Hey guys,

Thank you for checking out my post and hopefully someone can help me. My name is Bo and I am having a problem. I want to start growing in my shed that is separated from my house, but I just don't know what to buy or how to set anything up. I would love any help that anyone can give me as far as a detailed list of what I need, including detailed names so I can find the product easily, and also possibly good places to buy it. Also, how to go about setting it up to get ready to produce some great stuff for me. I have a couple of pictures of my shed for you guys so you can see what I'll be dealing with. If you need any more pictures, then just let me know. Thank you again. I appreciate any and all help!

Here are the pictures of what I will be working with:









Just keep in mind that the reason why I'm including the last 2 pictures are because I want you all to know where the 2 vents in the shed are located. Thank you guys so much for your help.

Also, I plan on growing 5 plants and I would like to keep this under $1000, but I can go up to $2500 if I need to. Any help is appreciated.

for $2500 you can turn that into a sweet grow room. a couple things off the bat- you are going to need to insulate that area, or controlling temps will be a bitch. 1" or 2" extruded styrene foam is great and doesn't use up much space. you are going to need to find a way to dampen the light when you enter and exit. you will need a dedicated circuit for your room. use enclosed, ducted hoods for your lights, maybe cool tubes. i prefer 1000w but with your limited height two 600w would be better for you. draw air from the upper vent with a duct fan and exhaust it out the back through a new hole near the roof. use the lower hole to exhaust the room through a medium sized carbon filter. you will probably need a air conditioner. you will want some sort of drain tray. if you give me the dimensions i can throw together a sketch-up drawing for you.
