This is a tiny little propagation tent, 40 cm x 40 cm. I hung the fan with bungee cords, with some flex duct venting out the top. This is controlled with a Sonoff TH16. The light is a little 25-watt deal hung by the wire. A little heat must on a thermostat on the bottom.

I thought this was the inside of the small tent.

Where did you find how to make those planters or did you make them yourself?

The WWxBB Autos are in my workbench. It’s about 75x75x75 cm. It has six 2700K strips on a 240 driver and three 4000K strips on a 120-watt driver. There are two of these areas with the fan in between exhausting them both.
I made the small planters and the no-till bed. The WWxBB are just 5-gallon spartan pots off amazon.

I remember now, I remember you put pics of it up a while back. What kind of fabric is it you use?
Cheers

It is called eco-felt. It is made from recycled water bottles. Make sure to use nylon thread, not cotton

My mother plants look like they are doing much better now that I lowered my LED lights from 75-watts to 48-watts. So technically I’m running at half the wattage of the old T5 (96-watts).

Great grow! Have you tried malted barley? Just grind it up and use, I find it easier than sprouting seeds. More enzymes that way!

Yes, I prefer the malted barley. I bought the barley seed for another project and just wanted to use it.

@ReikoX. You know how you have dropped the led intensity down? Will that slow the growth in 18/6 and will they still thrive as long as I feed them well enough and keep topping her?? This is the area of growing I’ve not read up about. I’d like to maybe grow a female keeper and take cuttings but I’m limited on space so the smaller I can keep it the better.

I’m feeling my way through this myself. I turned down the lights because they looked like they were getting light burned. I may even turn them down more. Previously I had the T5 in there and can keep these for around 6-9 months. With constant toppings. This area is roughly 2x2x2.
Last night I decided to give the mother plants a feed and a trimming. I may have gotten a little carried away with the Juanita mother. There are three that definitely need to be reset, Juanita la Lagrimosa, Adonis, and Grass Monkey. Next round of clones will be those.
The Zak Haze clone is slowly making its way to the screen. I can only assume that it is working on the root system. Ironically I noticed that the extra clone that I just threw in my old bag of recycled soil was still alive? It’s been in there with no light for about a week now.
Stick a fork in these testers, they are done.

Zak Haze is finally reaching above the net. Note to self, freshly rooted clones take quite a while to get their roots stretched out in the no-till bed

Mixed up a light mix for these rooted clones. It was 50% used soil, 40% rice hulls, and 10% EWC. This was watered in with fulvic acid, kelp, and aloe.
I cleaned out the left side of my workbench and put them under the lights at about 10% to start hardening them off before sending them to my brother’s.
Not exactly sure where I’m going to put these SIP containers, thinking about veggies outside. They do fit inside the workbench though.

Made up a batch of soil today. I started out with 7.5 gallons of peat moss, 4.5 gallons of perlite, and 3 gallons of fresh EWC. To this I added 2.5 cups of dolomite lime. I set aside a couple gallons of this base mix for seedlings. Then added 2 cups bone meal and 1 cup blood meal, kelp, and greensand. Finally, I wet it down with two gallons of water with fulvic acid and reetha glycerine.
The no-till bed got three tablespoons of ground malted barley watered in with fulvic acid, silica, and reetha glycerine.

also made some activated EM1. 1/4 cup EM1, 1/4 cup molasses and 15.5 cups of RO water. It will ferment for about a week or until pH drops below 3.8.
Speaking of pH, I went to calibrate my Blulab pen and the 7.0 calibration succeeded, but the 4.0 calibration said “err”. I keep the sponge wet with storage solution. Maybe I need to clean it? The dang thing is only nine months old

Is this for the microbes?

Yes, that’s what the M in EM stands for… I think the E standard for effective…
