Grow tent DIY for a fraction of the cost

Or at least more cooling than you have to lol.

@dbrn32 is our resident lighting god. I’m an led grower so don’t have a lot to say other than having the ideal spectrum during flower is where you don’t want to get sloppy with. I would look into HPS if that is what you are set up for because you’ll see it in your ladies.

You just owe us some bud porn when the time comes…lol.

I’ve said this before: we are growing thoroughbreds and you wouldn’t put regular gas in a Maserati now, would you? Throwing seeds in dirt will get us some pot but that’s not what we’re all about. Thank goodness because this is more fun.

Ya, as @Myfriendis410 pointed out, definitely a big enough difference from mh to hps.

Thanks much for the welcome, they run about $900-$960 for the scrubber, I just bought new hepa which is $150 and the carbon filters are like 3 for $90 . But it puts in the work and is intended for a much bigger area.

I feel through the zipper door and had it under too much negative air but you guys get the idea and will post new pic later with new zipper… thanks for everyone’s support.

I built a stealth Grow Box that will roll from place to place. My wife is not all together with the growing but has changed her mind recently. Approx 18x18x48. Has been used for several grows now and it is holding up well. It is in my current grow, The Force is Strong in this one!

Good luck with your grow.
