No I don't why?

Well would help to know night/day, lights on/off temps, also depends on where you have installed this space, Mylar is made to reflect light not sure about insulation properties plus if not airtight heat/moisture will escape from wherever and go the external space
 
it will hold good enough to separate it as its own area. u should just do smaller plants in that area. something like that I would use just a 1 gal.
 
How well the tent holds heat and humidity will depend in large part on how much air is exchanged. How well is your tent sealed for light and - if it's an issue where you are - odor?

The autoflowers are supposed to get 60cm and someone said to put them in 5gal instead of 3.
 
The homemade tent certainly looks the part. I think you did a good job with the Mylar walls. In my factory-made tent, the floor is also reflective, though. It might not hurt to add some Mylar there, even though much of the real estate is covered by the pots.

I agree that soil looks questionable. For indoor grows, I'd recommend getting some proper bagged soil (organic is my preference) if you aren't already using it. Also, adding extra Perlite is helpful for retaining nutrients and improving drainage. I mix about 1/3 Perlite with 2/3 soil personally. It works great.

Also, if this is a Photoperiod cannabis plant, light leaks can be a big deal. For Photos, you have to maintain 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness during Flower. I'd work on sealing it off better if that is an issue.

Unless they're in a cold environment, I'd worry less about heat and humidity than I would about light and stink.

Is this your first grow?

Will keeping your plants in 100% darkness be a problem? If the plants are autoflower, no problem. If they're photoperiod, you'll have to get close to 100% to properly flower them.

Are you in a place that someone smelling your weed isn't a problem? Even tho I have a charcoal filter, my kids still walk into my house and say, "Dad, your house smells like weed." :)

I have purchased organic soil it's in the pot that doesn't have a sprouts in it but that's are autoflowers so I don't think the photoperiod will be a problem.

Yeah thier autoflower but my housemates should be ok will the smell lol.
 
is that a ts600 you got there? if so, you will only grow one plant well unless you keep them very small and well trained. 60cm tall at harvest, are they royal queenseedsor joint doctor seeds??
 
I love how someone asked for advice on there tent and a couple people blast OP for his soil. How about some constructive criticism you dick heads?

Should work OP. Unless you have something else nearby and its on a different lightcycle, having it open air type isnt a big deal. It actually will allow the plants to breath better.

I agree I was out of line there. I take a few tokes and suddenly I am a dirt expert. Really, the soil looks fine. The tent itself should have been the focus (which you did a good job on by the way) and I do apologize Roylahey.

I wasnt trying to call you out like that either, my bad.

Idk. With all of the shit going on I've been a little fired up. I usually just keep that shit to myself. My apologies as well.:weed:
 
It’ll work fine as long as temp and humidity are okay in the actual room. I built something similar for my medicinal herb garden.
