Fitting a 9x9 tent in a 9.5x9.5 room

[learningthebasics27]

be careful about that, unless you have a lot of air exchange in your attic, it's very easy to grow a load of mold, pumping warm moist air up there

More chance to smell pumping it out the window though yeah?

Because I already have the tent ordered. I guess I can cancel it. I mean I can put it in the front room if I really wanted too and throw some panda film up so you cant see it when you open the front door. It will fit in the den its just literally right next to the front door and front window by the door is in the den. I have two 9.5x9.5 rooms in the back that are empty as well. Just not really trying to tear up the house too much and keep everything in tents... I mean it might make more sense to use the rooms idk

Don't put it near your front door unless your happy with everyone coming round asking questions or knowing your growing.
Fans are loud.

Exactly why I am going to avoid putting it there. Last thing I want is any unwanted attention. Thats why I wanted to move the 9x9 tent out of the den and put it in the back room, but the back room is only 9.5x9.5

With a quality filter you should not smell anything.
On harvest day use another fan and filter scrubbing the room before it gets scrubbed again by your main fan/filter.
That's it you want to be double precautious.

Retail style flood tables are also larger than the stated size. For example active aqua 4x8 is 4.45x8.43 lip to lip, making it impossible to fit 2 inside a 8x8 tent. As for ventilation if you hooked it to a roof vent or a gable vent the smell would blow away pretty good and keep your attic in normal working condition. Good luck!

Why use a tent? Just use the whole room

This gets my vote...sell the tent on eBay...

I mean I could just not vent that room and use co2? But I have dual duct portable acs not a mini split, i wasnt planning on doing c02 with the tent

The tent has not even shipped yet its as easy as to just cancel it I am pretty sure. But I could just use the tent in the living room lol. I would just have to put a little piece of panda film up so you cant see it through this cutout in the front room wall when you open the door.

tents add lots of hassle, you could probably do with the extra headroom for a start

now that I’ve built a room I’ll never use a tent again. The extra headspace alone makes it 100% worth it.

They make extension kits for the grow tents, can go all the way from 7-10ft in 1ft increments.

Look, you asked us for advice and we gave it. Now it's up to you to decide what you want to do. Now you are beating a dead horse.

Rigid foam can be helpful in some situations.


Like some other mentioned...I would use the whole room....build a double entry door, seal it, scrub it, later......Co2 it!

If and when you do decide to assemble a 9x9 tent, in a 9.5x9.5 rooms, please, PLEASE make a video of that entire process....
If for nothing else, the viewing enjoyment of the entire RIU community.... indoor growers everywhere for that matter.....

It’s like a challenge at this point, I’m pretty sure I could do it although if I had a room that size I would just use the room. But I really feel an urge to try it just dont have a room or tent that size lol.
