pics sp33d's DIY DWC/drip hydro system and DIY clone/seed germination/grow tent **lots of pics*

wonder if you will get a nice tan if you stay in there a while.

     Man if I had that thing, I know where I'd be hiding all winter. With a margarita and a Hawaiian shirt and Radio Habana playing on the shortwave radio...

damn, just peppers huh? i think not! lol.
 
 
lighthouse hydro... how do you like that tent?
i have their teeeeeny tiny tent. like 32inches long x 12 wide x 36 tall. or something like that...
 
love it.
 
neat helments btw.
 
I object to the total misuse of this tent.
 
 
 
 
 
 
:D Kidding. It looks great, and I suppose it's not a crime when peppers are concerned.
 
Those're fancy brain covers.
 
I play a great drinking game with helmets. Think rhinocerous fight. Who ever loses their helmet first, well.. loses. Drinking isn't really part of the game, so much as the fuel for the fire. If you puss out and run to the side, losing takes on a whole new meaning. Drunk people do not appreciate yeller pussies.
 
Anytime you're game :rofl:
 
Wow! That thing is really state of the art looking. Good job at getting it together. I'm with Dash 2, it's going to make a great get away place. I got my shed, you got your tent! Can't wait to what kind of growth you will be getting int it.

Alright folks I got the grow tent together ....let me tell ya that was a sumbitch to do alone...it say in the video "2 people would be ideal" well your damn right it would be ideal....
Either way I got it done...all I did was put the DWC system I built inside, I didn't hook anything up because I'm whooped ....I also hung my 600w HPS light...
It's a 6.5'x6.5'x6.5' grow tent made by Lighthouse Hydro....I got it for a steal at $170 ...it is definitely high quality and well made., the zippers are heavy duty , the tent material is heavy duty...for Mary Jane growing it is able to be sealed for complete darkness , all the zippers are covered with a flap and Velcro to secure that flap....it has lots of access ports, ventilation hose ports for cooling the HPS light are able to accept 8" and tighten down to accept 4" (mine is 6")..lots of access holes for cables, power cords, hoses etc...the frame is well built, I am able to dead hang my 180 lbs body weight on the frame where the light hangs from...
I will hopefully get this fired up real soon...all I want to do before I do so is mount my 100GPD RO/DI system to something and hang on the wall by my wash room tub...after I get that done I will start some "peter pepper" seeds germinated and in my clone/seed bucket that I built...
Here ya go..let me know what you think...the tent has some dirty spots from me being alone and putting it up and dragging it on floor, it will clean right up..;)
Before I zipped up the walls..
This is the left side as you look at it from the front ...has 2 zip able windows on each side
This is the right side as you would look at it from front and this is where the controller/reservoir will go outside of tent so I don't have worry about the water heating up frm the light...
Inside of the grow tent, I just set everything in their and hung the light...nothing is actually hooked up...
Bumped into my flight helmets..the one with the oxygen mask was for when I crewed the MV22 since it could go above 10,000 feet..we needed oxygen when we weren't pressurized...e other one was for when I crewed the CH46E Vietnam era helicopter ...couldn't go above 10,000 so no need for oxygen mask on that one ...damn I miss flying ...

Man that's a pretty big tent. How many lights are you planning on running in that?

Good job on the setup though. Haha people don't really understand the task and accomplishment that is putting up a tent by yourself. Later!
 
Thanks everyone..;)

You might want to cover the floor with something. The bottoms seem to wear out pretty fast.

It comes with a floor liner..so there are 2 layers at the bottom, to stop any leakage and like you said any wear...

No kidding man...when it starts to snow I might crawl in and never come out..
 
Don't know how I missed all your updates on here. Looking real good.

I have been eyeing the same tent to use for germination over the winter to put up in the basement with a shelf rack inside and maybe a few ow's. Just need to decide on lighting for shelves.

Dude you will have some serious room for germinating if you use this same tent...it is friggin huge....;)

Thanks for checking in man...and again thanks for the pods you sent me dude they were friggin tasty...:)
 
Just a heads up, those drip rings are a total PITA. I have a couple setups like that, and have had too many "mishaps" go on with them - killing some wicked huge plants. They definitely can't be left for more than a few days at most.
 
You will probably have the drill out the drip holes once a month or more due to buildup that occurs and blocks the holes. It also helps if you make the drip holes on the rings slightly larger, but not too much.
 
Supplying the right amount of air is the real trick to getting them to perform optimally.

Sounds to me like you need to use some different nutes. The ones high in salts will clog up the holes very quickly but there are alternatives.
