I have picked up a new, much smaller tent or "pre-made unit" than I'm used to growing in. My last one was 4x4x6, a perfect little flower room. I used it for my complete garden for the first cycle I ever grew in this unit. I split the tent w/ velcro & two smaller squares of aluminum sheet metal and used one side for veg and the other for flower during my first grow. It worked out really well considering the construction of the unit. I was able to put the sheets of aluminum directly in the middle of the two doors to keep each side free of all light during their photosynthetic period, (dark period). I did okay with this setup, keeping a small perpetual garden going for a very low price. I used two 125 watt CFL's, cool day spectrum in the veg room, with one warm & cool spectrum 65 watt bulb vertically hung, (the 65W warm spectrum only used the last two weeks of veg to gain a bit of upward growth, if needed). The flower room contained a single 400 watt HID lighting system, I used an "Eye Blue" Metal Halide, and far red spectrum HPS Bulb every other week & the last two-three weeks of flower, (the eye blue MH recommended by the REV, Skunk Magazine/Skunkmagazine.com, check out the book True Living Organics for more information by the REV, and how to grow some truly amazing organic beauties).
This tent though, a 6 ft tall X 3 ft wide X 2 ft deep, pre made unit. Less than half the size of the garden space I used to work with even when I used the one unit which did not last long. In fact, I even had another 3x3x5 ft tent for veg the cycle following the one described above. Just the veg room was bigger. I hope the equipment I have will work well and flow as seamlessly as it did in the last unit(s). The question of space has still been constantly on my mind. Wondering how it would all fit together, so instead of wondering and bullshitting to be forward about it, I put her together today, (for the most part). I have to do a little rearranging to get my vortex fan up top, and work the 400 CFM booster fan into the intake port. And I need to get a 8'-6' duct reducer in order to put my little computer fan behind my HID bulb in the fixtures duct flange in order to extract that ultra hot air right from the source, (the bulb). It'll push it out right into the 600 CFM's of air rushing out through the top vent upon leaving the fixture flange site.
Other than the fans and Reducer, everything went together really nicely. I'm very happy with the way it looks and how efficient it seems to hold up regardless of it's small stature. I decided to go ahead and put the trellis into the tent as there was no reason not to. I can already see the blanket of single bud colas I plan to have sticking out the top in no less then 90 day's, (if all goes well/ according to my plans). It'll no doubt be a new experience so I'm stoked on that too, but this will be the first time I plan to grow plants with no kind of pruning, training, bending, etc. I have a beautiful mother at my brothers house he's been watching since I put a stop to the last operation. She is a "Super Sour Bubble Haze" phenotype that I absolutely love, Named Scutt after my cat. She is gorgeous, and a phono that I always really admired as well so I'm real happy to be starting this next grow with already pronounced & extravagant genetics that I know I love and will use.
Here are a few picture of what I setup today minus the trellis, I took the pics a little wile before I put it in. The fans are also not in the picture but you can see the light, and the space itself as well as the electrical setup. It's a new start. STOKED!!!
