    your going indoor??? good for you man! I don't wanna see post of you being bit by a rattler.... I would highly suggest the grow ace.com tents. The small one they make for $150 looks great and I will be ordering my own very soon. PM me and I can get you 10% off even... so its not going to be much more then the one your picked but much steadier and vents are better. overall just a better tent i promise.

    btw i have the same acute meter you picked out and seems to work well. I will say the temp on it doesn't adjust super fast and its maybe 1-2 degrees and 1-2% off on humidity... i know this b/c i checked it using my $200 prob that is highly accurate. for $10 the acu rite is great though

    haha yep thats exactly why i decided to go indoors. tired of fckin with snakes! i live out in the country on 5 acres of land but i have neighbors on each side so i cant comfortably grow in the backyard.. i mean i could start a veggie garden and throw a plant in there with them but couldnt just have a strict weed farm lol. Once weed's legal best bet ill have some outdoor plants in the backyard no doubt, I love growing outside. My backyard is perfect for it no trees nothing but sunlight from sunup to sundown. I'm about to bring my plants to the house and let them finish off here i think they only have 2-4 weeks left so i wont have to worry about getting caught to much lol. Until then i am waiting till i gather up the cash (might be a little bit) or just buy a few things every paycheck. Idk how much my auto's now are gonna be yielding but i bet they give off more than an oz a plant since it's outdoors and im gonna let them finish properly so i oughta have plenty of smoke to last me till i get this new little outfit up and running. I'm excited!! My closet is perfect for it.. & yeah man ill give em a look and ill let you know what i decide.. budget is really an issue though as work is slow right now and im making enough to pay the bills and have a little bar money lol.. (looks like im gonna have to stop going to the bar for awhile :p).. i wish it wasn't so far away from tax time

    I wouldn't skimp on the tent b/c you know you will use that over and over and over... I think you could go with the cheaper light or go to CFLs for this grow inside... Me personally opinion would choose the cheaper LED. Then also you can make you own carbon filter pretty easy and even make one that refills with activate carbon. I wouldn't make a fan just buy one the grow fans are cheap. then last the timer and ropes well i got my timer for $4 and ropes $1-2 at home depot. cheap cheap cheap. I bet you can get out under $300 maybe $250

    the 159$ one is to big for my closet by 4 inches :/ idk if i could squeeze it in or not? from wall to wall its 44 inches wide in my closet :/  and the 159$ one is a 48 inch wide and i like this one from growace i just dont like the fact im losing room compared to my other tent.. the one i posted above has a 4 1/2 star rating.
    http://growace.com/grow-tent/yield-lab-32x32x63-reflective-grow-tent.html this is the one that would fit comfy in the closet but it's not as big as the other one i initially posted.

    I mean you seem like a handy guy all you would need to do is take the 4 metal cross poles and cut them down a little with a hack saw. then probably tape or figure out a way to make the tent taught again on the slightly smaller frame. I would get the bigger one and mod it to fit your closet.

    Oh man they have a memorial day sale and i used my 10% off code! Order the 48 x 24 x 60 grow ace tent for only $107 shipped to my door!! great deal. even if i don't use it till next year it won be any cheaper then that 
     
  10. #10 SomeRandomNewb, May 26, 2015
    Yeah i was already gonna reinforce that other tent.. Idk we will see what i get when time comes lol im just trying to get my shit together for when it does. I also plan on building a scrog in the tent out of 3/4" pvc which will be super easy. :D
     
  11. #11 SomeRandomNewb, May 26, 2015
    if i had 107 to spend i'd probably get on it :p i wish this damn rain would quit dude its starving me! working heavy equipment on muddy slopes = very dangerous :/ been getting 10-30 hours a week when usually im getting 50-60 lol... big big downfall lol. if my now growing plants are pretty danky i might use a plant or two to sell and get everything i need.

    Steer clear of that hydrofarm timer you picked.  Notorious for staying turned on, I sent one back and had another do it. Got fed up and went to Lowes and have had 100% success so far with a Ultitech Heavy-Duty Appliance Timer #0611422 they carry.

    Yea I don't think I will find that nice of one for less than that shipped. I would tell you I would order two and then ship you my second one if i didn't use it but honestly by the time i reship it the 10% code brings it to $135 shipped without their sale it will probably be a wash. Ill let you know when mine arrive if it looks like something you could modify by 4 inches and still have a good tent. (pretty sure you can)
     
  14. #14 SomeRandomNewb, May 27, 2015
    No doubt you got a good deal my man. When will ur tent & everything be ready 2 rock & roll? & Im sure ill make up my mind by the time its time to get this going lol.
     
  15. #15 SomeRandomNewb, May 27, 2015
    Ill look into it forsure thanks a lot man. How much was it?
     
  16. #16 12valve, May 27, 2015
    $17, they had cheaper mechanical ones but I favor digital. 
     
  17. #17 SomeRandomNewb, May 27, 2015

    So i think the tent will be here in a week or so and i never actually went a head and moved my autos outside.... So maybe Ill just leave my one main plant outside and then put my autos in the tent!?? Ideas?? See I can't have any smell in my home so think if i only have 3 little autos and a 6 inch carbon filter Ill be good? The autos are budding already and honestly you can't even smell them in the box(gotta stick your nose like up to the plant to smell it) and i have ZERO filter. just some fans. It must be the strain I'm growing.....

    yes last night i decided im going with the 700 watt and the 39x39x70 tent package mar's is going with [​IMG]
    this is it http://www.mars-hydro.com/mars-ii-700w-and-grow-tent-3-3-x3-3-x5-11.html
    it say's it draw 300-380 watts? i know led's only use about half of the actual wattage it says it is but whats draw power mean? either wayy even if it is just 300 watt's ill only be doing 2 plants at a time and they sure will love 300 watts all to themselves. have some nice yields. 
    dang really no smell? i walk up to the plot and im already smelling them and i cant even see them yet lol. and im never gonna bring an outdoor plant into my tent once i finally get started.. im gonna keep that bitch super clean
