New indoor space

[Dusty Ol' Man]

As most of you know I have been growing indoors in a small Martha tent. The full size catts and Brasso have been taking up a lot of room and I've been feeling a lack of control due to the crowding. Mrs. Dusty was at Lowe's and saw on sale a larger tent of a similar type. So after a bit of thought, we made the purchase. It turns out, after assembling everything, it has increased my growing area by 4 times! Now I'm in trouble because I can't blame no new plants on not enough room!

whoa!!! you went from an apt to a mansion!!!

take some time to make sure your parameters are all the same and consistent. in that space you can make different "zones" and have wetter/dryer side a cooler/warmer side. i would make them perpendicular so you have a warmer dry and warm wet and vice versa


congrats on the upgrade

Thanks for the kind words and the advice. I will look into making zones at some point. Right now I'm working on raising the temps a few more degrees. My high temp has dropped 10° and it has me watching everything closely. I probably need to get a couple more thermometers and check temps in different areas. The fans move air around without being forceful. I have made a shady area for plants newly transplanted into SH that sits on a heat mat. This is a slow work in progress. Any tips are always considered.

Dusty, I think ya ought to consider just getting it over with a shrink-wrapping the whole house.

Well, it's happening. I just ordered two more from Hausermann's. Laelia lundii and Angraecum didieri. Should receive them next week.

I found a video from a guy who has an indoor grow tent pretty much the same size as mine. It gives a very nice tour of the tent and all the gadgets he uses to create and maintain his growing environment. I have since added a heater and day/night control. My day/night temps are now 83/68 f with humidity of 60-70%. Here's the video link.
