Hey all, I've got some interesting things going on hoping to share with everyone. This thread will be an open journal of the progress in an extremely stealthy DIY grow tent I made myself from PVC piping as a frame and Poly wrap for the canopy. Hope to have you along on these endevours, do feel free to comment or share anything you would like here pertaining to growing. I can help anyone out with light leak problems, plant problems, whatever it may be and I hope that I may learn some things here as well.
So to start off I will explain the build; I have the tv in my living room on a stand center on the back wall. On either side of the tv stand are two large shelved pieced of furniture with cabinets on the bottoms. Now I could have chosen to grow directly in the cabinets without the tenT but I would have run into a lot of light leak issues. So I measured the dimensions of the interior and cut a frame to fit out of 1/2 inch pvc. Which I then wrapped with a pandafilm/ Poly wrap which is great stuff that reflects and keeps light leaks minimal. Here are some pictures so you get the idea
I have two cooling fans running from the back for intake and exhaust. Overall temps stay right and this thing is two weeks underway in use. I have had company over multiple times with everything running as we all sir on the couch watching tv and you would never know it was there.
So my plans with this cab are ultimately to run a two plant Scrog. Right now it is full up with many different strains vegging to go outdoors for the season in a few weeks. I will be picking my favorite Sour Diesel and Hash Plant plants to flower with in another few weeks as well. I'm running a bunch of different strains right now some of which include:
-Malawi Gold (100% Landrace Sativa)
-Crossroads (100% Sativa)
-Griego Del Oró (100% Sativa)
-Great Northerner (80% Sativa)
- Grapefruit (100% Sativa)
-Wild Thai (100% Sativa)
-Strawberry Cough
-Strawberry Cough x Blueberry (Huckleberry)
-Strawberry Cough x Durban Poison
-Strawberry Cough x Jack Herer
-Sour Diesel
-Blueberry
-c99 x LSD
-Afghani
-Zulu Skunk x Wild Thai
As you can see I have quite a collection of strains
For medium they are all in my own mix of 20% perlite, 20% vermiculite amended into an organic loamy soil I picked up from the store. For nutrients I use the Advanced Nutrients Grow, Bloom, and Micro lineup along with Superthrive.
The oldest plants in the cab are 12 days old today and I am waiting on one more set of leaves before starting to train and top them. Well here they are. Again feel free to drop in with feedback the more the merrier here I could use some good company. Cheers
