How much that cost to build? Time spent? I wanted to build something like that but it's just not portable as a tent and I would of done the building and I needed a room ASAP.
Well i was lucky enough to have the most of the material to build given to me. (Insulation, lumber, and vapour barrier) the only expenses that were out of my own pocket was for the growing equipment and seeds. Also the wireless sensors.

If i was to add up what i payed for it is arround $400-$500.

Time spent was roughly 2 full weekends but i didnt have any 1 to help me.
I did it solo haha.
Im still doing odds and ends here and there. (I have 2 little girls and work 7am-7pm everyday during the week so its hard to find time) but im always thinking of ways to improve it.

If you have any questions or need help with your build just ask away buddie!


I was concidering buying a tent to put beside it so i would have 2 rooms.
Even tho i have the exact same space right besise it i think i would rather a tent for the second room. Only set the tent up when needed. But im not 100% out of the dog house from spending all that money just yet haha.

Laying low from the wife hehe

Pft.....I spent about $800 on my 4x4 set up and I told my wife before doing it that money is no object!! Being my first time ever growing I had a goal of growing 6 to 8 autos in a 3 month time span and yield over a pound with my 600 watt. I hit the goal and wife didn't complain at all after lol

I get very obsessive with my hobbies and I must say this has been the best time I've ever had doing something I love.

I was thinking it would be ruff having to build a room as I'm a renter and may need to tear down quickly and keep it all small, discreet and quiet. Recently had a house fire due to the chimney on the other side of the house but the tent take down and packing took only 15 or 20 minutes.

Thats pretty sweet! I ordered a "purple express" never tryed an auto b4 so i figured y not try. So far i love it. Its in flower right now. Popped the bean on March 28.
As for my wife.. she really is cool with it all, its just a joke we have going arround here.... cuz i always say ixhad to get "this or that" because it was a sic deal. Lol.... everythings ansic deal lmao.

Heres a couple pics i just went out and took. Most of these will b going outside in the veggy/canna garden once its warm enough. Very strange weather this year in Ontario. +25c 1 day then its snowing by the afternoon... wtf. Haha. Sunburn by lunch time.... frost bite by home time hahaha.

Also the last couple pics is a REG seed. "THC bomb" any 1 have any idea from these pics if its a male or female? I have a few clones starting off it i will switch to 12/12 to see but curious if any of you are able to tell from these.

Thanks RIU!

So happy to be growing again! I hope this grow comes out ok. Anyone knows what happens when you have autos in smaller size pots? Will they grow alright in 1 gallons? I'll be transplanting again soon on the solo cup seedlings. Soon to be running 5 total in 5 gallon Smart Pots and 2 in 1 gallon Smart Pots.

With auto's transplanting can stunt them, move as little as possible.
I went from paper towel to 5 gal root pouches I know this goes against
the standard for regular plants but auto's aren't regular.
The slowdown you get from transplanting can wreck the growth pattern
of a auto making them runts.
If you want to get the best from auto's plant outdoors if you can or grow in
beds inside.
I hope this helps a little.
:peace:

I wanted to get them all stright to 5 gallons but I wanted to test out different sizes and the costs that I can reduce staying in 1 gallons even. I plan on getting another set of 7 to 10 seedlings going to expand into another tent soon with another 600 watt.

Try starting your seeds in smart pots and just put the smaller pot into the larger,
that way you avoid transplant shock.

I worry about starting seeds in soil ...I feel like the rooters happen without trying or needing soil yet lol... I had no soil to start with on Earth Day after 4/20.

I had only bought one bag of soil that Friday and was short on my 1 gallons. I figured I would have 2 in 5 gallon smart pots right off the bat, 3 in 1 gallon pots (2 smarts and 1 plastic) and my final 2 seedlings in solos for a few days till I got another bag of soil.

I didn't plan accordingly as I was going to just plant into my 5 gallons but didn't have my credit card or extra cash to get more soil ...needed 3 bags for 7 plants lol

Learning experience I guess to always plan my soil needs ahead.

As a side note I was going into my storage cabinet today to grab a jar and roll one up and low and behold ...a seed on the shelf! I guess the previous renters had the same idea as a place to store weed at. I'll be starting a whole new set of babies this week with the mystery seed included!
