I used round pots like those before, and they are phenomenal, especially for grow tents. I just ordered square ones off amazon... i am hoping to fit them all together, and have all the pots touching, so that microbes and nutrients can move from pot to pot... basically the idea is to use it as 1 solid no-till garden that is sectioned off. And im gonna have it all inside a grow tent. Hoping it works like I am expecting! Just have to be very careful not to overwater

New to this channel. New to grow tents and i door gardening. I have so many questions but I'll just ask a couple. #1 what type of intake fan do I need. I already have the carbon filter and exhaust fan. #2. How warm do you keep it inside the tent.
@indoorgardeningguy166824 күн бұрын
@@devildawgprepper Thank you for watching! You do not need an intake fan; just open a couple of vents that are located along the bottom edges of most tents. The exhaust fan will pull the air through the tent and draws fresh air from the open vents. The exhaust fan speed plays the role of regulating temperature inside as well. I have a digital thermostat connected to the fan and have my high temp limit set at 24C/75F. The fan adjusts its speed to control the tent temperature. I have the fan defaulted to a lower speed 24/7 so it exchanges the air even when lights are off and temperatures drop inside. Let me know if you have any more questions as I am here to assist 🌱
