Wanted to share some pictures and details about my indoor grow setup. Once (or thrice) upon a time, I cultivated my own cannabis. Though it’s been about a decade since I grew my last pot plant, that is where I gathered most of my knowledge and affinity towards gardening.
About a year and a half ago I decided to get back into the indoor gardening hobby and started my little basement adventure with (way too many) tomato plants. Today, my tent houses a few pepper plants (bell and some odd fellows grown from what I believe was a mexibell pepper,) some basil (genovese as well as lemon which is flowering for seed,) a sweet potato plant which I do not have high hopes for, a whole bunch of NoID VFT seedlings at about 6-7 weeks since sewing, d. capillaris Emerald’s Envy and Long Arm and some leaf cuttings from them I’m propagating in water. Outside of the tent I also have some kale (scarlet and dwarf Siberian,) oak leaf green luttuce seedlings, arugula and some fig tree cuttings being propagated.
The tent is an 2’x4’ AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 642 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MNSYN21) with AC Infinity AIRTITAN T3 fan and controller (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JNNC3TZ) and two static 6” fans for circulation and temperature control. For lighting I have a ViparSpectra XS2000 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CHCFCG1) inside and a ViparSpectra XS1000 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S7H6D48) outside of the tent. For humidity control, I’ve modified a Levoit Dual 200S (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KT9ZK7Q) by removing the hygrometer and extending a probe to a central location in the tent as well as connecting it to a RODI reservoir that is gravity fed using a float valve for volume control.
Please let me know if you have any questions and definitely if you have any suggestions! Spent a long time dialing this system in for my veggies and am excited to see how my CPs fare in this environment.
Cheers! Andrew
I'd switch the SpiderFarmer to this Viparspectra personally.
I agree with getting your soil locally.
I use wifi switches to control my lights with timer functions so I can always check if they're on or off while I'm away (and it's easy to change on my phone).
Those humidity dome germination kits are really cheap at Home Depot and the likes.
If you're buying the filter because you really can't let it smell, get aluminum tape instead of the extra duct clamps. It holds well and seals much better.
