7a here! I was thinking the same thing. I finally broke down and put some cardboard boxes over the few annuals I had planted. I wouldn't have planted annuals yet, but they were birthday gifts. I did just move my whole greenhouse shelf thing outside this past weekend because my seedlings just weren't getting enough light to thrive inside. It's all zipped up but I'm a little worried... But probably not worried enough to carry it all back inside again.
OP’s look just like one I just got from Amazon. I haven’t set it up yet, though.
Gardman R687 4-Tier Mini Greenhouse, 27" Long x 18" Wide x 63" High https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NCTGQE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_.jjUFbFAQJSRZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
That is from Amazon too. It's like $30-$35 bucks. I think I spent $60 total for everything. OH! I forgot! You need the Humidity Controller too!
Yeah definitely. So the CO2 sensor I use is this one. I like it so far, but it’s pricey. The benefit of this is that you can plug it right into a CO2 regulator so it will monitor the level as well as control output from a CO2 tank or generator. The downside is that it’s tricky to get remote monitoring set up, but I’m sure there’s a way - I just haven’t figured it out yet. The other monitor I’m trying out is this. I like it a lot so far. It just monitors the level but it also takes other measurements like temperature and humidity and you can see everything in an app. Super easy to install too
That's really nice, it'll work fine.
I'm using something like this with a 3 disc atomizer from house of Hydro for humidifier:
My wife purchased an small indoor green house (like this) and she loves it. She starts all of her plants in there and then moves them outside as they get larger.
I also bought one and set it up today.

No they don't, that's pretty much your option. The only other thing they have that similar is basically the same thing but half as tall. They're great, look nice and cheap. Go grab one, could still probably put it to use. If you want something that may be more suited to your size container then I'd check this out.
~~I honestly looked high and low for them before posting but they've vanished. Not even in my amazon order history. I must have picked them up at the store or something, cause I mostly do my shopping online. Sorry.~~
Edit: Oh, shit, my bad. I thought you meant the gladware containers lol. Yeah here's a link to the greenhouses. https://www.amazon.com/Ikea-Greenhouse-Indoor-outdoor-White/dp/B00J1QXXSA/ref=sr_1_1
That is a 45 gallon pot I believe.
As for the greenhouse, I got mine off Amazon. They no longer have the exact one I got but this one is pretty much identical, same dimensions and everything https://www.amazon.com/Green-House-HC-4202-Greenhouse-Shelves-Grow/dp/B01GDVVZY4/
​
The plastic cover is garbage, it dries out in the sun and starts tearing at the zippers. But It's just as easy just to use a clear tarp or drop cloth. The frame has a lot of uses.
I picked the greenhouse up on Amazon. It's very sturdy and pretty darn cheap for a walk-in size. I did slightly modify mine by omiting the lower shelves. This gave me larger niches to fit the size trees that I have and does not effect the sturdyness of the construction at all. Hope this helps!

Shears not the best deal but cheapest 5 or 6 bucks. More expensive pruners for 19 and 30 bucks prime deals too see similar items
Co2 controller decent savings
Also several leds like bloomspect 600w I think I saw.
Oh no! I'll have to figure out what to do about the light, then. Do you know if a plastic tarp blocks UVA/B like glass does? My greenhouse is basically covered by a big plastic tarp.
there is a video series called "lets grow mushrooms" by Marc Keith on youtube that is very thorough and helpful. here is a link to most of them. depending on if you wanna "go from scratch" as they say (like doing sterile culture work with petri plates and scalpels, sterilizing grain spawn, and inoculating it) or just purchase kits and have a small tent set up in your room here is an example, but it can be half this tall so all you are doing is fruiting them, there are different ways of going as far as what you should learn.
Miticide. I’ve been treating for them with this stuff with good results https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Doctor-Zymes-DZE1QT-Concentrate/dp/B07C8C2GLY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=DOAMJF5BJXXX&keywords=dr+zymes&qid=1662321217&sprefix=dr+z%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-3
If you use a portable greenhouseit will reduce the humility but it won't eliminate the issue. You could use a grow tent with an extractor fan, but there are also other things you could use that for and the resale value will be better.
That schematic is an absolute godsend, thank you once again lmao
Mix and matching some changes with my own measurements and parts. While it isn't 5x5, I've managed to make a smaller booth that, based on the power of math, I should be able to more than fully wrap up twice!
Here's why I had to do a bit of a unique build: Home-Complete HC-4202 Walk-In... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GDVVZY4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is where I've gotten all of my pipe from that allowed me to pursue a custom booth without needing the tools to cut and and buy my own PVC.
Here's the new finished frame: https://imgur.com/a/jN9bnLA
Now to find out if the blankets will hold up. 😩
Here is a grow tent that you could put down there.
I also know where to get a cheap laminar flow hood (around $400) if you need.
I'm building a mushroom cultivation business as well.
I use mason jars and mostly 6 quart bins to minimize damage from contam though I hardly have any.
Your basement should work really well as long as you set up proper air filtration. Find a HEPA fan to circulate air maybe.
No, it’s a “Greenhouse” I got from Amazon.

Thanks! I saw someone on Amazon.com said to just search for "mini Greenhouse plastic cover" for a replacement so that might help. I do enjoy being able to see in and turn on just the greenhouse lights at night and listen to music.
Still, I worry about that one shelf for you. Maybe remove the second from the bottom and move the tall plants to the bottom then even out the rest?
Hopefully yours is better or different from mine but it looks pretty close.

Sturdy it is not! It was only $38 when I bought it. It's not awful as long as you keep the limitations in mind. Have fun planting!
Thanks! I figured it was worth getting out my good camera for some of them. The chamber is just this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MR9C215/ The quality matches the price, but it works. It sits on this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DHW10/
Here’s the link! It was very affordable in comparison to alternatives and effective!

I feel it was a great price for the product that I still have. I learned with totes, down the rabbit hole I went. Have fun, stay safe. 🤘🏻
I do recommend this one! I’m tight on space. The space that I do have, is not level… with a little adjusting, these have very nice sway.
My one cat has jumped on top of that one, multiple times… it held up!
