Default Littlefrog Farm - New Growroom - LEDs

This has been in planning for over a year, and in construction all summer (and still under construction), but here is a video tour of the somewhat functioning version of my commercial scale plant room. I still have plants to move from the greenhouse. Still not sure how much space I'll have left over, but it is likely that some of it will be used for frogs.

I have a few more videos of the construction process and some pictures, in my copious free time I'll eventually put up a construction journal on my website. It is basically a pole barn with added insulation. I added 2" foam to the walls, over an air space and the existing insulation. Moisture resistant drywall and paint over that... The ceiling is 1" foam plus R-15 fiberglass above.

Yes, I sell the LEDs you see in the video, but I'm really just showing it off because I think it is cool.

I just watched all your posted videos, and it really does look like a sweet setup. Though the color of the plants is just aweful, the results speak for themselves. Wish I had a spare barn outside. Hopefully in time, these systems price will come down a bit and I can look more seriously into them. I'm interested in how phals do under them, so keep us posted on your results.
