Gotta say that shed beats my last winter grow setup. I grew 6 plants inside of a refridgerator box in my garage over the winter, got down to about 12F at night (The garage was separate from the house so it had no heating). A single oil heater like the one Briangtho showed was enough to keep the whole garage around 70.

I built a 7”x10’x 9’ room inside my work/landscaping shed(10’x16’ shed) I have a door going to grow room in back part of shed. My exhaust runs out top corner going down wall out floor spreading heat even underneath shed so pesky noisy helicopters won’t be able to pick up heat spot(throws it off when heats spread over big space evenly) also have an intake running same way next to exhaust except it takes air in from bottom side of shed on outside with a hepa filter. Intake is set on a timer 15 min on hour off and repeat. Helps with keeping good level of natural co2. Now I have a 4x4 as a flower room for now upgrading to bigger soon. Grow for myself n it’s still illegal in my state. I run a landscaping business so front half 9’ of shed has my 36” stand on and 52” stand on mowers,blowers,weed wackers and other equipment. I had a 100 amp box put into shed 2 four plug outlets on my landscaping side and 3 4 plug outlets on grow room side. Whole shed has think regular insulation in frame of shed also grow room. My grow room was built with 2x4’s also has insulation then 7mil panda film with Sheetrock and finally insulated sheeting over that. 4x4 has a Spider Farm 4000 just took out my 600w mh/hps air cooled hood. I have a 6’ AC Infinity with humidity/temp controller. Also have a 2’x4’x3’. Veg tent with a humidifier and portable heater set on temp controller. 4’ exhaust also connects to temp controller and turns on 1x every 1-2 min way I have it set up. Table to work on plants in middle of room. I have a 10000 btu Mr.Cool split ac Heat/ac(love this unit) I keep controller with the follow me mode at canaopy level of flower tent. I intake my fresh air from bottom vents with Darkflow light blocking air intake boxes(also love these things) so I can come in and out as I please without disturbing my flower tent. I have my 2’ 8 lamp t5) in veg tent. I also have set up on opposite side of room a 70 pint dehumidifier on stand halfway up wall with hose draining into a sealed bucket on the floor. Also when smell becomes really dank you can’t smell anything to begin with. I use either a Phresh or Black Op Carbon filters. But I keep one on the floor next to table and I’ll turn it on when I smoke or smell is strong n scrub air right inside the room making it easier for carbon filter in flower tent to rid the smell better. Hope this helps no matter how you look at it you want a good environment for plants so you will have to spend money. Maybe not as much as I did but it’s 100% worth it and in the long run will pay for itself 10 fold with quality medicine and good yeilds. Hope this helps a lot of writing but I love my shed and room I built. I’m in and out my shed do to my business so it doesn’t raise any suspicion AND!!! I live between 2 cops and we are good friends. They know I smoke but I’m respectful about it so there cool with it they to want the state to legalize it so they can focus on the real dangerous shit. I have my medical card state does have that(non flower) sucks. But nobody has a clue what’s really going on in shed. I have 2 4 bulb shop lights in both rooms with switches. Thinking about adding another 3x3 tent and throw autos into it so I have plenty of medicine at all times. Also while I wait for my photo periods to do there thing. And want to start a multi level veg tents 1 for clones and one for vegging before flip
