New Grow Tent (Advise Please)

FortyThunder472 · Dec 19, 2024

Hey guys. Included below are the pictures of my grow tent with the specs. I’ll also send what I’ve been doing but for some odd reason, I feel like I’m going so small with this tent. What a waste of money. So please help me use this tent wisely. I use soil now instead of hydroponics.

The burnt plants are from my first grow. Please go easy. My auto timer stopped working while I was on vacation and flooded them with concentrated nutes for over 48 hours. Woof!

I don't think the tent is to small at all.
8x4 is my biggest but my other 2 tents are smaller then yours, 4x2 and 3x2.
Most people run only 2x2, 3x3, 4x2, and 4x4 tents so the space you have is more then quite a few growers.

80" is good height, wouldn't want less then 72" personally.

Using scorg and/or other training techniques will help you utilize your space to the fullest.

You went with AC Infinity, that was a great decision!
Best in the industry IMO!!!

Thank you. Do you know how many autos and photos I can fit in this and won’t come into too many issues?

This tent is a champion.

It's going to depend on strain, training plans, pot size, etc

Some people put way more plants in their tent then I would.
I run 6 Photoperiods in a 8x4.
In a 5x5, I would probably run 4 Photoperiods or 6 Autoflowers, depending on the how big the Autos get.

You can stuff a tent full and not have room for training and get the same yield as a tent with less plants that was trained to fill the tent.
I prefer to use less seeds and train for the same yield.

That was an awesome reply. Thank you. I’ll use your promo on my next batch.

I’m gonna run 6 autos my next go and then take my time on 3 photos when I have some stash saved up. Again. Thanks for the advice.

Happy to help!

I appreciate the compliment!
I'm sure there's other members that will chime in with their advice as well, make sure to check back because they may give you advice or an idea that I didn't.

Everyone has their own style so I'm sure you will get more great answers!

The main difference is vegetation time. Autos take about the same time to flower as photos. For example, this is the advertised data for Royal Creamatic from RQS:

Doing the math, this auto is in vegetation for about four weeks. You can do that with photos, too, but you can extend it if you decide to do so. You can't change it with autos.

Also... A 5x5 is a large tent. I stopped using a 4x4 because it took up too much space. Four square feet of floor space per plant is a good estimator. So, your 5x5 has 25 square feet. That's enough space for six plants using this estimation method. That, of course, is if you're growing common-sized plants.

Very helpful. Thank you. So these bad boys have some time left.
