Thoughts on this seedling / clone rack

iggy097 · Aug 6, 2022

I plan on using the rack for clones and mother plants - I added reflective walls (it’s a 4’ rack not a tent) - what are your thoughts on light leaks to the two tents in the room? I mean they should be light proof. I really didn’t want to buy another tent but I could if I needed to.

That light is hanging and taking up space that could be used by another shelf.

When I had my pepper starts in there, both shelves were full all the way to the top. No room for anymore shelves

So you need to be able to do that again? The pepper starts?
Otherwise you should consider high quantity clone capacity first, then worry about stuff worth cloning

Light leaks aren’t an issue in tents
I’ve even had tents set up outdoors
I see no reason not to just put clone racks out in the open with no tent or walls
Even if the lights are on 24/7
It’s not like you are stealthy with tents all over

I will probably do my starts again next year in that - However I might try and figure out if I can fit a smaller dedicated clone / mother tent in my room. That being said I don't want to have to buy a whole new inline fan setup for another tent for clones / mothers if I can figure out a way not to.

I meant light leaking into the 4x4 tents in the room that are used for veg/flower

sweet setup man!

I like it.. i would put one or two more shelves in it though..

I just wanted to give him a friendly gut check...you can run out of clone capacity real fast. He's thought it out i suppose

I’m not understanding
If I can run tents outdoors you can indoor
Tiny holes in tents aren’t an actual problem
Unless you leave your tent flaps open ?
If you mean lights shining on clone areas from tents
Who cares?
