Hey folks,
I've just stumbled across some good luck. A friend of mine owns a garden nursery and owns many commercial sized greenhouses. I was lucky enough to be gifted one of his second hand commercial greenhouses. In total it measures 100' long x 20' wide x 15' tall. I own a nice chunk of land, in a pretty remote area. I was thinking of assembling this GH with the dimensions 25-30' long x 20' wide x 15' tall. Now comes the mass of questions..
1. What size should I realistically build this? I don't think a 100' long GH would be reasonable in a residential area.
2. Are there any extra safety precautions I can make? I don't really like the idea of the greenhouse being ''see through'', or easily accessible to everyone. I don't want a big lock on the outside because that just screams ''I'm growing bud in here!''.
3. Whats the most reasonable way to heat this greenhouse in the winter? I like the idea of solar heating panels, but I know very little about them.
4. Is there much I can do about odor control without setting up a carbon scrubber? I'm not sure I could really build or setup a carbon scrubber large enough to hide the odor from a GH of this size. I was thinking of possibly growing a lot of other plants in there, including flowers, and other odoriferous plants.
If you have any advice, tips, etc please let me know. Help this GH noobie out.
