After my 1st grow in an IKEA cabinet I retrofitted, I took a look at the whole set-up and just wasn't that impressed with the space. It was very limited and really wasn't geared at growing anything too big.
After much research, I decided to go with a host of different sized tents to accommodate some pretty productive grows in the future. Here are a couple of pics and descriptions of what I have so far:
Here's the HTG Mother Keeper tent equipped with Sunblaze 4 lamp T5 lighting, a 4" duct fan and 2 sets of Autopots.
Here are the Autopots filled with ReadyGro aeration mix. I've got one AK-48 seedling in here, which I don't think will make it. I have a GH 5 pack indica/sativa color coded mix on the way.
Here's the GrowLab GL80 tent which is set-up for SOG. I have a DIY 9 bucket ebb&flow set-up, Sun Systems 7 dual spectrum reflector with (1) 250w HPS & (1) 175w 6500k MH lamp, 4" blower fan and carbon scrubber.
The 9 buckets fit pretty nice in the tent. I went a little above & beyond and instead of hooking all of them up via vinyl tubing I constructed a 1/2" pvc manifold which all the buckets sit atop.
Here's the "ginormous" reflector, fan and carbon scrubber.
Here's a pic of both the lights running. 425w baby!! Yeah
I still have a Homebox XS tent on the way which I'll use strictly for starting seeds and cloning. I'll use the Euro reflector, I was running in my previous cab, with another 175w 6500k MH and 4" duct fan.
I can't wait to get into full swing!!
