Your system is pretty freaking sweet! I’m a little jelly actually… I live in a 1 bdrm apt so I’m always a bit in awe when I see setups as nice as yours!
I don’t do autos… My 1st grow I tried doing an auto and photo in the same tent… My only tent at the time… It was a disaster… Spurred some good ideas, but looking at the 2, auto vs photo, I decided I by far preferred the flexibility afforded by photos… Haven’t looked back
Right on Brother and appreciate the compliment! My 2nd house in the last 2 years and grow in my garage. Environment is my biggest challenge with temp and RH adjustments. That and having to grow on the down low

Definitely a lot more room for error with photos. I grow both and autos can be tricky and unforgiving when 
goes south

One nice thing about my little setup, is that it can look like this with the temps never exceeding 85 inside either closet… I can leave them completely closed up for a week at a time… Like I can resist peeking

Sweet! The only time I’m not peeking in on them is if I’m gone for a few days

I went trailer park style… Window unit in a closet… I vent the exhaust to the left using a disposable aluminum turkey pan and some duct tape with a dryer hose… On the other side of the wall is my hot water heater/furnace closet… There’s an air intake in there… As long as I leave the fan on, it sucks all that hot air right outside

@TinyMeatGang here is the system i set up now use in all my grows. Help yourself to ideas. As you will see i ended up using smaller lines and emitters which worked better. Those you show in the pic were too diffucult to get balanced.

Not sure. I have a thread somewhere where i made my own if you think you could bend your own. Or just contact local hvac shop and ask if they can make one. Dont know the cost. I gave our guy an ounce each time he made me one.

i couldn’t really see how the corners come together on your drain pan in your pics. did they weld it or like fold them together?? if you don’t mind, could you snap a picture of one of the corners? i would like to mimic it.
