Hi 420 Fishin,
I use a Secret Jardin Dark room 80 with a New Wave T5 2 foot 8 bulb light. I also use a Can Fan 4" HO with a Charcoal filter to control the smell and to circulate the air.
I really like the tent but please keep in mind that it can get very hot in a tent so that is why I use the...
I have a tent 31" x 31" x 5"3" tall. I was also concerned about the heat.
I use a new wave t5 light that emits little heat. I was able to grow 5 nice ice cream plants from veg to flower with good results.
I would look at t5 alternative to control the heat.
Thanks Cook 420,
I have a heater in the room now and I keep it at least 50 degrees at night. I was thinking of shutting it off but I think you are right about the freezing possibility
I will continue leaving the heater on in the attic until dry.
Thanks,
My Paradise Seeds Ice Cream buds are about a week away from Harvesting. I am very happy with the seeds. All the seeds Germinated
and they are all doing good.
They are in my attic in a tent and the only problem that I have is the temperature.
When I hang them up in about week the...
I use 8" square pots. When the plant is 5-6" high I bend it over to the side and train the plant to go around the pot. To hold the plant down I use coated electrical wire that I found at Home depot.

Good Luck
I use a t5 8lamp New wave in a Secet Jardin dr 80 31"X31" and I was able to grow plants from veg to flower. I Use the LSt technique to control height. I had 9 veg pants that turned into 4 females.
Nice buds. I was happy with the first grow.
I have a DR80 with a t5 Sun System New Wave flourescent light.
I use the t5 because it produces less heat and when growing in a tent.The heat from an HID in a small tent can be a big problem unless vented correctly.
If you start with a T5 8lamp flourescent you do not have to worrry about...
I grew 4 plants in an attic using a secret jardin tent in NE Ohio. I started in March when it was cold outside. In March I used a New Wave T5 8 lamp fluorescent light with a small heater on a timer. The lights and timer were on in the evening and the light was off durring the day.
When it got...
Thank you for the info. I am glad to find a product that works.
I like the ONA brand products gel. The literature says simply put the gel in a small area, punch a few holes in the lid and no dispensor is needed.
Does anyone out there have any experience with the ONA gel?
:thankyou:
I am growing 4 plants in a small 3x3 tent and I will need an odor control system.
I was originally thinking of a can fan and filter but I found ONA Odor Neutralizing Products.
According to the website you simply place the Ona gel next to the odor source and it eliminates the odor.
Does...
ChicagoJoe, thanks for the reply.
The outside temp can get as low as 20 degrees. I plan on venting the exhaust air into the attic so they attic will be warmer but I think the attic temp will be cold (40's) for they next few months.
I was hoping the heat from the light would be hot enough to...
I just found your question about hanging the fan, Filter and ventilation.
I hope you found the answer because I have the same question.
I have a Secret Jardin dr 80 tent and I am ready to order the ballast, reflector fan and filter. The tent is in my attic and I live in a colder climate...
I have done some research via the internet and it seems that grow tents are an easy way to develop a grow area.

Very Nice!
I am planning on using a Grow Lab GL 80 in an attic and would really like to follow your grow for ideas. I hope some day I can help you.
I have a few questions?
What type of Fan and carbon scrubber?
What is your source for fresh air?
How do you run the fan-light-carbon scrubber...
