Customising a small grow tent

[Pablo]

Right as some of you know i am about to attempt my first coco grow under LED's,
The only problem i had was i already had a grow in my 1.2x1.2 tent,
And also the only space i have left in my garage measures just 3 x 2 foot that was occupied by my old small propagation tent that did not have the height so to the drawing board it is,
So with limited materials i came up with a small plan of using the old tent but being able to extend the height if needed also the smaller the space the easier it is to heat (and that can be a problem in a garage) so i could start it small then add sections as the plants get bigger somthing like this.

That sounds a damn fine idea if you ask me, it makes a hell of a lot of sense especially like you said when it comes to the heat side of things plus you will more or less be able to keep the lady/ lady’s in a more or less equal environment as they grow. As in the free space around them. I think it’s a cracking idea but the again I ain’t no brain surgeon I’m more of a rocket scientist lol ohh this is the little number i got my eyeballs on for the future talking of the world of LEDs

Ok so lets get this plan on the go!!!
Right managed to find an assortment of timber i had lying around and srarted putting the small extending pieces together.











So made sure the tent fits and cut the floor out of the tent.

Ok so next step i was going to paint the inside with flat white paint but then i would have to wait for it to dry!!! And i cant wait!! Lol
Then i remembered i had some reflective roll lying around.



So time to start lining the inside of the sections will do them separately incase i want to remove a section at anytime,
Also i used a large staple gun to fit.
In the bottom section the base is raised around 6in off the ground and will have a 1in layer of thermal board layed under the base tray.











Ok give me 10mins next up is the fitout.

awesome idea, great execution!

Right to utilise all of the space in this tent i have a couple of ideas,
The light hanger including the LED light takes up around 450mm so i placed a old piece of wood on the top of the tent then drilled a small hole at the centre point strait down into the tent. Then took the caliper link off and thread the cord down into the tent then hung the light straight on to the roll hanger link.





This has now given me around an extra 6in on the internal hight.
As regards to the fan i will drop the filter down through the ducting hole in the top and place the fan on the top.





So now just to add the small internal fan and a digi temp and humidity meter.

There thats the light installed.


Will be useing small 8ltr fabric pots for this grow,
Now just to order the coco and the nutes and i am all ready for my first coco and LED grow,
And with this grow thanks to LED grow shop UK i will be doing a full review on the HLG 135W (150W) QB V2 RSPEC LED light and the Apera PH1 Pocket pH Tester Kit.
