Welcome to your new happy place 
Your setup is a little different. But, whatever works. How wet does it get ? You’ll probably be ok for seedling stage if humidity is high.

Tell the truth, your wife made you build that space for you to pick the banjo.

Temp stays about 65F-79F with humidity in the 50-70 range depending on season. I’ve been able to control temp and humidity with air movement and a small heater. With everything running. I can maintain 77F with 45% humidity.

If you haven’t started the grow yet, you may wanna get a big painters tarp and get it under the tent and cover all the dirt above floor level as well. If you’re running fans and opening the tent it’s gonna get really dusty in there real fast.

Laying the tarp was the first thing I did after the ground was leveled. I also keep containers about 3” off the floor.

LOL! That’s pretty damn extreme!
You sure you didn’t find any dead bodies buried where you dug?
I’ve seen everything now. 
thanks for sharing.
Keeping the tent warm might be an issue in the winter… but love love this idea!! Mother earth is a huge heat sink!!

One thing you will need that could escape the radar in this unique situation is bugs. That location under the house will lead to critters galore. Before starting any plants you should probably treat the entire area for insects.
I never go in the tent or even the tent room with shoes I have worn outside.
Read a few threads about spider mites and you will understand.

There’s nothing like the twang from a good banjo lick. I had a neck surgery 3 years ago and ended up with severe neuropathy afterwards. Last year had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery. My hands and muscle memory are toast. Been a minute since I’ve picked ole girl out of her case. I’m trying to get back to at least trying. I see People running sprints without legs. So, I can figure out how to hold a chord. At least that’s my hope. thanks for telling your story!

I will share a fav video with you guys as I think you will appreciate it.
One of the best pickers to not get proper recognition in my opinion is Bobby Thompson.
Watch this clip from Hee Haw decades ago. But don’t watch the banjos, watch Roy and Bobby’s eyes.
Roy was no slouch but Bobby was the master of Melodic Banjo. No doubt Roy had Bobby teach him this tune. Bobby is watching Roy’s face almost the whole time, and Roy is watching Bobby’s hands as a student would do. Its a great song, but the story of teacher and student is better to me.
