Mini grow tent.... under construction with pics! Will update as work progresses :-)

Here it is folks.

Dimensions: 2' high x (1' x 1'4'' wide)

Designed to keep 4 short plants (autoflowering dwarfs).

Will cover it with plain white PVC and put 3 PC fans - two for air intake and and one for exhaust with a home-made carbon filter attached.

Light tight, except for the 3 fans.

One of the sides and the top will have velcro between PVC and wood to make opening easy.

Lites: 8 23 watt 2700k CFLs + 1 20w 6500k anti-odor (negative ion lamp, it WORKS for small plants/spaces - I'm testing it for 1 week now in my other grow setup.

Will make a DIY bubbleponics system in the near future for 2 plants, so it will be 2 DWC plants and 2 soil plants!

Guys and girls (hopefully! ), here is an update on the mini grow tent!

After roughly 16 hours of work and 65 US$ spent, we have a mini growing tent almost done. I still need to put the lights, will do it tomorrow after (the "real") work

Yesterday I finished the PVC cover - it is a lightproof grey/white PVC film.

The top and the front opens completely, thanks to Velcro - the best invention ever after transparent rolling papers! Ha!

I also installed 3 fans: 2 of them are air intakes and one exhaust.

Velcro rules!

cool idea. i think many could benifit off of seeing a usefull microgrow in action. ill be following

It is finished and working. I had to cut the wires of 1 intake fan, because the plants were getting dry way too fast. Now it is ok.... 1 Intake fan, 1 exhaust fan and 1 "passive intake" hole for good.

Temps are optimum.

Only 6 CFLs for my 1 x 1 FT area is doing great, but I will improve the light system soon, will add more watts maintaining the 6 CFLs (they are 23 watts, but I already bought 30 watters - will jump from 1,200 lumens each to 1,710. It is about 500 x 6 lumens (3,000) as a plus - a great improvement for such a small grow).

Here are the latest pictures of the mini tent. The computer screen on the side is only 14'', so u get an idea of the size

















Already germinating 3 Poison Dwarfs and 1 Thai S. Skunk seed, as my first grow turned out to be 2 males (from fem seeds!!!!!).

pretty cool dude, i like it.

Very nice looking DIY tent bro. I did a DIY tent set up with 3 separate tents using panda film. Check out the link in my sig. Oh and +rep for the nice work!
