Here is a pic of the auto I just took down. If this gives you an idea of the size you might be looking at.
Czelenik,
thank you for your reply. I’m impressed with this website too, hope to learn enough to start indoor growing. so far so good!
Thanks Twelve 1. It’s great to see all of the innovation of the people who use this site! I’m impressed.
Thanks for that…I’ll be looking around the web for sources after I visit two grower-friendly shops in the nearby city. I appreciate all of the info.
Hey Dexterado, that’s a sweet plant! looks like your set up is working. 3-4 of those would last us a long time, old farts that we are.
Fiz, my husband is 6’4". think that might be a problem? i spose i could do all the work, i’m 5’5".
TNP that’s good to know, tx
Thanks for the recommendation of Graysin. I’m so used to growing outdoors that I really hate the indoor idea but we have to roll with the times. Too many people around nowadays.
You mean inside the tent work? I either take my plants out - though so much fun lugging my 5 gallon pot when it is saturated! Or sit on a stool and reach inside. I do like to take them out so I can examine them very closely.
ShockDog, I’m sure your grandma is cool in so many ways just not her path. It’s great to have such a well spoken of website to get info from, although I’ve bought seeds from ILGM for years, I’ve never deviated from my normal gro-routine. It works for me! But now we feel we must think about indoor gardening. I love that I can come on this site and ask a ? which is usually answered quickly. I appreciate all the feedback. One is never too old to learn new tricks.
Yes Fiz, inside the tent. You still have to groom and check soil and give them a turn and…So I think I’ll start looking around for lights etc over this winter. We are set for 2023 but I need to plan far far ahead as it takes me forever to accomplish anything nowdays. Plants are my salvation. Thanks for taking the time to reply
Haha! Oh man… im on my first photo grow (ive only ever did autos) and I’m now lugging around 10 gal pots from my tent to water outdoors. I mistakenly vegged for 10 some weeks and transplanted a couple times.
It sucks
I’m used to 3s and 5s
Oh wow that must be something! I am close to my limit lifting the 5 gal. Couldn’t do a 10!
I messed up going from 5s into 7s. I wanted to transplant into a bigger pot with fresh Strawberry Fields FF soil for flowering…
Didnt give myself enough room. And so into 10s they went lmao
You’re going to do some amazing stuff @Sandbie with an indoor grow. And everyone here is going to support you the whole way ![]()
If you have to haul your plants around all of the time I think you will find the comfort and controlled environment indoor / tent growing offers to be a relief. I pull up a stool to water / feed the plants. Rolling
plant stands with trays makes it even easier to move and train them.
The key to indoor growing, besides lights, is the ability to manage temperature and humidity.
Good luck with the transition to indoor growing.
p.s. there are a good number of us retired grandparent types around here.
p.s.s. When I was 15 in 1966 the family car was a 1966 327 Chevy impala hardtop. It was a blast learning to drive in that car.
Hi there from another gram!

As an experienced grower, how much grow is desired? can the grow room support two tents?
If growing continous, a Veg tent and Flower tent are great. Size appropriate for house, air environment and electrical electrical factors or constraints must be considererd before DEEPDIVING, but till death do us part, I signed on.
