You could save all of us that would like to do this a lot of time and effort if you'd give us some ballpark estimate of the cost of your system, or at least direct us to where that information could be found. Your system is absolutely brilliant. I'd love to do something very similar where I live. PLEASE keep rolling out the videos!
What temp do you keep the room at do you have celing fans to blow the warm air down. Do you warm the nutrient water so you can lower the temp of the room
Hello Paul, For most crops we keep the environmental temperature between 18-23C (65-75F) though some prefer temperatures outside of that range. Basil, for example, can thrive in temperatures as high as 30C if you've got the rest of your parameters dialed in. Yes, we have multiple fans in the farm to help make sure there are no microclimates and that our environment is as uniform as possible. Good airflow is also needed for proper transpiration and VPD control. Some systems will chill the nutrient solution rather than heating it actually as cooler water has higher dissolved oxygen content which plants love.
It depends on the insulation. We typically recommend folks put up vapor barrier if the insulation is poor or the environment is very cold. humidity indoors is typically controlled with dehumidification.

Is that just standard drywall? Wouldnt you be worried about mold?
