Ok, newbie grower (I’m 61 lol) using a plastic shed from Sam’s club. I figure if I’m going to document my success (or failure) i might as well share it with others.
Bought a plastic shed at Sam’s for 899 + tax. Shed measures 7.5’x7.5"x8’ and requires a base to assemble it on. I decided to use some pressure treated lumber i had lying around to save money, had to purchase 2 sheets of plywood (talk about sticker shock), and had the base and sged assembled in about 4 hours, not bad for a crippled old fart, but the real work was about to begin. Next was gluing reflective insulation on walls, ceilings, and doors, running 2-20 amp circuits, hooking up the exhaust system using a vevor fan i found on Amazon, a vent system for the air conditioning, and hanging the bestva 4000 led. Today I started seeds, afghan feminized from ILGM, and gave my roots organic soil it’s 1st watering. I’ll be using roots Buddha grow and Buddha bloom along with trinity and worm castings. Using tap water degassed in buckets. Im sure I’m forgetting something, but I plan to add more as i go along. Feel free to offer up help or criticism of what i have so far
Welcome to the community, looking forward to seeing some green in your new adventure.
Welcome to the forum @xXDEATH666Xx
Nice set up. Couple of small items you did not mention, Ph pen and TDS pen. Spend a bit for good quality Ph tester and about any cheap TDS will do. Do not rely on the “probe” type or “3 in 1” testers.
So I’m doing all organic, and from what I’ve read so far is i wouldn’t need to check ph ir ppm
@xXDEATH666Xx its just a tool in the arsenal. I always check my water ph going in just for S&Gs. I only check runoff if i have an issue. I havent checked runoff with the 2 grows i have going now in 2 months.
I’ll pick up testers next trip to town. Any excuse to own new tools 
Whatever you do, dont buy the strips. Theyre junk. You can get a set of testers on amazon for cheep. This is what i use. Doesnt have to say vivosun on it, its just been relabled woth their name.
There it is…
I ordered that exact set. Thanks
