Would love some advice or tips here.
Comments (7)sounds really cool. Be sure to post pictures of the finished product. my 2 cents: It's always better to have a little extra rom than needed, so my suggestion for the pipe is to do at least 2" so you have room for lots of healthy root growth. One thing to possibly think of if you haven't already-Build the bottom "guts" section tall enough to allow you to build rolling platforms for the tanks to sit on so you can easily move 10gallons of water to and from the chamber and will keep it easy to maintain w/ the added mobility. A 2" caster would do the trick. You mentioned that you'll leave all 4 sides open? You might want to have sides that can be easily opened up w/ the aid of fastened hinges? That way you can keep them closed to keep the light as concentrated as possible, and also allow you to better manage the temps and growing conditions.

Comments (12)I would use white wood blinds. It is hard to tell from your picture, but you windows don't look very deep. You might try 1" instead of the 2" that is so commonly used - less weight. I have the 1" white Basswood from JCP on all my windows. Do a search and look at Tinker_2006's windows. I think she started out with light, airy sheers and ended up going with white blinds - they looked great in her Florida home....See MoreBedroom Window Treatment Advice for Window Next to Wall
Comments (5)There's no other way to arrange the furniture? If you post a floor plan (hand drawn is ok) showing measurements of furniture, walls, window width and doors, maybe there is another solution. But if you don't want to do that, I'd just get some nice looking shades of your choice (bamboo or roman) and not worry at all about covering them with draperies. Depending on the size of your window, you might have to outside mount (better for light control, I think), because to inside mount might require a custom size....See MoreNeed help: Window treatment for extra wide picture window.
Comments (12)Thank you all! My most urgent needs are night privacy and cool temp insulation. I'm leaning towards drapes on the sides to soften the space and a blind in the middle to lower at night. As for all the wood, I agree, it's too much and I've been considering painting the built-ins. I'm just worried I won't like it afterwards and can't unpaint it. It's been a tough room to deal with altogether. I appreciate all the advice!! Please keep it coming!...See Moreeandhl
