Thanks for the replies, yup my first time building something, and have patted myself on the back :rofl:
There wasn't actually any gaps, i just sealed and duct taped the joins anyway, I figured that going over the top on the first attempt wouldn't be a problem. There are brace bars added, along the joins to add some extra strength. I cut the shelf and test fitted it, and realised that there wasn't enough support, so added a length of the wood I used for the frame to each side, fitted the shelf and then got the mrs to sit on it (and the shelf :hubba: :hubba: ), it took her weight fine, she did offer to bounce up and down a bit more, but I said she should do that on the shelf as well :hubba: :hubba: :hubba: , seems strong enough for what I need it to do.
The ply is exterior grade with weather protection on it, so should be OK, but I will probably paint it anyway so it looks better, probably white, but I might go extreme and paint the outside a screaming orange
Will sort out a grow journal when my girls get here, just using some seeds a friend has germ'd and veg'd for me, after that will be buying some seeds to start a grow going. Not sure what I will go for, so much choice, have posted in the strains forum to get some feedback on what would be a good plant to start with, plan on using 5 seeds (providing they all take that this) grow and harvest 4, and use the 5th as a mother plant. So if anyone has some ideas check the thread out.
