is there any tape that you could use for light leaks on grow tent?

[chewberto]

I have a gorilla grow tent and there are some small leaks coming through.. what can i use to cover the zipper seams all the way around that wont ruin the tent or leave residue? Also i want to do co2 so a good seal? Other suggestions are welcome as well?

I would use gorilla tape and gorilla glue for my gorilla tent

Yea bro do that like measure the size of leaks and cut the poly that size then put it over the leaks and on each end barely put a small piece of tape to hold the poly so your tent material dosent get messed up.

i dont think you have to worry about Co2 leaking out of the small holes in the zipper, sure it will leak but probabally not enough to matter.

my 2¢

Its more than the zipper but i hear ya..

if you have a regulator and meter and all that tech shit its going to measure the PPM and keep the room at that PPM anyways, sure some Co2 might get out which in a sense is a waste but one tank should last you a long ass time regaurdless and they are dirt cheap to refill

Ive been told that it wont last very long, 20lb tank 2 weeks or so is what they tell me, i have a 5x5x8 tent i really wouldnt mind leakage anyway since my veg room is outside the tent, but light leaks i definitely dont want...

You could try weather stripping. It worked wonders for my cab.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just read you have a tent. Im thinking those are a bit different. Never seen one.

not sure ig you have acess to a sewing machine or not but you couls always sew up a piece of canvas with some velcro on it that fits around the zipper then sew on some velcro to the tent and then you have a way to light proof it.

to be honest with you though i think your just looking into this way tooo much, i have flowerd my plants out with no issues with light leaks hitting them during night time hours and it never seemed to phase them at all, they do have to have a certain amount of light hitting them to make them go back into a vegatative stage. moonlight is a perfect example, have you ever been outside at 2 am and you can see everything clear as day?
