IM THINK OF BUYING A 8X4 TENT AND PUTTING two 1000 watters in it. how go is the tent you bought.Are you happy with it?

I'd use 2 or 3 600W hps man. Personally two 600W but I adopted a European model of growing and now yield twice the bud with 60% the light...

Buy a gorilla, I wish I had, though my mammoth 4x4 is good so is my Jardin 2x2...

I love tents pretty easy to setup. All one man setup and done in 5 mins. That's the best part the speed and ease of setup. Spend the extra and get the gorilla. Hang of the poles on the top and you will get it unless you are a fatass or a huge dude you can have your own monkey bars inside

Ordered a 4" can filter for tent - iPower GLFILT4M Air Carbon Filter and Odor Control with Australia Virgin Charcoal for Inline Fan, from Amazon. $55 +tax & free shipping.

Amazon is my go to for cannabis growing supplies - dirt cheap, free delivery right to my front door. I used to frequent a local grow supply store, but damn, he wants almost 3x the $ for same/similar.

I now have all my shit together - just waiting for Trudeau to pull the trigger and make small home grows legal.
:woohoo:

Thanks very much, my fellow Canuck.:tiphat:

Happy high times ahead - the fed are set on bringing our herb out into the daylight & ending the facist Harper mandatory sentences. Justin is a smoker, his Mom was HUGE pothead & his gov't is doing all the right things to bring us in line with Oregon, Washington, etc.

I'm doing the "Legalization Dance" :dance013:

with a bigger tent. u do bottom half frame.. put into the bottom part of the tent.. then put together the rest.. and pull the ttop over it.. works likea champ. ive put together 3 4x8 tents and a 5x5 by myself.. and all VERY QUICKLY.

also I wouldn't get a gorilla tent.. unless you plan on staying in a tent forever lol.. or can use it later for veg if u upgrade to a flower room..

I knew I wasn't staying in tents. so I bought ebay.. cheap tents.. make sure to ask for metal corners instead of plastic.. and they are pretty legit for the price.. I paid 140 for a 4x8.. instead of paying like 5-600 for a gorilla..

the only thing I dislike about these is I lose a lil space having to have my filter not hanging. but if I bought a can 33 instead of the bigger one I have.. I could have hung it..

Thanks for dropping by - the tent I got does have metal corners & my trial assemblies did involve putting base in first then pulling top over frame, kinda like pulling up a hoodie.

I'm pretty much locked into tent - waiting for chance to do small personal grow & I know that with careful methods I can supply my own high for prob 6 months per crop.

4 plants under 400w hps, in dwc, will prob yield about 200 to 300g. That's my head candy covered until well after the next harvest & I plan on 3 harvests a year. Plus the water hash bags I bought for $40 (5 pc set) will recover a good portion of the "waste" trichs from trim.

Also looking at the 12/12 from seed method in 1 of those grows - I've got some female seeds with sativa dom traits - the thread here on that grow type is incredible.

Can filter arrived today! I have the last piece for my grow - tent, light (400w hps in cool tube), seeds, duct fan and can filter.

Now, if the feds would just hurry their asses up & get this legalization thing done - I'm ready.

The Mrs. is the reason I'm waiting - the illegal part is a deal breaker on her part. Happy wife, happy life. I'm "out" as a smoker, but the growing has to be legal, or I'm minus a 30+ year relationship.

I'll wait - and live vicariously thru you fine folks :tiphat:

Lucky guy - that's never happening in my house until it's not illegal.

Nope - so far everything I've ordered has arrived in plain brown or Amazon brown box. No indications, and I order lots of legit stuff, so packages coming here are no big deal.

Lamps, ballast, tent, pH & Ec meters, vitamins, nutes, glasses, can filter, seeds - all inet order & completely incognito.

Love my Amazon!

I think there is a option for a gift with Amazon before paying that will give you plain brown unidentifiable content shipping, not sure if there is a fee for it?

Added air pump to tent accessories - 4 port, quiet, from Amazon, again. My grow plan is a 4 plants in individual dwc's & this 1 is far more efficient than the 3 others I'd scrounged. $35.

At least use it all to grow something while you wait, tomatoes cacti peppers lots of options

Good practice and perhaps sneak a plant or 2 in at same time ;-) eventually

Not saying you should break a totally wrong unjust law tho :)

Also get your Mrs involved in whole aspect and its poss she will enjoy it so much that its a double effort, I'm still struggling to persuade better half to get interested but losing battle after 7/8 years :)

Then again only I know my plants so would be very nervous if she did try lol

Hope what you're waiting for is quick but nothing to do with weed is ever quick :)

33 years together, 30 years married - been trying since Day 1.

Not gonna happen - take your Mrs. & make her A LOT more resistant and stubborn. 100% against the illegal aspect.

I'll wait
