Okay, the outdoors is done and I'm looking for a new adventure. 🙂
Lots to learn, so I'm a gonna lean on y'all.
Splurged and got an AC Infinity 4 x 4 tent 'kit', with all the bells and whistles.
UPS dropped it off yesterday and hubby and I put it together today. Very impressed with the packaging and ease of assembly.
Now I have to do some reading. Man that light is bright!

I've got a 4x4 as well. It's seen a couple grows and the black on the floor is just the foil worn off. There is a carbon filter, fan, heater, and humidifier in the tent as well. There are a couple autopot bases which will get used probably with coco. It's in need of a good cleaning too.

I usually grow 2 regular plants now but if growing fem or auto 4 would fit. I've had plants testing the ceiling so get used to pinching tops for indoor grows as well as tying branches to spread them out. The beauty of growing indoor is you can grow plants that take too long for outside. Some people do solo cup grows and grow a lot more plants that end up smaller. Lots of choices for you to make.

A new adventure that I expect you will enjoy!

Best wishes as usual.

Thanks for the info. For my first run I'm thinkin' autos, since they stay small and I can focus on the grow and not which branch to move. AND I can take them out of the tent and mess with them without a net stopping me.
I was a little concerned about moisture and the carpet underneath, but after putting it together I don't think it'll be an issue.
Are you fixin' to start another round?

Hey there cpurola big congrats on your new adventure indoor growing🥳💃. I've got real pretty old wood floors and i'm real careful about watering or moisture. I put down a large rubber backed rug under mine. I've got real good at removing standing water under my risers an the catch pans under them. I've used old turkey basters or just lifted them up and poured into a bucket inside the tent. How big of pots you gonna use and how many plants for your first go? You can go 4 easy inside that tent and 5 gal. are plenty big for autos but i use 3gal. I won't start my winter run till after the holidays maybe in Jan. When are you planning to start yours?

I won't start mine for a while. I find it starts feeling like work if I don't take a break.

You're trying something new which is exciting. If I was at that stage again it would be different. The worst part for me now is figuring out what I want to grow from the vault (aka fridge with pyrex dish full of seeds).

Thanks Gal, and yes, 4, 5 gallon pots with autos would be my comfort zone for the first grow. I've got seeds of Northern Lights Autos that I've been hanging onto for awhile so probably them.
I've read that 20 hours light and 4 dark is a good schedule for autos. But I need to germinate them first. (g)
And get some good for indoor potting soil. The AC Infinity kit included 5 gallon fabric pots.
But I need to figure out this AI controller. Maybe I should activate my new phone first. (that I've had for a week, hate change.) LOL

Okay, okay, spent most of this afternoon putting that extractor/blower thing in the tent. But now the light isn't EXACTLY in the center. 😉 Wait, if I drop it down a little. Nevermind. LOL
Oh, and I ran all the wires for the little connection devices so I can use the AI controller. (still haven't downloaded the app.)(no I'm not procrastinating... really.)

Let me just say, if you are disabled and think you're gonna put this stuff together, be prepared to swear, alot. Just sayin'.
