You said you want a grow tent for under $50?

PappaBear said:

Im not sure what to say lol. Cool?
It would be cheaper to build.. maybe $35 with extra materials left over.
Than you would have more money to put towards your grow.

Also, I posted a mylar 4x4 tent for the same price or $82.. not sure

Did you have a question?

Well I grow in DWC so having a floor that can hold water in the event of leaks or spills really helps. Good information here in the thread and + rep to you but for me I didn't have the tools so settled for one that came ready to assemble

Thanks buddy, your right if no tools then you would have to find an easier way.
I find it exiting to do a new project and needing a new tool. Harbor freight with those ridicules coupons.
Basicly all power tools are $10-15 and hand tools for $10 and under.. you cant go wrong.

sweet info thanks. i'm probably gonna scale this up and build one like this for flowering in a month or so.

Sounds great, remember if you chose an 8x8 tent use 2x4's

Just wanted to post a quick replay and thank PappaBear for this thread. Matter of fact I registered today so I could see the photos. I am not a stranger to horticulture by any means but I have never used or built a box or tent (well nothing this small). Iv been reading and taking notes for about a month now. I was appalled at the price ranges for grow tents and boxs. This kind of project is definitely a DIY.

Thanks buddy, I appreciate being your first post, this is definatley a project everyone should try.

I bought a Jardin grow tent and it was $235 for a 4 x 4 x 7. It is a nice tent and worth every penny, however props to PB for showing that they can be built on the cheap.

Goodjob man
+ Rep!

Very professional & easy to follow!

Jardins are great when you have the extra cash.

here's a couple pics of a pvc setup i made a couple years ago. it was cheap and easy to set up and take down. it was pretty sturdy too, i was able to do pull ups on the pvc cross beam and im pushing 200+ lbs. pvcs a nice alternative if you dont have the tools to work with wood.

how old are those plants?

3 weeks about. they are on 12/12 now.
I decided to hurry up and run these two then im going to scrog it out.

When I was alot younger I was laughed at for talking about growing with CFL, nobody believed me, than there were folks that would call me a liar and say how they grow with incandescent. Now these same people inform me of the dangers of pot with a cigarette in their mouth and on pills to make them happy, sad, to think, not think, and sleep. "Its so stupid to do drugs", they say. or the best comment ever! If it were really as bad for you as weed than cigarettes and beer would be illegal too.

Fucking idiots.

Ignorance is bliss. I made a batch of butter over he weekend. It should be enough for 4 batches of brownies. Yummmmmmm.

Haha.. Go to the store and get a single serving dessert kit, Its like a chocolate brownie cake with hot chocolaty fudge center.
It will be perfect for what you describe.

Pictures please.. show fols that dont know how it works.

If anyone is interested this is how I assemble the duct work.
This is when I use computer fans with DIY tent. Not a lot of details but the general idea is presented with pictures.
