I want a tent just so I have more room and control over temp/airflow...an ozone generator is out of my league though, you can only grow 12 plants in this state anyways...legally....

Well the way i see it if its ur own house simply put it some where were u can regulate where ppl go in yo house, and if your friends cant be trusted around ur plants then its time to make new ones buddy, but if not, then say ur training to be a flowerist or something and u want to do research on certain plants AND WHEN THEY ASK TO SEE SAY NO THEY ARE IN A CRITICAL STAGE WRIGHT NOW ITS A STERELIZED ROOM U KILL THE PLANT IF U GO IN OR NEAR IT

you could always take apart the ducting, and stack a bunch of empty boxes around it and say the room is for storage hehe

tell them its your time machine and they will turn round and say your growing cannabis. you need to have a plan when you know someone is coming round take the tent dpwn and put the plants up in the loft when they fuck off put the tent back up.

im lovin this thread right about now. on the verge of gettin a tent myself.. i have the same questions.
just wondering, how many fans do you need to run in one of those tents to keep it cool? 1 or 2. exhaust and a intake? or can you use 1?

i was under the impression that the carbon filters are made of carbon. couldnt you just crush up some charcoal and fill it back up when you the carbon filter runs out?
is there anyway you can make your own filters that fit the tent?

wassup man..High as hell and figured id jump in..lol

OK so, As far as the tent temps n shit.

You can get away with going minimal and using just one of those 150$ duct fan types. air extraction... the pull from the fan alone would bring in fresh air from the vents (if you set up the hood efficently). Of course if the tent is sitting in a room that is hot then it wont matter how many fans you got going. therefore people bring in fresh air using fans from a cool temp room.

i for one dont duct fresh air from another room.... so whatever my garage temp is at then that is what i have to work with....all i have to make sure is that the hot air produced by the light doesnt stay in the garage. summer growing is tough and expensive with ac units n shit. I would recommend growing indoors in a room that has central heat an air so you can control the intake temps easy.

I use 4 inch muffin fans that use little power. A blower would be nice but im already at max power as far as my circuit entails.. when i run new circuits i might go that route...but i must say with the fan setup i have going it works really well... Flower at night.... during the day use the power for ac if needed in the summer times...

The two intake fans are 8 inch duct fans from HD... i have the 6 inch reducers and ducting to them and they provide some good air into the tent. 1 on each side.

Then the light hole... I leave the hood open on one side.... added a fan at that end pushing through the hood and added another fan at the other end of the hood pulling from it into ducting that goes out of the tent.

the hole at top (that usually people hook up to the hood.. the side i leave open.) there i put some ducting hanging over above the hood extracting hot air that accumulates at the top... Heat rises...

Here are some pics.... 1000 words right.












Good luck

i dont tell them its anything, as soon as i started growing i changed the locks to the front door and put the tent in its own room if random people finding your tent are a real danger maybe you should give more thought to growing

No random people, just a "what if?" situation...like gee, what if the landlord or gas repair man comes in and gets a glimpse of a big black tent in a back room with light coming out of it and asks "what's that?".

put it in a room behind a locked door. no one will auto think of growing weed everyone has something worth locking up. it doesnt matter what you say it is, if its out side your risk of getting caught is 10fold, what if you were acting suspicious when you told them its a dark room, it will peak their interest and they will prob blab to everyone about what they think it is.

Hello Everyone, nice thread started here.

I'm on my way to purchase on of these tents (darkroom speifically but cant find it at my hydro store) but I heard Sun hut and Bud boxes are good too. Either way, the ability to tare this unit down in hours and pack it in a "moving box" and store it aways if anything happen (god forbid that) is the reason why I'm sticking to this route. I can also sleep knowing that I also dont have to do any repairs to the house :bigjoint:

Thats just my two cent...

The dark room thing would work for me as I love photography. I have several high end cameras, so I doubt anyone I would have over would be the wiser.
