maybe he could split it into two rooms, both flowering so lights are going all the time and then vent inside the rooms? Keep it a closed system?

Did you mention a heating system? Your gonna have to heat that sucker if you plan on growing during the winter, insulation only keeps heat in better, but without a source of heat other then cfls you will have freezing temps. Then Id be sketched about planes and what not flying over picking up a heat signature luminating from the shed in the dead of winter, 24/7. Just some things to think about.

yeah i already though about that, i cant start til late jan or in feb so thats okay, but i was gonna put a small heater in there, but most ppl in these parts have outside woodstoves so the shed being just a little larger then that im not worryed about fly overs which is rarely to none

watch out for moisture problems. you don't want to trap it in the walls or ceiling. you may have to climate-control the shed, even when not in use, to avoid moisture problems. might be good to glue a strip of screen along any seams, too. and duct tape them too. have total control of intake and exhaust, or they will bite you in the arse. i don't suppose it has a south-facing roof? a nice little solar panel. ah, to dream. my buried shipping container.........one day.

yeah i was playin with how many plants to put under it i had 2 buckets then pictured it and the screen looks to big for 2 and i tried 3 and it looked okay but still had the bucket in the back tried 4 it looked clean like it would fill the whole screen but yeah its gonna be a back buster to drain and add new water to the back ones and to pull em under, but i might go out there and toy with it some more til something clicks cause the screen is 4ft long and 2ft wide

if u want a screen set up use an outdoor hanging basket that has coconut noir in take out coconut and turn upsidedown. run three stakes into bottom of pot then zip strip the bonnet if u will to the stakes, works great. i will see if i can find a pic.
