Gypsy's 600 watt Home Made Grow Tent

Thanks... wish I had an army of them...

If you honestly want to buy instead of build, no one's here to argue with you. Here are some links to some cabinets I would buy if I actually had the money.

Huh?!?!?! I don't wanna buy anything.... I made mine at home with my own hands... $50 bucks in materials for the tent itself...


On a different note...

Wanna see something gross???

Click on the red square.... but be careful.... very graphic...

Thanks! did you mean where I found this?

At wal mart for $25 ...

i hate bugs....

I don't understand something. Why did you build that grow chamber? It seems to me that the only possible reason in the whole wide world to create such a thing would be for odor control. You would have much better grow conditions outside of the chamber if you simply had the lights hanging over the plants in your open room.

I hope that "for stealth" is not your reply. There's no way that people will be fooled into thinking that is anything ordinary. You spent a lot of money, time and energy on that thing.

If you wanted odor control, you could have simply bought some Ona Gel and gotten an ionizer. You'd have saved a lot of money.

i have got to chime in on this one, I had a friend try to deter me from building my tent , stating i would have better grow conditions without the tent , but I beg to differ! the whole reason for growing indoors is to better control the environment conditions, having a tent takes that to the next level, where you can control just the space needed to grow in and not waste energy and time with unused space.
You can control ventilation better with a smaller cubic area than with a larger room, more cost effective aswell as you use smaller fans that are cheaper.
you can control humidity better, temps, bug control
but not odor, the tents really wont help that, we are growing diggity dank you know!
NO my friend having a tent is the way to go for sure!!

Wow thats really nice! I like how its all professional then to hold up your thermometer u use duct tape LOL

But shit better then what i got! Hope it go's good for you!

Happy Grow!

Have you ever heard of light/dark schedules? The best way to control absolute dark is a tent, hands down. Or did you just join the forum to talk garbage before you read?

Hey Gypsy! Gone a long way from your aerogarden grows =)

Nice tent setup you got going, gonna be a nice harvest im sure

Btw, hows your leg?

JOU!!!! How are you????

Long time....

The leg is... still here... had another surgery last week.... so I am in bed again....

Life is GRAND though and I just cannot wait to be out and about again....

and just so you know... I am still not home in the village, I ended up renting a house in the outskirts of the big city...

Nice seeing around these parts....

Be Well....

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ok... now ...

I will pick those posts apart, but I just wanted to say that having a tent is one of the best ways to have a grow in a room that is not dedicated to growing... period...

So... I will take a couple more pills (damn pain) and dissect these here new posts until we figure out what's up and if I really wasted $50 worth of materials on building it....

see you al in a minute....

nice work buddy...really like the room idea......now if only i could find me an 8'x8' one of those wardrobe tents....i really like the metal poles instead of 2x4's......this room looks really pro man...i think everyone should use some sort of tent...no lost light...just one thought...but that little cfl you have...you should change it to a green light bulb...the only time you would need light in there is night time for them...green light won't harm or affect the growth process....but thats just my opinion

you are so wrong....think about these few things before you decide to answer a ? like this again....In an open room with just a few plants and two lights how bright is it on the side of the plants not getting light...In a totally enclosed room you waste no light whatsoever...every precious lumen is reflected off of the wall and back on to the plants....that is the reason i do the floors in my room as well...Odor control is easy with a carbon filter in a tent...100 percent of the odor air is scrubbed....If you wanna be stealth and your tent is small enough put it in your closet...no one looks in your closets....environment is also easier to control in a tent....air exchanges are made possible, less chance of bugs if you put some kind of filter in your intake...100 percent darkness for the 12hours of flowering is achievable with a tent as well....unless you can figure out a better reason for not growing in a tent i will continue growing in one as will anyone else that has grown or is growing in a tent....Im not trying to say that I know everything and you are wrong...Im just saying take a second to look at everything gained before you say its not a good idea....also im sure others feel the same way as I do when it comes to the fact that I feel more profesional and more like a labratory when growing in a clean tent that has nothing but the neccasery things in it...example,plants,fans,lights....no dirty clothes, or clutter around your baby girls....just their home for the time being.....I hate to say it but you get a big from me...but thats just the asshole in me

There are many things I don't understand either... it's ok... we are not alone...lol...

SlickPick said:

Click to expand...

I built it for several reasons... because I could was probably the biggest one... the fact that I needed one was close second...

SlickPick said:

Click to expand...

No not really... odor was and is always a big consideration... but environmental control was a biggie and of course not having my life (in my room) being dictated by a 600 watt HPS bulb....

I would like to think I am the master (smarter than) of the bulb, not the other way around...

If I want to go to sleep at 3 pm because I want to wake up super early... I can... because my tent does not leak light... in or out....

So even in my small room, with my light on... I can still have darkness for my self...

and on the other hand, I can watch a movie well past lights out without freaking out I will have a bunch of stressed out drag queens or hermies or whatever...

Click to expand...

You have no idea what kind of conditions I have outside of that chamber....

For starters... it would be waaay unreasonably COLD in the corner where they sit.... I bet it would top out at 45F during the day... but guess what? the tent does a beautiful job at doing everything I wanted it too....

Like I said you have no idea what you are talking about....

Maybe if we all lived in perfect conditions.... but then we would just grow outside right????

SlickPick said:

Click to expand...

No... I left Momma's house a long time ago.... I pay my bills and I am the master of my house hold...

If I don't want someone to know what is in my room, they are just not invited there... period...

My teenager friends are no longer teenagers, so I don't have to worry about them either.... the rotten ones have been weeded out a long time ago....

I am not trying to fool anyone.... actually I am here laughing.. toking on some of Gypsy's finest... trying to imagine of these buds could be any better if they were grown outside of the tent....

I really doubt it....

SlickPick said:

You spent a lot of money, time and energy on that thing.

Click to expand...

Let's see...

I bought a roll of Panda film for $100... I used less than a tenth of the roll to make the tent... so $10 in plastic seems fair....

I bought the wardrobe at WM... that was $25...

Ah! the duct tape... what are they 5 bucks a roll? I didn't use the 2 rolls I bought, but there is another $10...

Now the zippers were expensive $12 EACH...for a total of $24 in zippers..

Add $5 worth of velcro...

and what do we have....

let's see...

10+
25+
10+
24+
5+

= 74 BUCKS... fucking zippers...

So I am not sure what you do for a living, but in my book $74 is not a lot of money really... maybe in India or Argentina, but in America.. the Good Ol' USA.. $74 ain't shit anymore.... sorry...

Unless you mean I spent a lot of money on lights and fans and PPM meters and stuff like that...

I didn't count them because they are not tent specific and would be REQUIRED IN ANY GROW OP...

I am a FIRM believer of carbon scrubbers... my girl really likes to put gel on her hair though....

Sorry mate, I am not trying to cut corners... the tent itself does nothing for the smell...

Activated carbon works... I am sure there are other things that work too... but none will have the reliability and easy of use of a carbon filter attached to your exhaust... period...

I am still wondering on what? where? how?

where do you see waste?

The $74...???? with the way over QP I just harvested from the tent, I think those costs are offset a bit don't you think?

Oh! and this is your first post?????

I am honored... really... thanks for caring enough... I am not trying to be an ass.... maybe just a little bit.... but I just had surgery and I am heavily drugged... so I have plenty of excuses...lol....

Most people will have a first post asking for help... not shooting down a well thought out plan that has proven successful...

Thanks bro....

Duct tape is the shit.... I put it on everything.... there is some in the bandages on my leg right now... yup, I got duct tape covering 40some stitches .... but you gotta lick it before sticking to your skin... otherwise you will wish you had later.....lol....

I have even taped a tear on a small plane's wing with it once... and flew out.... that shit is amazing...

Duct tape is the most versatile tool on the planet.. aside from the Cannabis plant.... of course...

Oh Dubb... don't be so hard on the guy...

He might know more than we all do ... together....

I am sure he is seeing things from a perspective that all of us has just failed to see...

I hope he comes back and explains it a little better, I would love to be proved wrong and shown the way to success (read more success)....

Things sure have changed...lol.... for better... or bigger anyways...lol....

How have you been?

hey gypsy if you wanna save a few bucks the same zippers at home depot...thatll bring your cost down to 68 bucks for the next room..LOL....seriously fuck these clowns that think tents suckNow when you wanna build a bigger one...that leftover roll of panda will let you do an 8'x8'x6' room......just incase you ever wondered what you could do with the leftover panda

It is fairly obvious you haven't a clue. I recommend obtaining one prior to posting more.

Thanks Toke... those are kind words...

As for the little CFL... it doesn't live there anymore.... I just don't even mess with them at all in the dark period... good looking out though...

As for the poles.... there is an endless supply of products that feature steel frames like that... the plastic corners make things a breeze to set up...

and 2x4 is a bit overkill no?!?! even 2x2 seems excessive...

Now now...

Wouldn't it suck for all of us if this dude shows up here with relevant information that shuts us all up in one instant...?????

I think he is wrong, but I tried to be nice enough so that if he proves me wrong I can still have hope of redemption....

I guess what I am saying is... if I try to help someone, and before they realize I am right, they treat me like shit... my reaction will be to tell them to keep it up and walk away...

If SLICK is right, I want to know and be on his side....

But that will take some hard facts...

other than that... I think that it was one of the most idiotic posts I have had on one of my threads.... (SORRY SLICK.. just keeping it real)

Sorry about the round of surgeries there man. Hope you are doing well. Set up looks slick as all hell. Ive been busy changing some things up with my op. I think I finally found the best "way" for me...LOL

i use 2x4's just because they are cheap and the fact that i use 8" fans or bigger for all my exhaust's....my walls really,really,really pull themselves in....so I have to duct tape and staple my panda down...otherwise the walls would just be sucked in..If i were to use poles im not to sure on how i would secure my panda yet since i already know that duct tape is not strong enough to hold the panda together for me...ive been contemplating steel poles for awhile though
