Just wanted to post this budget attic grow

lawl3ssGrow1 · 2025-09-10T07:21:51-0600

Just wanted to post this somewhere, very cheap attic grow room.

24 25L autopots w/400 litre rez
15 11L fabric pots (hand watered)

Decided to set this up on a whim with my other grows currently at week 6 of flower, week 4 of flower and week 2 of flower.

Everything done on a budget with a few rolls of reflective insulation, a few reflective sheets and a few rolls of reflective ducting tape, a lot of gorilla tape, some screw hooks and some cable ties.

I still have a few late seeds (currently germinating) to add in hence the 6 empty pots.

Posting randomly since my last post was during my first grow lol, might update as these come on.

This tent is autoflowers

Autopots and autoflowers are meant for each other ! Looks great !

My second autopot grow , I yielded over 2 lbs from 2 autos in 9 gallon autopots with coco .

I’m planning on doing lso next run with my autopots - right now I’m playing with dwc , and building a rdwc system as well!

Nice, I should have been clearer I haven't actually done autos in the autopot yet those ones are photos the pics and message saying "this tent is autos" have sent separately. I currently have a tent with 8 photoperiods, another with 9, another 2 with 4 each, one with 6 and then a last tent with 9 autoflowers. This one is 24 autopots with photoeriods and now Im up to another 20 to be hand watered. I might run the autopot with autoflowers next time around though.

I couldn’t recommend it more . I was skeptical at first and unless you’re going medium-less , I don’t believe there’s a better way to grow killer autos and have massive yields .

If you’re on instagram , check out autopotamus. He’s the entire reason I switched to autopots for my autos . I’m currently running ohotoperiod in dwc , but the second I have the urge to pop some of my night owl collection , I’ll be running the autopots again for sure .

Keep up the good work !!

Them flexi tanks increadibly fragile. I used to only use those but one popped a hole and luckly only slow leaked. I just use them for runoff and try to keep mostly empty. I want something else tho.

Will definitely check it out , I might even buy a smaller autopot system and stick a few autos in it

It came with the rest of the autopot system, figured I'd get at least a few uses out of it lol, I had looked at the more solid plastic water butts though. Probably also won't fill the full 400L of the flexi tank as the weight might be a bit much, don't want the ceiling below caving in lol.

I wished they were better because its hard to find something that can truly safely hold 25 gallons or more. There are these hazard trash drums I used to see people use will probably do that. Solid thick plastic. I use 5 gallon buckets but have to replace all to a food grade as the bottoms are all cracking, displaying how heavy water is. The current buckets too thin.

Buckets are pretty thick too lol. I wouldnt use a trash bin I think theyre even thinner than a food grade bucket or just too thin for hundreds of pounds pushing at it. People do it tho. My grow would be permenantly shut down if I let a huge flood happen, would have to live somewhere else to grow. Landlords aint gonna allow that again if that happens, who would?

It's not legal where I am anyway, but in the case of the tank bursting I would just have to poke a hole in the roof and blame the weather it rains here a lot lol, I might try and reinforce the flexi tank somehow or just switch it out but as its brand new I would like to think it would last a little while at least.
You can buy water storage butts on amazon etc that are around 200-250 litre and relatively cheap
