Hi Duncan Now that is a nice set up you have there, I have thought about a grow tent but don't really think it would be beneficial in the attic as it is dark when my lights go off. Shame about the dimmer switch not working as they are handy for when seedlings first germinate. Take care mate. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great video Duncan mate, Shame about the dimmer not working, will you get an extractor fan to help with the humidity ? the grow tent is nice and high for those onions, thats where i am struggling at the minute, for height. Might have to see if i can knock myself a shed or something up to put a high grow tent or grow box. Your leccy bill must be sky hight with all the lights, heat mats etc 😂😂
@CoastalGardensNW8 күн бұрын
I got a replacement for the light the next day at the moment I just keep the door open at the bottom seems to do the trick but an extractor fan ore two would be ideal wil probibly need it once the tents are full, I'm on pay as you go with electric so don't realy notice the difference but ye we use alot here lol
