The tent didn't break, the strap did. I use small chains to hold stuff up if needed. Don't use those straps for heavy stuff
Yes. First time I've seen one break but also don't have alot of them. Going forward will not be using the provided straps.
Yes. It is not the tents fault the strap broke. It is cheap plastic buckle that broke.The tent didn't break, the strap did. I use small chains to hold stuff up if needed. Don't use those straps for heavy stuff
Well it could’ve been worse and caused a electrical fire. Thank god it’s only plants that were broke.
You always do look at the bright side, such a positive member.
LOL
Not a bad idea. Definitely going to keep that in mind when I set up the next grow.
Nah, it's just not something you think of normally until you have an accident. Hopefully some painter's tape and supports will save most of the branches that got broken. I don't use a filter anymore so I just have the light to worry about but it's 45"x45" in a 4x4 tent so if it fell everything is getting mashed. It's good you posted about it, I bet a lot of people will be checking their supports out after reading this thread and you probably will save someone else the problem. Too often we all just want to post our best pics of frosty buds, threads like this do a lot of good.
I was just going through stuff today and found some of my straps. I tested The "good" set and it snapped with only like 8 or 10 pounds of force. I'm so glad I didn't use them. They surely would have given out with the weight of the filter and vibrations and stuff. Hopefully the stuff you had to harvest early turns out alright.
