Below you will see the spaces we grow in at our home. I am sure most people will think we are crazy (hence the name Crazy Plant People Ottawa). 6 Months out of the year we turn our dining room into a greenhouse & seed starting station. Our spare room upstairs has been many things, but now is a year-round grow space. Our garage is used to start acclimating more mature plants to the colder temperatures, while having them still receive excellent light energy from high end grow lights. Lastly, our small greenhouse in the back is the final location for many plants, as it further introduces them to colder temperatures, real wind conditions, and sunlight.

Take a look inside!
Dining Room
Our main production area. We use this space to start all our plants until they can be moved upstairs. This room is kept around 20c-23c @ 60-65% RH
We have dozens of 4ft LED Grow lights to fit our racks, and fans to provide the plants with airflow to strengthen their stems and allow them to transpire more easily.
Lindsay can be seen working in this room for hours each day, growing strong plants and flowers for your garden!
Troy can be seen watering things, moving plants, setting up lights, fans, and racks.
Upstairs Grow Room
This is our next stop for most plants. When they graduate from the dining room, they come here for some intense light, and more air movement by multiple fans.
This room is kept around 19c-25c @ 50-65% RH
(It was set up quickly, the setup should be more thorough next year!)
The Garage
No sane person would house hundreds of plants in their garage for a couple months, but we do! We have very powerful grow lights, and a heater which keep temps above 15c, and we have plenty of water sources which keep the RH between 55-70%.
This year we upgraded our garage to include mobile platforms under the plants. When the daytime temps allow, we will open the garage door and roll the plants outside for natural sunlight and wind, then roll them back later on!
The Greenhouse
Our greenhouse isn't set up yet for this year, but this is the model of greenhouse we have.
This is the final destination for some plants before they are sold. We may add another one this year as well, who knows!
