I have been making improvements to my growroom, which is a converted 2 car garage. This will be the third season that I have been using this space. Before that I had a space setup in the unfinished section of the basement(which is the laundry room). The problem is the furnace is located there along with a vent. It would stay too warm there and i was always fighting white flies or spidermites on my brug and plumeria. When I moved to the garage it stayed cool enough that the spidermites and whiteflies can't reproduce and get out of control. The grow chamber that I have built across the rear of the room with be used to grow seedlings and other young plants. It wil be covered with plastic sheeting like a greenhouse. only the sides are covered right now because I have been finishing the internal structure and I need to put insulation in the walls before covering it with reflective film.

The top height is about 18 inches and will house the lighting, heating and cooling system that I have designed, and a irrigation system below the lighting. The lower front will have two doors that will raise for access. Here are some of the other plants that are hanging out for the winter
These are the youngster (Richard these are the bananas from this month)

This has been such a labor of love for me, I have enjoyed designing it and already have plans on building a second unit that is only 12 feet by 4 feet. The one picture here is 16 feet long with four feet of it as computer space. Sorry about the large picture I have no idea how to edit them (but willing to learn if some cares to share)
