10 TIPS for growing in TENTS!

[@josephrobbins8681]

Nice information, I use 2 tents and since I'm handicapped I just switch as needed for flowers and it's been working great ,,, cancer free almost a year now

[@icanthc]

Amazing!!! 2 tents can accomplish so much!!! Happy to hear your healthy and happy fam!!!! 💚

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

👏🏻Impressive. I commend you for sure. ✊🏼 your still laying it down better than us younger guys. 😅

[@michaelbessey5037]

Great job! I am disabled and wondering the distance between your tents if next to each other? Thank You.

[@icanthc]

@@michaelbessey5037 I have tents next to each other now, no problems! :) About 1 foot apart or so (if that)

[@josephrobbins8681]

@michaelbessey5037 it's 24 inches between the two and 14 inches on back and side

[@workerbee4891]

I am still pretty new to growing but so far I have been successful. One thing that I do that I find helpful is my plant 'bases'. I use 5 gallon fabric (which are 12" dia.) sitting on 12" risers, sitting in 15" plastic pans, all sitting on a 12" lazy susan. It makes plant maintenance so much easier being able to easily spin the plant 360 degrees. Plus I keep changing the plants position to change how the lights hit. This has been working nice with the smaller autos I have been growing but, of course, wouldn't work on big plants.

[@Energia-977]

That's interesting. The only problem I see is securing your plants either with a mesh or stakes. You couldn't move them then?

[@Convict2Gardener]

Have you tried scrogging. He had northern scrogger on here talking about how to do it and how he has helped veterans in wheelchairs set theirs up and they can just reach over and tend to all of them because they’re at the right level for them to be able to because of scrogging.

[@PoppaLongroach]

I've been growing in a spare room with white walls for years. Using Miracle-Gro and never got results I wanted. Recently switched soil and dimmed my lights alot lower than usual. What a huge difference. I'm getting my first tent in week or so. Already have all Mary hydro lights n fans for a 3x3 tent. Worth a try I say

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

Every single one of your tips are spot on. I’d like to add one more. Pinhole light leaks can be easily repaired with a drop of black silicone adhesive. Instant and cheap.

[@Shade_91]

i do the same thing with some black gel nail polish 👍

[@Florishh]

I found this video because I am about to order a starters growkit because yes you can buy weed in a coffeeshop in netherland which I've always done but the prices are just so high that every time I go there I feel ripped off so I'm gonna be a farmer myself, thanks for making this video it was very helpful I know which tent I should go for is gonna be a Mars hydro to start with. I'm gonna be keeping an eye on this channel so thanks again much appreciated 🙏

[@custodialgrows9481]

S hook tip is one people always forget and are a must have if growing in tents in my opinion. Glad you said it man keep them coming.

[@Madness71]

I run a 3x3 and 2.3x2.3 in my back shed, the smaller tent comes into the house for summer and runs the veg/auto cycle then goes back into the shed after summer and both tents run together for the remainder of the year. I find placing the exhaust fan outside the tent allows for more room, I also run both tents of the on exhaust through a Y piece fitted to the fan, as far as cheap tents go, I simply wouldn't do it! I use Mars Hydro tents and lights and do fairly well, however I will be trying Spider Farmer lights as they seem a little better as far as yield goes

[@dsko1dev225]

I have a marshydro 4x2. This was really helpful. Thank you!

[@BellaandBubbies]

I haven't watched this whole video yet one of the nicest things about a tent is that it is so much easier to control the environment I think than if you're doing the whole house when you're doing whole house you have to consider your comfort I'm in how the air in the heat may leak out but it's much more controllable with a tent

[@elementpik]

if you live where its cold in the winter do not place your tent (HOT) against an outside wall (COLD) it will create condensation and get moldy

[@Ddffgghhjj]

This is a new one I never thought of. Did the wall get moldy or did the tent / weed get moldy? Super curious now

[@elementpik]

@@Ddffgghhjj Tent/Flowers was fine its actually at the baseboard where tent and wall meet that got moldy the rest of the wall was fine with the 1cm gap created by the baseboard.

[@marklewis7005]

Going to try the S hooks thanks bro!

[@APG2112]

Great topic and awesome comment section. I find it very interesting learning other’s methods of getting to the finish line.Make sure the tent you are prospecting has a good zipper. Also invest in a decent wax to lubricate the zippers on your tent. If your zipper fails on your tent you are fubar.

[@wickedwonka999]

That's actually really smart, I've never thought about waxing my zippers before. Might make them fail less!

[@heavyhitter7500]

Sucks when the zipper goes out that's why I don't get cheap tents lol

[@APG2112]

[@illestnoel]

what kind of wax if you mind me askin?

[@APG2112]

@@illestnoel I use beeswax, but I’m sure a birthday or votive candle should suffice.

[@mattjohnson9226]

Great info.. Love and blessings to all..

[@ramos18210]

Sup fam I have a question about running a bigger light than what the tent calls for how do I go about setting the sensitivity??what happens to the quality of the bud if the par is too high ??

[@icanthc]

Light overkill is real, i tone it down with the external dimmer. I got a light in my 2x4 that I run at about 25% even in flower. The flowers can get light bleach , stress etc if theres TOO much light

[@rodsgeneticts716]

I run 6 4x4 tents that I just breed auto flowers for seeds now in around a month I'll be up and running for the western New York area to start then state wide by the end of 2024 then we will see from there I'm growing up with customers demand

[@sheltowee8079]

Hahahaha 🤣 I went from a corner in the living room to two tents taking the spare bedroom over love it

[@toddkump9902]

An old (I’m old…) camping tent trick was to rub a bar of soap on the teeth of your zippers…it works! 🪴🍃

[@jpdiodene9630]

I’m only 2 month into my first 5x5 grow closet so far keeping the setup cool has been a challenge. The higher the intensity the higher the heat the more fans come into play. I am beginning to appreciate the idea of lights that have open top lights and directing the heat up rather than down then up

[@Madness71]

Depending on the light, you can remove the driver and mount it outside the tent, that will help a bit.

[@derekmarks1479]

Do you have both an in-line and outline fan and a house that stays under 80 degrees?

[@bliss2392]

Consider exhausting your hot air outside. Maybe a fan dedicated to cooling down the light fixture. (Blowing above the light, pushing air towards the exhaust port.)

[@heik8275]

Good info looking to purchase tent in the near future

[@icanthc]

Heck yeah! Mars Hydro has some solid options! Discount code iCanTHC will get you a discount there too! AC has good options too, the discount code works there as well! :)

Thank you I went with 3 tents 2-4x4 & 2x4. Just setting up the 2nd 4x4. How far would you recommend to keep the backside wall off my basement wall and space between the tents. 😅

[@dawnrobbins5877]

Pick up some clamps too! You never know when you will need to secure something temporarily. And of course zip ties.

[@Skategod-cn7hp]

I’m ready for my first grow I just ordered mars hydro 4x4 I got Bruce banner and northern lights for my first grow wish me luck 🍀 🙌

[@heavyhitter7500]

Thanks for the video fam I flower my photos in a 5 by 10 and do my autos in with my veg I veg a little higher output light than most people would I just adjust the plants to where they need to be do to space issues is the main reason I do it that way

[@desertgrowthspurt]

Great information and tips brudda!!

[@icanthc]

Appreciate it fam! Always happy to help! 💚

[@joeymasterson4395]

Nice video, I love my mars hydro setup as well. 2x4 is a good size for me

[@KPrent82]

I'm in flower with my 1st ever grow so I got 4 different strains of autoflower's to start off with dry amendments and I've had a couple of bumps, I've not over watered like most 1st time growers tend to do but I did underwater 2 off my plants but managed to save them. I'm trying to figure out how it happened as I've been keeping a grow journal as I go, the only other thing I could come up with is that it could just be that 1 strain needs more water than the other strains. Any advice would be appreciated

[@Godlovesme4ever]

I had a similar experience. I'm using a ac infinity auto water and 5 gal ac infinity fabric pot. All the guessing is gone.

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

Fan placement and placement under light can radically influence transpiration. It can easily cause a 5 gallon pot to dry out in half the time of the other 5 gallon pot in a different spot in your space.

[@Cannoisseur]

Im setting up my brand new vivosun 48x48x80 YESSS BABBYYY !!! GOOD LOOKIN FAMM ! !

[@davidbryden7904]

In these smaller tents, I try to mount as much equipment outside the tent as possible (in-line fans, etc) to save space. I've just got 3 small tents (two 2 x 4's and a 2 x 2) and I've found that it is easier for me "simi-permanently" mount my lights 6 -8" below the ceiling of the tent and just use the dimmer rather than constantly adjusting the height of the fixture. I'll start at 30% (seedling) and slowly increase the intensity during veg., allowing the plant to grow to the light. With an app on my phone, I can fairly accurately calculate my PPFD & DLI, and with a bit of training I can still get a nice , even canopy, but it accommodates a stretchy-er structure or phenotype and improves air flow throughout the tent. It's been working for me, anyway! 🤷‍♂️ ✌️💚🌲🌏☮️

[@Realworldnews247]

Great tip about not packing a tent, I use 240 x 240 tent but I only cover 180 x 240 to allow room at the sides for more airflow and access for watering

[@garywillow6578]

I love my 2x4 as i can reach to the back and still walk around my room.i do not have any filters; just a big fan suspended from the top with a spider farmer 100watt light. I have 11 full sized autos in there spilling out onto a bench outside the tent as i have to keep the door open. I love my jungle and i never bother keeping a journal or even label the plants, i do everything by eye. One of those autos is a 6oz so i think i get alot from 100watts. Jungle all the way for me.

I've got condensation accumulating on the bottom of my grow tent n it gets kinda bad, to where there's small puddles if I dont clean it up every couple days. Any idea how to deal w this??

[@icanthc]

a dehumidifier might help to contain that. A mini one in the tent. You can set towels down, but if they stay constantly moist, it can cause mould and smell funny.

[@kic.gardens]

@@icanthc appreciate it homie 🙏

I mean that light leak shit is like up for grabs with me I leave my tent cracked in my storage and my ac exhaust sure is bright from the sunlight and a couple timers along with pvc stretching my tent I haven’t had many issues unless I stressed my plants by under watering or under feeding

Oh my that mars hydro grow tent plug was a little cringe 😬. I have a spider farmer, mars hydro and a cheap eBay one and from “personal experience” it really doesn’t matter. My eBay one has a few leaks but it’s 6.7ft tall which try to find one of those with mars hydro, spider farmer and vivosun.

[@torrencekrepps757]

But overall out of 4 different types of tents the gorilla tent is the best all the way around

[@allseeingguy5485]

I have a 4x4 and a 2x4 from mars hydro. I have small fans aimed down on the top of the lights to use them as a heater. I haven't needed a heater since. I highly recommend making some 15 gallon or larger living soil fabric containers. If you have a good soil mix, worms and a mulch layer, anything you plant into it will grow large and fast. Once you get everything dialed in, you don't need to feed. I water once a week, if that. It can be re used in a no till system - remove the mulch, add new organic matter, replace the mulch and plant right into it. For pest and mold control, I use em-5 mixed with quijalla 20 from build a soil for preventative spraying. It's 100% natural and gentle on the plants. It won't totally wipe pests out, but it controls their spread. It's best used during vegetative and early flower.

You don't want to use cooking oil because it will become gummy and ruin the zipper. Use powdered graphite or gun oil! The graphite comes in a little tube and costs a couple of bucks at the hardware store. ✌️
