After seeing the high prices of grow tents i decided to go with a cost effective DIY-but-not-ghetto-rigged tomato?box..
Check out my album!
I purchased a polyurethane plastic on a roll, various pvc pieces and pvc pipe, duct tape(blk), duct fan(i bought aluminum but it SUCKS i needed insulated DUH! on my part), I also bought timer, light and etc etc. etc.
bascially i constructed a basic frame and 'wrapped' with polythane its durable to it supprts aluminum duct that has bathroom extract. of course top face of box has middle pvc support for light hanging -
I think its gonna be one hellofa tomato growing box
This is the box before it was fully wrapped
I wrapped the box completely then cut out a big hole and then made like a cover that is secured at the bottom and the edges are folded so they fit nicely over the edge of the box and all around the cover is velcro that secures the removable door/cover thing that I made... Pretty nifty , it is 100% light proof not a lick of light shows..
The vent system wrapped with bedfoam stuff? lol
Everything is ducted taped severly and securely. I have PLENTY of space this thing is like damn 5.5 ft tall and 3 ft wide 2ft deep... i designed it for closet grow but my subconscious mind somehow made it bigger??? lol in other words i miscalculated because of the pvc fittings adding extra length oh well
if you find this post informative give me some rep or kudos w/e lol
and build one yourself!! it beats spending 200 on tent
i spent in whole including dimmer, fan, duct, tape, plastic, pvc, = $120
and thats not bad for something that is able to be designed to fit your space needs
this post is getting redicuously long time to end my friends
