Wow I agree with redeyedfrog, take it back. I personally have never seen one like that in my 20 years of growing.

How cold were your winters and wouldn’t the gravel floor harbour bugs?

Again don’t need to drive on it. Pavers I think wouldn’t be cheap either, plus they have gaps and won’t really seal the rooms that well.

Yeah was thinking of using a pond liner in each room 6”-12” up the wall, but would still build a sub floor and try and seal up the building. And might as well give it a good coat of paint before putting walls up just to help seal the floor and cause walk ways between rooms and mechanical area...

Would be using treated wood but all of it would be sealed with paint or the like.

Yeah it’s been like that for the last five years. Should maybe start growing concrete instead of weed. Maybe it’s the new cash crop? Not sure how it works out pound for pound though lol.

Yeah I wouldn’t use osb for a floor. Was thinking 3/4” tongue and grove plywood.

The other thing is if I was going to make the investment in concrete I would do it right and lift the garage(more cost) and set it on concrete pony walls. No point in having a floor that lasts if garage falls down around it.

Here the concrete would cost almost $30,000. I could put in quite a few floors for that. Concrete around here is crazy expensive. It would have to be trucked in from a hour away. And yes if I prepared it myself would be cheaper but not cheap enough.

Problem is the cost of concrete is twice the cost of a new garage.

Sorry just realized I really didn’t answer all of your question lol. No not planning on using a flip controller just cause of different ballasts being used and I like to know that I don’t have to be around 24/7. Each room will be separate from each other in all aspects as far as climate.

Thinking about digging out some of the gravel. Then use treated 2x6’s frame it all out level then fill with spray foam and top with 3/4 inch treated plywood. That’s the best I can think of right now lol. Anyone have any other idea’s that might work better in cold winters with wet springs?

For now equipment will be what I can spare for equipment that I already have plus a few new additions in lighting. One room will have 4 de 1000w hps, one will have 4 reg 1000 hps and the third room will have 4 new 630w cmh’s. The fourth room will depend on results from new cmh’s. Each room has...

Plan is for 4 separate 10x10 rooms each with its own ventilation and cooling.

Yeah the indoor rain I can do without lol
