Few questions about my brand new Indoor Tent

It will comfortably accommodate two plants. I would highly recommend using the SCROG technique to increase yield and avoid over head conflicts with your lights. Tents are made for indoor use. The more light the better.

 

The vents on the bottom are just that "vents". You will want to open 1 or 2 of those for positive airflow. Heat rises, so new, fresh air in bottom. Old air vented through top.

 

A. The extra Mylar is for whatever you want. You can repair, cover vents, wrap pots or ducting, etc.

B. I fit 3 smaller plants comfortably. The picture posted shows a 2x4 with my plants in early flower. 5 gal soft pots. Almost 1:1 gram to watt on my first go around. You could fit 2 large plants easily. Training will help.

C. Go with 3 boards and run them at a lower wattage. More efficient, better spread, less heat. Refer to my picture.

D. Be careful for light leaks. You can’t just pop the vents open in a sunlit room or you will have light leaks. The bottom left vent in my tent is open to a cardboard box velcroed to the exterior. The interior of the box is sprayed black, filled with polyfill, and the intake hole is covered in prefilter material. No light leaks and decent filtration (one of my dogs lives in there) with a 4” intake.

E. I have mine indoors and venting out a window. You could keep it outside if your temps are good and you filter the air at the intake. I wouldn’t want outdoor air being sucked into my tent without at least a carbon pre-filter on the vents (mold, pollen, etc). Again, be careful for light leaks. It’s not really insulated, and any sunlight will heat the tent up quick. I tried outside at first, and only 4 hours of sun took my temps to 95f.

Hope this helps.

 

I like the box over the vent idea! Im gonna try that. Thanx

 

You need to think about your questions , like how many plants ?
That question really depends on what strain and how big you plan on growing the plants .
I have two 4x8x 7.5 ft tall tents in operation and a walk in closet . Old style Light house hydro tents .
One tent is continuously in flowering , and almost to the point both tents will be full time flowering tents.
Sativa dominate plants like Amnesia Haze or white widow its 2 plants per 4x8 tent .
Indica dominate strains like Berry White its 3 to 4 plants …..
But here is the difference between my operation and most tent growers .
I grow medium to larger plants then most indoor tent growers.

Because I have several grow areas/rooms/tents/walk in closet I veg/train my plants for 10 weeks .
Normally I get very full plants with a hundred or so cola's if its a sativa .
