I am searching for anyone with experience growing inside grow tents.

i have limited space and have been researching about a 2'X2'X4' tent using 200W CFL light. Any input would be much appreciated before i make a decision.

basically im looking for input from anyone who has experience growing plants around 3-4 feet tall. As well as input from anyone who has experience growing inside grow boxes/tents

Thanks A lot!!!!

I haven't used a tent, but a friend who went to oaksterdam university said the plastic tent they had was giving off toxic fumes. I also believe the company recalled some of their products. Include some sort of research on the fumes they give off. Here is what I read. International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Hydrohuts killing plants... it's finally over
Here is another link to a post on RIU https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/52506-hydrohut.html
I would say get one of the huts they were talking about in that other post, or build your own. I am not sure if a 200 watt cfl bulb will be able to give enough light to 3-4 foot plants. You should get more bulbs to go on the sides of the plants if you plan on trying for that height.

thanks dank!
ya i dont think the 200W CFL will cut it, but i have decided the tent will be the dark room and prob. using a 250W HID.

i am still looking for input from anyone with experience growing 3-4 foot plants.

how long should i veg/flower when growing small plants?
