I just got this at Canadian Tire. 175 beans. Its about 6x6x7high. Cheep home made misting system. Garden hose hooked to a old valve out of a washing machine. Power to the valve is turned on and off by a humidistat. 1 cheep misting head purchased at a hydroponics shop. I have a piece of plastic then carpet under it hoping it will bring the humidity up. I have the humidity set at about 45%. That’s quite hard to keep at 30* but seems to be working well. The mister just waters under the first shelf with a fan moving the air 24/7. Anyone else have a similar setup. Enjoy Stephen

Are you planning on taking it down once winter arrives?

Great idea with the misting system!!! Many thanks for sharing your ingenuity. How does one find the washing machine valve - is it from an old machine or can you buy one from Canadian Tire?

Yes I will set it up in the house this winter Zac. I just pilfered the valve out of an old washing machine you could buy one though. The valve actually has a hot and cold side. I have the second one blocked off. Thanks for the replies. Stephen
