Well everyone I'm happy to say I decided it was time To try and build a bigger growspace in the garage to house my Nepenthes. I've run out of room in my two 55 gallon tanks for a couple plants now and in time I'll have to scramble as the others slowly outgrow them as well. I'm excited and scared because I wantto get this stable and balanced so there is minimal temp and humidity control I have to do manually. Some great news is I'll be able to now utilize the east facing window in the garage for the morning light! My plant haven't had any natural light for quite some time so I'm sure they'll love that. I've also got a nice timer for my lights!!!finally!! 2 years maintaining a consistent 16 hour photoperiod with no timers is a lot of work. I'm so happy im not going to have to stress about it any more! Anyways it isn't complete yet but I've gotten a lot done today. I'll post updates as this comes together. Thanks for looking

Starting to try and boost up humidity and temp with this warm air humidifier before I close off the top and start putting plants in.

Plants are in ! Over time I'll move and figure out a good layout as I haven't really bothered exploring the bottom half of this space yet. I'm sure I'll throw some sort of light down there when I figure out what will go where. Until then , it'll be figuring out day and night temps and humidity!
I also repotted some plants so I'm sure there will be some growing goin on!!!

Fogger giving the overall growspace a sweet highland mountain feel.

Thanks Maiden. Appreciate it. I feel good about it. I never build anything so for how it turned out I'm pretty hyped. It works and I feel like a real CP grower now haha. The timers I got , ohhhhhhhhh man! I was missing out so much! I don't have to think about the fan,the lights, the humidifier none of it! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? My stress level has been greatly reduced haha Here's the freehand burnt sign I did up to mount on the jungle

...cool set-up, I built my greenhouse the exact same way. 2x4's and some 6mm poly and you can build anything! Just a thought though, I'm assuming humidity levels in your chamber will be very high so maybe it would've been better to put the poly on the inside and the lumber outside. Could be a non issue but if the wood starts turning green??? Really nice burn work, I already mentioned somewhere else that I loved that name! Really cool.
