Grow Tent..

+1 on what lynnee said above!  

It looks very cool!  I've seen similar items at our local hydroponics store.  Admittedly, they tend to cater a different group of hydroponic growers...but hey, I'm sure it will work just fine for you too!  

I thought I remembered someone having one.  What can you tell me about the pros and cons and things you learned? or point me to a thread if you you have already posted it.  I am in the basement now trying to rearrange things to make it fit.   My nephew is going to need a really really big dumpster when my wife and  die! 

Thanks!  I was kind of concerned that it would be too cold with the exhaust fan running but I guess it will be wait  and see.  Not sure how many lights  or plants I can get in there.. I would like to grow 3 different varieties. Ellie at Bunny Hop suggested I grow the heritageseedmarket.com/index.php/product/nano-ciliegia/ after explaining my wife's likes in tomatoes.  This one get about 3' tall so was going  to use my 2 bucket system for that one.  Then I would like to grow heritageseedmarket.com/index.php/product/lille-lise-gift-only-with-order/ in the tub.  And  if somehow I could get it in there the Bounty like DIY with one of the others that are less then 16" tall .. But laying this out on floor.. does not look like it can be done very effectively in the 3x3 space.   Then trying to figure out how to support the plants  if I get them all in there.. 

Basement is probably in the mid 60s and not too humid... Have ordered a small temperature control device I used on my 3d printer enclosure.  It lets you control heat and cooling so I can have a temp set to turn on and off the exhaust fan, and a range to turn on a small heater if it turns out I need it.  Also need to figure out what oscillating fans to buy to move the air around in the tent.. As you say, it is going to get hot up top.. .. I told myself that growing tomatoes in the house was not worth it.. but here I am spending more money then we would ever eat in tomatoes this winter    Oh and they won't be ready till March at this rate! 

airscapes , I always say that growing stuff in AGs is a hobby! I don't have to justify the cost if I'm having fun with it!


The fact that we grow lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, peppers, and other veggies that taste fresher and better than store-bought is just a bonus!

I don't think I could forget.. even if I wanted to!  It is going to take up a good chunk of what little open space is left in my basement..   I am down there daily for this and that so no chance.. Man, Inflation is really kicking.. 6" oscillating fan $47..  3 shelf wire rack that was $25 in Feb is now $42..  Say What!
Time to hit the thrift stores.. 

Should have opened the box yesterday.. they only sent me the tent, no ventilation kit and of course no one was working today.. 
So I set it up. Was not impressed with just the skinny metal rods assembled, but once the cover went on, it got much more solid.. 
Will see what happens with the missing parts.. may ask them to upgrade me to a 6" fan kit since they ruined Christmas!! 

It was actually easier than it looked once I saw it done.. and I really don't have room for it.. this is going to be in the way soo much..

It really was about as easy as he made it look once I figured out the longest rods were not the same as the longest rods in the picture on the instruction sheet, there were letters printed in very light color on the rod that matched the instruction written word.

Not Christmas Eve  3am Christmas Morning the mail came in!   And yes, I sent them a very nice mail thanking them for getting back to me on the holiday as I did not expect to hear from them till next week.. In a way I am again disappointed,  had they actually screwed up the order,  I was going to ask for an upgrade to the 6" kit, even if I had to pay a little more.  I am concerned that the 200CFM 4" fan will not be enough .. I don't plan on using the filter as there is no stink from tomatoes, so hopefully without the filter restriction it will move enough air to keep edema at a minimum.   Still need to figure out an oscillating fan for the inside, the Vivosun unit is out of stock and I think a bit inflated in price.. I can probably find something up in the attic that will work! 

They only give you 2 cross bars for hanging the fan and lights.. found some 1/2" tubing in the garage and designed and printed hooks so they work just like what came with it.. should have fan and lights up by Monday, hope the sees show up in Mondays mail !!
