    Stupid question really

    In a grow tent what’s your best way to raise the plants to allow run off to catch in the trays below ?

    I was thinking some house bricks or something with strong wired grills to make some sort of shelf

    Thanks in advanced

    I would change this design a little if I did it over again, but overall I've been happy with it. Like Bud said, definitely remove your runoff from the tent. Would only cause ya problems.
