Tent would be much less work. My room with is 9x9 and it took a fair amount of time/hard work. I am very pleased with the overall results though. A tent would be easier and you wouldn't have to do any renovations to your home. You can't exactly make a grow room disappear in a matter of an hour, unlike a tent also. You would also have a way less chance of causing some serious mold issues to your house.
hey man im trying to work out the same problem. but i wana grow in my spare room out in the open on a bench with fluros or 250watt metal halide. so then i wont have temp problems or ventalation probs. plz any advice would be gr8t
I have not that big of a grow and am a nub sorta still but i noticed my temps got way easier to control when i siwtched to a tent rathern than a big closet or a bathroom.
I got a good place in my heart for tents, scientifically speaking.
Get a 1000. You will eventually if you got an extra room
A tent is def quicker to set up but with all the stuff I would be hanging (lights, carbon filter, cooltubes, fans) I was worried about how much weight the bars in the tents could hold so I made a closet. Also wouldn't you have to buy equip that matched the hole sizes in the tents for fans etc? or wouldn't you end up having to cut the fabric for it to fit? For me the final price tag ended up being around the same.
A tent wasnt a good option for me but others have done incredibly well with them.
dude i have a tent and i cant say anything bad about them, i just got done putting 17 1gallon growbags in a 20"x36"x64"!!!!.....in it i hang a 250w MH, a 16" rotating fan, a 4" inline fan(which comes with 4 and 6" flanges for a snug fit without any cutting or extra work) and a 4" carbon filter. i plan on making this one my veg room and getting another thats 39"x39" and making that my flowering room.
my tents awesome...and i hang everything from the top (6"x24" filter, fan, reflector) with no problems...ive seen a 170 lbs sales rep hang from the top of a secret jardin with no problems
tents are smooth sailing if you have a somewhere to exhaust (i suggest directly outside or into another room)...
check link in sig if you have anymore questions on tents...starting week 3 of 20 ladies under a 600W in a Secret Jardin DarkRoom150...smooth 75F and 45% humidity lights on no problem...
well, i own the condo. but the only thing is, i cant have the tent just sitting out in the room. I alrady have a designated spot, whcih is in the closet near the liviing room. So either way, i will have to create a exhaust and intake anyways
