Still thinking about containers, etc. My original plan was to build custom trays on casters with fabric pots. The dimensions I chose gave me quite a bit of room.
I saw these 64-gallon commander totes being used elsewhere. They would work, but only give me about 1/2" of clearance in the shorter distance. I can see this being a bit of a PITA to get these actually into position with the wheels only being on two sides. The more I look at this drawing, I doubt I could even fit three in there, I would likely have to go with two.
While at Home Depot, I found these 45-gallon totes with slightly smaller dimensions. They also have wheels on two sides, but are slightly smaller all around. However, I would probably only put 30 gallons of soil in them vs 45 gallons of soil in the other totes. I may be using these if I don't decide to go back to the custom built beds.

Are those root plugs in schnapps plastic glasses? That's a great idea i will try to use too as last time I tried without a proper plug tray mine were falling over too easily...

Good help is hard to find. My buddy did get a couple more sheets of wallboard put up today. I like my buddy, but he didn't show up until noon, took an hour to smoke and drink a beer, worked for an hour, took his kid home, then came back.
Of course he spent another hour smoking and drinking before doing another hour of work and calling it quits. At this rate, I’ll be done by the end of June
Now that there is sheetrock in this corner, I might as well throw up a light. I went into storage and pulled out three 5000K X2 SolStrips, a HLG-120H-24B driver, a potentiometer, and a Sonoff TH-16. I already had the frame, so I just had to screw it together and wire it up.
I had this greenhouse in my dining room with several house plants in it. Most of them moved to my new office, the rest got spread out around the house, and I threw the aloe plants outside. I needed somewhere to put it, because there is no room with my new dining room table.

Got the first half of the workshop floor cleared off, cleaned, and etched. This is a photo of the floor after the etch and rinse. The floors are still wet, and it is not breeding up or pooling, so this should be good to go. I plan to get this half tomorrow while the kiddo is at her mom's.

I got these little nylon feet for my workbench sections so they can slide on the new floor without damaging it. I slid the workbench into place and it was almost as if it was designed to go there. The top is a little bit too long, I'm going to have to cut a couple of inches off of it to get it to fit.
With the workbench out of the rooms, I got the floors etched. I'll have some free time this weekend to put down the epoxy.
Boxes are piling up around here like Christmas. The 2x4 tent, supplemental LEDs, both fans, and one filter. I have several other boxes of soil amendments due to arrive today.
Started laying out the LED wiring harness and soldering the connectors. These are 10A connectors and 16AWG wire. This should be good for up to 10 feet.

Not a whole lot going on with the build while in my "stay at home" orders. I did, finally, open up the supplemental boards and tested if they worked. They do. Still need to do some testing on the PWM controllers, see if I can piggyback multiple boards on the same dimmer channel. If not, I may need to buy another Bluefish (mini) controller.

My buddy came by again today and finished up the sheetrock in the veg room. He still has a few small pieces to fit, then will begin with the tape and mud. I still need to build and test my lights, sew my fabric beds, mix up my soil, and install my exhaust to work on in the meantime.
