7 feet tall, 4 x 4 good use of space huh. although I must admit, the 600+ 400 is pretty hot. Temps seem to spike to 90 at random. I opened my windows, and the room temp is pretty cold so there chillin at 84 again. But i cant imagine a hot ass summer. This tent will definitely need more advanced cooling or a dedicated ac to beat the heat from both bulbs come summertime.

It looks huge, something that id like to have.
theres a 4 x 8. that is commercial easily. You could have two 4 x 4 flood trays and 1 intake exhaust system. make good use of space and electricity. put two 4 x 8 in my bedroom. but that would be crazy. but who knows. i may step up in the future but I could never smoke that much.
AND SINCE IM ONLY SMOKING MY GROW AND NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER going to sell it to anyone. Im gonna bake cakes with my weed.

Dude I appreciate the pix! I'm in the process of setting up a grow tent and was looking for setup directions, then I found your thread. You gave step by step pix on setting up intake/exhaust for a grow tent, that I couldn't find anywhere!
I got mine here, but it is similar to the HydroHut New 4x4 x 6.5 HYDROPONIC GROW TENT HYDRO BOX SUN HUT - eBay (item 360013721138 end time Jan-20-08 22:30:00 PST)
Keep up the good work and post lots of pix!
Peace,

BTW - I read that you went to TO for your seeds...
Well, I took the bus up to Toronto a few years back for my seeds too, this was before the new administration took office. We visited the city of Hamilton and smoked in their coffee shops and everything. They closed them all down now and slowly shuting down all the seedshops too. Used to be that you might get a ticket for having/smoking pot there; now you get arrested - I hate change!
Bummer... Cause I really want to try some of the Calif strains like OG Kush and Bubba Kush. Found a website that sells them, but there is nothing like walking in the store and buying them then and there. No waiting on the mail and being paranoid that you might have gotten riped off or worrying that the Po Po has intercepted them.

Yeah no problem on that. I spent so much time researching everything that I make my threads literally to just help people save months of time reading. And yeah the hydrohut is awesome, the urbanites greenhouse, I try and show everything I do with it and encourage others to do the same including you.
And yeah stay tuned definitely more pics to come. not so much me bullshitting anymore but more pics for sure.
And the best is if you really stay tuned im going to show everyone the new way the entire site needs to start growing.
Yeah I totally know what you mean. I did the drive for a few reasons. a major factor was a girl drove me in a brand new mustang and it was fun all the way and back with her. The other was i was paranoid ordering, and the other was for that personal service. Sure I spent over 700 dollars on seed in cash, but you cant beat standing there talking to 3 salespeople about all their favorites including them pulling out all there medical buds and letting me smell some, then there was the free pack of seeds, then there was the free salvia. Nothing like human to human sales. And we probably talked to them for over an hour about every aspect of weed during whole transaction.
and when we leave they recommend a coffee shop that had "special drinks".
my girl got some girly frappucinno thing , I got a hot chocolate. WOW, no kidding we had a hard time driving around after these, after not smoking for a while. and the place with the drinks was mad shady, you would never know unless you asked. and it was like 2 strrets away from seedbank
So In researching vertical grows. I came across the most brilliant idea ever. And a fucking genius named NORTHERN FARMER . Thank you northern farmer, and I hope you dont mind me spreading your wisdom. Your a freaking genius and thanks for the knowledge.

here are the pics. And im totally going to try and implement this on a smaller scale for now in my hydrohut. then eventually converting a full room like these excellent examples. Vertical is the way to go. fuck horizontal and losing half your bulb, I knew I was on to something and here it is.

omg, feel like a newb for not thinking vertical before, been looking at strictly vert grows, and all i can see and say is if your not doing a vertical grow, your basically feeding your ceiling. or feeding your reflector light, not plants. Wasted light. SO much wasted light.

Yo, I totally agree!!!
A couple of years ago, I tried using the white plastic stands that you find at like Walmart for $10.00 that have 3 or 4 levels that just fit together no tools or nothing. But back then I only had the one 150w HPS. The plants just weren't getting enough light, no matter how I raised or lowered the light. I just couldn't firgure out a way for it to work.
Now I do 4X4 ebb & flo trays; I have 2 of them. I'm going to be adding another 2 so I can do a 4 stage perpetual grow and harvest like 16 plants every 2 weeks or so. Saw a kool diagram of it on another site, only thing is I won't be moving my plants from tray to tray. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks.html
I also just received my Circle Light Mover that was to be for that purpose and will put better use to my MH and HPS lights, but I might be able to use it for a vertical grow. Who knows...
Anyway, until I get it figured out for my space, I guess I will be going forward with my 4 tray perpetual grow for now atleast.
But now I totally see that vertical grows make so much more sense and I would have a bigger yield. And the way things seemed for that NorthernFarmer dude, there's no wasted light.
Anyway, tonight I'm putting together the grow tent for just my mums and clones. Since it's light tight, I can have all my girls in the same room and take back my 2nd bathroom where they are vegging now. Thanks to your pictures I should have no problem getting the ventilation setup. Thanks again for that!

BTW - that article on those growers in Queens was off the hook! So the Po Po are just walking by and see the weed? Is that how it went? Was it sitting outside? No that doesn't make sense with all the light's that were confiscated. But how could they see them through the window during the day? Bad piece of luck for those guys!

yeah a perpetual harvest is something I looked into /at as well (read al.b.fucts thread twice already), but it seems too much work to do over time. Id prefer a big ass few crazy workdays and harvest as well. i hate doing things every single day, right now I check on them once a day, just to see nothing crazy happened, I try my hardest to forget about them, cause then I stress and think it takes 100X longer. but I guess with those 2 tables you got already, you could make ridiculous clones in them for the other room but your probably better off doing both, like a harvest coming from those every 2 weeks of killer hydro, then you got your money making payoff room, soil vertical to the max spending half on wattage but getting weight.

I have Northern Lights x Skunk # 2 that i am germing now.
nice. what website you get them? I looked at your thread left a comment, mine are just being sexed today and all week. Ill show you pics if any are fem. I think something is wrong but Im not sure. But It looks like I got a bunch of males all around in all the different strains. Maybe its just bad luck but im scared. very angry if its majority males. Cause now im going vertical I want extra plants not less, damit.

I got mine from Doc C. With all of the trouble that everyone has had getting their orders i am going to save some pollen and cross each strain that i have. I am keeping my fingers crossed for mostly girls. I need one or two different males for pollen for seeds.
well. i have 10 confirmed bitches. already killed 5 males. and have like 12 to be sex confirmed still. theyre all doing fine, a bit of burn, some deformed leaves, just a normal grow.
im going to lose these strains most likely because I just dont have time right now to finish my veg area, and the plants are already in 12/12. I have to see what my week is like, I may or may not pull 1 of each confirmed female strain except skunk as I have more seeds of that to put them back into 24/7 light for revege. I already have the t5 setup, but I need to build ventilation but problem is I need to add some vent to bloom area as well, and that is priority.
