What would you say the advantages of a tent over a room ? Time of construction/deconstruction is the only thing I can come up with. If he’s looking at doing a 10 lighter.

faster, cheaper and easier than building a few rooms. Also faster to disassemble in the event of an emergency.
You can buy some pretty big tents.

Better hit the road, big day today and I'm not motivated.

The major problems with tents is there’s no insulation,ceiling height depending on which lights are being used,access to the plants. For a veg space maybe they could be a good idea but a if you did a stud wall with foam insulation and panda film fixed directly to the frame no cladding would be needed would allow you to build the size room you need and it’d be very close if not cheaper per m3 than tents and a jerry can of petty and a lighter will get rid of it pretty quick in an emergency;)

That to me sounds gd
U just keep gogo to keep the soil working
You would still need a reasonable soil mix to start with but a healthy basic mix would be sufficient

1/2 Cup per cubic foot the following: (125g per 28 litres)

* Neem Cake and/or Karanja Cake (NPK, Micro Nutrients and reported Bug Defense all in one)
* Kelp Meal (NPK, Micro Nutrients, Growth Hormones and many other benefits)
* Crustacean Meal (Crab and/or Shrimp Meal) (Calcium, Nitrogen and Chitin along with other benefits)


4 Cups per cubic foot of a mineral mix:(1kg per 28 litres )

1 Cups Glacial Rock Dust (diverse assortment of minerals)
1 Cup Gypsum (Calcium and Sulfur)
1 Cup Oyster Shell Flour (Very available Calcium to help buffer PH of the Peatmoss)

That’s the latest version as far as I know of C.C’s mix crustacean meal is the only one that you might have trouble sourcing for a reasonable price.

I go through maybe 30-50 mud crabs a year. I should start keeping all the shells. I put one in the compost roughly once a month.

Not sure how gd neem is for mites but when u do spray spray as sun is not hitting the plants otherwise they will burn.
..pyrethin works ive used it but it never completely eradicated em just keeps numbers down in my exp.
There' a few shops around bunnings mitre 10 etc that stock mite insectides that work well but would never use in flower this far only in veg u could use them with success.
Takes a few sprays over a few weeks to win the battle
I had them on my black dog last yr but refused to spray as they were just starting to flower
