Gastanker's 50 plant double tent grow

Gastanker · #1 09-29-2009, 08:35 PM

Raids up north (mendo/humbolt region) have kicked into full swing with dozens of choppers in the sky so I unexpectantly received 50 clones a couple days ago a bit ahead of schedule - I guess ill have to start a new journal.

This is a medical grow if anyone cares. 3 patient collective with 30 plants per person in our county so we are currently under the limit.

I'm growing in a 6x15' room with one 4x4 tent and one 4x8 tent. Plans are to have three 1000 watters going (two in the 4x8 one in the 4x4 if not obvious).

Clones are blue dog - blue dream x ? as well as a few of something else. Will have to ask about what they are again. They are currently in 4" square pots with Happy Frog soil. No idea when rooted but they definately have a way to go before repotting.

Currently in the tent are two hydro farm 125-200?w CFLs (also from up North) as well as two ghetto 8 bulb CFL rigs like in my previous CFL grow. I have one small circulating fan as well as two 50 cfm exhaust fans hooked into two of my 4" exhaust sleeves, one on the floor and one hanging high.

This is what i've spent so far

$100 Supplies to build room - 2x4's, plywood, tar paper, roll roof... (I only paid part as I totally rebuilt my friends room for him)
$110 Tent off ebay
Home Deopt:
$13.48 50 cfm fan
$13.48 50 cfm fan
$0.94x2 extension cords
$8.46 Surge protector power strip 2 pack
$3.50x2 Timers
$2.48x14 Y splitters
$12.97x2 Heavy duty clamp light
$114.93 Home Depot total
$21.75 Three CFL 4 packs (cant find cases of 6500 like they have for 2700)
$346.68 Total so far

Here are pics from yesterday and will post pics of how it currently looks tomorrow.

What kind of tents are you using? This should be a sweet grow

Thanks! I went with the cheapest I could find for the first go around. http://cgi.ebay.com/Hydroponics-Tent...d=p3286.c0.m14

Thats the 4x4 and the 4x8 is pretty much the same but with 6" exhausts instead of 4" (thank the lord).

I was surprised how nice this thing is. Very heavy duty material unlike what I thought I might end up with considering the price. The top bars used to suspend items are alittle fimsy but so far are holding quite a bit considering. With the lights in that room off and the lights in the tent on you see a faint glow around the zippers however the room stays pitch dark otherwise - cant even find the light switch without help from a cell phone or flash light. Easily easily worth $100 especially when alot of people are spending more to build simple plywood boxes.

Forgive me for the cord mess

First dark pic is the room with tent lights on and room lights off. Pretty fing dark - tent def keeps most of the light in. The red dot is my surge protector.

Other strain in there is Mr. Nice Guy. Not sure what particular strain unless there was an original.

Would love to setup a legit large scale CFL grow with columns of lights enclosed in clear tubing but these will be split up and are going under HIDs. 15 plants will stay in the 4x4 under 1000w and the rest will be in a 4x8 tent under 2kW HPS

Looking bad ass. I really want to start going with tents. I have always built my own shit. Take a look at my grow in sig. 50 plants is awesome. My wife and I are caregivers and trying to accumulate patients, it has been a long journey, but we are getting things under way. I am looking at doing a collab grow with some other caregivers. Good luck, Keep up the hard work
