Hello all.
I have been real biz at work lately and today i got off to build my grow tent.
It took about 90min to build and cost $47. to make.
Here is what i used.
6 10Ft pices of 1/2" pvc pipe
pvc fittings
white duck tape
about 10' of velcro
a 10' X 10' panda film
Hacksaw "to cut the pipe"

It is 69" tall 29" wide and 22" deep.

I am going to run a duct from my air vent too the tent and put a canister filter in it next week with a small "maybe two" fan in it.

What's up weseal - Very cool man. Wish I had the space for something like that - my closet is such a bitch to get in and out of. Mind if I ask where you got your supplies? Just curious... And, is that a CFL? Always interested to hear about other cfl'ers. Just my 2 cents here bro, but - your res is BLACK man! VERY black. Looks too small to be a DWC; Ebb and Flow? Anyway, you should cover it up with some of your leftover panda film. It's gonna get HOT, and steal alot of light from your plants. Also, as you probably know by now, the panda film is NOT lightproof. I discovered that the hard way. Don't get me wrong - I love the panda: somewhat cheap, easy to work with, and pretty tough. When I used it to block any light during flowering though, I was shocked to see how translucent it actually is. Just remember that when you go 12/12 man. Best of luck to you bro! Good growin, PEACE

OH - Your seeds are showing their first set of leaves - why haven't you put them in the system yet??!

I like it.
Don't you think 'None soil' Grows look so...Modern.

Are you going to be adding some in/out take fans?
Or are you leaving it as that?
