Anyone use GT205 NFT system in a 80x80 tent?

[ganjagunman]

These 205's measure 70x40cm, so technically two would fit but would they? Not sure whether to trust the measurements or not obviously lengthways two of them at 70cm each will fit its the width will be 80cm same as the tent wasnt sure if it would be too much of a squeeze.

Reason I ask, im going hydro come new year and was going to buy a larger 100 litre GT100 and suitable size tent off a friend for a good price but he's sold it to someone else now. The tent he had was a rare 120x120x180 which I liked as the 120x120x200 I had before about touched the ceiling and really daunted the room ( have my setup in my bedroom) . If I stick to my original plan with the GT100 and the 120x120x180 tent its going to cost upwards of £250 and the GT100 pretty much touches all 4 sides of the 120x120, I already have one GT205 a friend is using (never got to try it for size in my 80x80) I was just thinking that if i could have done 8 - 10 plants in the GT100 I could just buy another GT205 kit for around £40 (so I have 2) and still do 6 - 8 plants in my 80x80 and save myself £200 or so. Would also only be using 40 litres of water as opposed to 100 litres so that would also save on nutes aswell. I only plant to grow short/medium height autoflowers, I have 7 in there in the minute in pots.

Thanks people

if they fit the go for it I reckon. With a little DIY and a few plumbing parts you could even link the reservoirs.

I've just upgraded from the same size tent, did 3 photos in it but can't imagine doing 8 plants in it! you know your autos tho.

They are a bit sall the 205 for that amount if plants I have 2 x 605 an used to grow 6 max on them unless a was doing sea of green
If u do 4 on each u prob talking 10-24 days veg then flower as they will just crowd each other out

Ta mate, will defo be doing autos. Got 7 in there in soil at the minute in varying types, couple of afghans, a northern lights big bud couple of sugar mangos, plus a pepsi plant and a auto ive topped to fuck lol, was hoping if i stayed with the same strain then id be okay

If it helps, I have gt205's and they measure 70x40 bang on.

I think after seeing how wild 7 autos have gone in there in soil i maybe better off with the next tent up ( 100x100 ) when it sucks in with door shut squashes all the plants.

If this is your first hydro attempt I think your setting the bar quite high. The reason for this is your using loads of different strains in the same res. all strains feed at different levels so you can't adjust the feed separately like you could if they were in separate pots.

I'd probally start start with doing all the same strain.

Something I'd say about NFT is watch the res temps and PH/EC flux. Get the biggest res you can
