Has anyone created a makeshift darkroom for a single plant? If so can you share how you designed it?

I have a single grow space, and having the ability to put at least one plant into a darkroom (space) while the other plants are vegging is going to be necessary. I'm looking for a very low budget set up.


any info that can be shared is appreciated, thanks!

use staple gun or something, staple a plastic tarp in the shape you need on your ceiling, with the opening get velcrow with the sticky side and attatch to open and close. for circulation small fan with panty hose on darkest side of the dark room..a construction type blower works best, you just wanna watch humidity air circulation isnt that important at night

Thank you both. I will put your suggestions into my "design" this weekend.

I have a monster plant that I started 20 days before my other 4 plants, and "she" (i hope its a she) is definitely ready to move into flowering stage.

Presently she's 5 wks old, 18+ inches tall and still growing like a weed under 24/0. I will upload some pics by Sunday.

Click to expand...
OR, a garment box from a storage place, or U-Haul with the handle holes taped up.
They are about 2 foot square, and around 4 foot tall.

for single plant flower rooms, you couldl do a tiny rubbermaid stacked, or a cardboard box lined with aluminum foil..i got 400sqft of black plastic sheeting for 7 bucks thats what i shape into my dark room. i staple on the ceiling it works good... but you can get a pack of 12 24 watt cfls for 12 bucks at home depot, some y splitters for a few bucks and 2 8 outlet extension cords, get socket to outlet adapter so you can directly plug all bulbs in to 2 extension cords,each 3 dollars....dark room soil lights everything under 50 bucks i try to stay super cheap

I have an old bath tub sitting outside. The tub could be turned over so there is only one short end exposed. A board on rollers could be made to slide plants in and out. This would allow small container plants to be rolled out in the sun and back in the dark for early flowering for the grower that didn't plan the last grow season right and ran out of smoke early. not me though! lol.
