DIY Grow Tent

This grow tent has cost around $80 for everything except the light. It is 2.5'x3'x5.5' tent completely light proof!

It is built of B&W Poly, 1/2" PVC and fittings, B&W duck tape, velcro, and a hot glue gun.

Why go and buy a $150 tent? when you can build one for almost half the price?

@warchild: plz answer: at what temp PVC becomes toxic? If you are growing plants and the plants are growing well, then that means your probably not over 85 degrees, which is still hot and could wilt your plants, but PVC will not leach at that temp. This was built to be cheap and easy for those people that can't/ don't want to buy an expensive pre-built tent. Thanks for the comment tho!

@adolescent900: you are absolutely correct. This is a passive exhaust, but you could easily add some PC fan-type exhaust fans and your set! @r0tanimret: again your correct. Now days it may be cheaper to buy the same size tent. More people buy, more the price drops on commercial stuff. A the time of this vid, same size tent costed $300. Which would you have? Satisfaction of building it yourself, or buying one pre-built for twice as much?

what did you use in your vent holes, it doesn't say

[MyOwnFitness]

@marshall477 sorry i didn't post that. I used the rain gutter vents that go over the top of rain gutters so leaves and junk don't go in (rain gutter department at Home Depot). then i used some black window screen stuff i had lying around and extra B&W poly to make covers. Very simple and the covers make it light proof. Sorry for taking 2wks to get back to you, i just moved.

Where did you purchase your B&W Poly & most importantly, how thick is it? I really like it. I like it enough, I think that I am going to scrap mine and build one like yours. Thanks for the upload!

wht did you use to make air intakes light tight? just regular AC air filter?

[yurevich777]

where did you buy it



[LEITHWALKNINJA]

wot kind of light is that?

[HOLLERMIKE]

@TheMexicanweed1 because white material, especially gloss, works just as good if not better

You can buy a grow tent for $75 on Amazon.

[Mr2Grimm]

how many plants you growing in there?

[ajlawson2]

Oh lastly I use Jiffy Pots to germinate the seeds then I do a direct transplant from Jiffy pot to 3 gallon pot. Good luck and great job and as always, Dont listen to the Haters, they try to bring us all down but it wont work!!

I paid 40 dollars for soil for 5 3-gallon pots, 1xbag of 3/4 rocks, all pipe and fittings, and a roll of 25'x10' black poly. Then I paid 28$ for a Mylar reflective roll 4'x25'. Bought the Mylar from the local hydroponics shop and bought all else at local Home Depot. Fun, easy and I get to see my progress and save money!! The dimensions are 54"long, 25" wide, and 62" high. Good luck on your growing man!! I only have one vent hole and one exhaust hole. Your room looks amazing.
