DIY Tent Grow LED Bagseed DWC

Hey guys I'm still building the tent once it's finished I will begin the grow.

My DIY Tent is 18×18×44
There will be a 4inch in line exhaust and a passive 4inch intake.
I have 10×15watt LED bulbs for growing. ( might buy another light later maybe a 300watt LED or a 200watt ufo)
I've done other grows in soil and Hydro and have always had better yields from the Hydro so I'm going with the Deep Water Coulter setup. Probably a 3 gallon vs a 5 gallon bucket.

When the grow starts I will start two seeds with the hope that one will atleast be female.

Here's a few pics of the tent so far!!!
 
Awesome man. I've had to sadly,.. scale down from a 2k room to a closet. and these micro grows have been truly inspiring me. I'm curious as to your nute regiment
 
I used to have a larger setup but had to stop cause of my newborn but now we have a bigger place and a small space for me. So I could build a small tent. I tend to use general hydroponics for nutes.

I'm still not sure if I'm gonna do dwc or build a small ebb and flow tray system.
 
Was doin some fan tests and have decided to move the in line fan so that it has better flow. The 90 in the ducting is cutting the flow in half.
 
Sorry for the long wait I've been really busy with family issues.........but on the other hand I was able to get the door put on, the inline fan repositioned and I made a 70watt led grow light.(will be replaced with an actual grow light soon probally a 300watt) here's a couple pics.
 
I plan on building another light exactly like the one I just made just for now until late I figure out what one to get. I'm also gonna do 2 plants in soil right now to get the tent dialed in so I can build the best hydro system to go in this tent I'm leaning towards a 18inch×18inch ebb and flow setup.

Looks like you only have a little more to go bud! Was that bud porn from A previous grow of yours?

I hope you get this up and running soon. Can't wait!
 
Ran the tent for a few hours and the temps stayed at what the room temperature was so that is good but the only problem is that it's 84 here. Can't wait for winter if I have to I have ways of making the area cooler but not gonna worry about it unless it becomes a problem.
 
Finally found the rest of my Bagseed they will either be a blackberry og or they r sour og those were the 2 names on the bag they were in. The two seeds I'm trying to pop right now r taking there dear old time so I'm glad that I found 10 more seeds just in case these two don't sprout.

I like the DIY tent. It looks like a great way to build it quick, easy, and inexpensive.

:lurk:
 
It cost maybe 40$ for the tent. And as you can see by the green paint it was actually for my daughters birthday as a banner frame so I made it a grow tent. Everything else I already had from a year or two ago with my bigger grows.
 
One of my seeds popped it is now in a pot waiting to sprout from the ground. It was weird out of the 2 seeds I'm germinating the one I didn't think would pop popped first. huh
 
Here's a couple pics of the cab pretty much complete. I'm gonna make a new light but other than that nothing will really change till I have time to build the Hydro system.
 
I just made my order for the materials I need for my led grow light. All this for 50$.

50 × 3w led chips
4 × led drivers
1× aluminum sheet
5ft 22 gauge wire
Soldering iron
Soldering Flux
Solder
