hahaha! yeah that F’er took of faster than the shed heats up in the afternoon! 🤣 (love you TGR❤️✌️)

Dude im glad you could get it together! The inspiration is just, that! You are the doer! 💪 : )

i really like the tent in the shed! you have no idea how many times I’ve thought about doing this in my shed! even for just a drying space! how are you liking the buffer it provides?

EDIT to add: @Oldchucky is going to call me sappy but that dude has helped me just as much as anyone else here or more! Hes good at “talking me off the ledge” hahahah!

The buffer is somewhat buffering! Lol I set up the tent so the intake air comes straight from outside and I'm running positive pressure to keep the hotter air trapped in the shed from getting into the tent. So far so good. There's still some radiant heating happening but I'm going to insulate the roof soon and hopefully cut down on that.

So right now it's in full sun with the lights off. It's 72° outside, 84° in the shed and 77° in the tent. The display on the right is the intake air and you see the fan is on 7 while the exhaust is 0. Damn tent is blown up like a balloon!

I’m way east, but I heard everything gets stolen . I knew guys who would watch guys suiting up to go scuba diving, soon as they were under water they’d break into their cars. Good people. I’m sure they are all dead by now.

It was mentioned above by someone (sorry i forgot your name and im not scrolling) that a shade cloth would work! Dude im 100% onboard with this idea! Even just a cheap easy up type thing : )

And there are a lot of membranes and paints designed to mitigate heat transfer! But they probably won’t be cheap!

When we had to re-roof a 25 x 25 flat roof porch here, I told the wife I wanted to use white rollout roofing! She said no I want black! I want black! I said OK! Yes, dear! The next day we were out rolling out white!😂 it gets hot here!

The inside herb garden is doing ok, I took some store bought cilantro with some questionable looking roots and stuck it in a jar kratky style just for fun a few weeks ago and it's bouncing back nicely. 💚

Did commercial roofing when I lived in Florida, hot tar and asphalt shingles. We were doing a place in Cape Canaveral once. It was hot . Lifted up a box of nails , a cockroache ran out. Started running in circles and was dead in no time . I’m tougher than a cockroach.

Not gonna lie, this was the worst germination rate I've ever had. I guess that's what happens when you sit on seeds in sketchy storage conditions for two years.

Let's call it 50/50 at best. All the beans I traded for with other farmers were duds and about 25% of mine too. Lesson learned. 💚

It's a very chilly morning here in NYC! 48° outside, 55° in the shed and 65° in the tent. My only issue it that when the temps drop this low the intake and exhaust never cycle on. Not a problem now but something to watch out for later.

I put a small space heater in the shed to guard against low ambient temperatures. I can't believe it's almost memorial day!

I think the universe is trying to tell me something but I can't figure out what lol 🤔

I really dig the set up. That envelope of air you left between the tent and the shed will come in handy for sure. Great design. 🤩

Yeah I've never grown with positive pressure in a tent before, I thought that was for breeders looking to keep pollen of of certain areas. The idea to do intake air directly from outside didn't even occur to me until halfway through building it.

During the colder months I'm going to cap that fitting and pull the fan inside the shed like a regular lung room. I may even just turn it off and use passive intake at that point. It's so much easier to warm the shed up than cool it.

I'll burn that bridge when I get there though lol 🔥

If things go south with the shed, can you grow them outside? Or is that off the table?

Things are going to be great in the shed!!! My specialty in my day job and my growing is making the impossible happen!

If you can do it in climate apocalypse California I can do it in the Bronx lol 💚

GOING SOUTH IS NOT IN THE CARDS lol
Way too much work on this shed. Looks good. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

One of these days when I’m in the city we’ll have to meet up and smoke one haha
