Nice ive been looking for something like this so i can get my veg room finished and moved were its needs to be. Thanks for the thread +rep

yeah dude a small tent would only cost about 50 bux to make.2x4 or 3x3 ect.i would also go with a wood frame its very sturdy and holds plenty of weight.

ya thats sick dude, this is what i want to do even tho i have this huge room, i still need to tent things off like i mentioned before so. but ya i need to figure out the exhause/inlet part.. i dono how things work/what goes where etc.

any questions just ask.ive gone through 4 cabs/tents so pretty much got it down

what kinda exhaust components do you got pulling that scrubber? i assume there's an inline somewhere up in there (think i saw a duct booster too?), but you bombarded that reflector and duct with that shiny material... what is that? foil tape??

no its 6inch insulated ducting.with the insulation its like 12 inchs tho.the only fan is the stanley blower with a mod. >>>>scrubber>>4inch duct>>diy tube>>6inch insulated>>>cool tube>>6 inch insulated>>STANLEY BLOWER>>6inch insulated>>out the ceiling.all of my ducts are cool to the touch ,the insualtion is bad ass.i covered the reflector with insulation and foil tape awhich is also cool to the touch.saw a few hood insulators online for around 60$.made mine for like 2$. the stanley blower is a mother fucking GANGSTER.it was 45$ at walmart with about 300cfm on high.

Beautiful nice looking tent. 1 concern, no white/reflective material on the inside? you would be several percent more efficient with light if you have a reflective material on the inside.

i recently put up spot reflectors around the 3 plants goin now. i herd bad things about foil altho i have a ton of it.not planning on investing much.just got new job so this will be my last big grow for a little.just gonna take the tent down in a few months.

I got the Stanley Blower fan too, thing is fuckin awesome for blasting in fresh air!!

Hey bud Im hving some trouble with venting my flower room it gets to like 90F with my ac on still. its my lights to hot still I have a cooltube, exhaust fan, portable ac, and a fan tower like you but my room gets madd hot still what am I doing wrong? My ac has like a 3 min delay that puts the fan on then goes back to ac I think when that delay is on the heat takes over or my exhaust isnt good enough what you guys think? heres a link to my exhaust fan http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=48436 tell me if its cheapo or if something else is a problem

yeah man i bought that fan and its JUNK!broke after about 4 months and didnt suck much of anything.its a duct booster fan so it increases air flow.buy a stanley blower for 45$ at walmart or HD.also known as a lasko blower.your fan is without a doubt the problem.use it as an intake.ur gonna have to mod the stanley blower a little but a 5 year old could do it.let me know how it works out.and make sure your exhausting the hot air out of the room.not just the tent.
